"Boden and Rodriguez believed the boys' display of patriotism would cause trouble on campus and possibly a fight as many Hispanic students simultaneously celebrated Cinco de Mayo, which included a lunchtime celebration for the Mexican holiday that marks the Mexican army's victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862."

This is still the Company-Line, so to speak. The paper reports that the Admins believed that the 5 kids wearing our own flags were the instigators, while the couple hundered kids waving Mexican flags were innocent victims of racism.

If Mexico is so great, move back.

Once again proof that all cultures are not equal. Like posted earlier, if Mexico is so great, get the hell out of here and go back.

On the other hand if you want to be part of the American experience, come here legally, learn the language and drop all the anti-American hyphens. xx-Americans will always be lessor Americans.

What if they were “instigators”?

Sorry Pablo but even on Cinco de Mayo Live Oak High School sits on the sovereign soil of the United States of America.

Cinco de Mayo is not a holiday in Mexico, but is observed somewhat in the state of Puebla where the battle took place.
Cinco de Mayo is observed in the U.S. by Corona beer drinkers and media who don’t know Cinco de Mayo is not a holiday (no offense to idiots intended).
