Should public school officials have the right to prevent students from wearing pro-American garb on Cinco de Mayo?
This question has been at the heart of a California court battle between the Morgan Hill Unified School District and students who were told by a principal and assistant principal that they could not wear American flag t-shirts on the Mexican holiday back in 2010.
Following the incident, a lawsuit against the district was launched by the students and their families. This week, the case came to a close, with a federal judge ruling against the students — a blow that is likely to infuriate some free speech advocates.
According to U. S. District Court Judge James Ware, the district did not violate the students’ first amendment rights. The judge also found that officials‘ concern over the potential violence that could be incited by the students’ pro-American outfits justified the school’s actions

Cinco de Mayo is a day people can buy marguaritas for half price.
This judge says a shirt with a flag might offend someone. The Mexican flag offends me! As do phony black judges who claim to have been more of the Civil Rights Movement than they were. And all democrats, including democrat voters.
Next May 5, they should burn a Mexican flag--then dare the authorities to do anything about it, since flag burning has been declared a form of free speech.
Nah, just catch him at an opportune moment, offer him a lift so to speak, and drive him to Mexico...oh never mind, the rest is probably illegal!

No problem just tell the school that you are occupying the school and you can do whatever you want and get away with it.
CdM isn’t even a real Mexican holiday, it’s a holiday for the liquor industry to sell more Tequila.
“No longer do we have to obey these “judges”.”
We should organize the purchase and distribution of American Flag back packs to distribute to every student in this school that is willing to carry them to school on their backs.
Then this judge needs to be dealt with! Where are the men that would meet him in his office, in his parking lot, on his front door step to voice their disgust.
What is the process for removing this judge and the Mexican school official that sent the kids home in the first place?
Disgusting!
Post of the day!
All of this struggling to find an apt analogy for the current administration and the best one was behind each of us all along!
“This Federal Judge offends ME!”
They should ban the rulings by this judge. Lest there be violence directed at him!
Isn’t that his rationale for banning the US flag shirts?
So the wearing an American Flag on Cinco de Mayo is now prohibited, yet they probably could burn American Flag and this judge would think that is fine—unbelievable :(((
Wear a USMC tee shirt for CdM. After all, the first five words of the Marine Corps Hymn pay tribute to a visit by the USMC to the land of tacos.
Can’t Federal Judges be impeached?
Illegal? Probably so, but I like where you were going with it. The bastard is a traitor to the country and should be disbarred.
See #32:
Cinco de Mayo is a promotional gimmick for the alchohol industry, nothing more. The judge is promoting alchohol comsumption among minors. Bring the goon up on charges.
Thanks for the tip...in addition to wearing Stars and Stripes every May 5th until I die...I’m burning a MexiHOLE flag.
Also, I urge everyone to call it “MAY 5TH” and refuse to use the other term. That only legitimizes it here. FUC# MEXICO.
I wonder if on Flag Day June 14th. that the school would forbid students from wearing flag clothing because it might incite Latino’s to riot???
I wonder if on Flag Day June 14th. that the school would forbid students from wearing flag clothing because it might incite Latino’s to riot or offend them???
We have lots of Marines gear, but I like the flag idea better because it’s more direct. Maybe both is best.
My fiancee’ has a son in a Minneapolis VA hospital learning to walk again after a cowardly bombing in Afghanistan. Happy birthday to the Marines!
