Had he supported his right to free expression, you might have a case.

But he's a lame ass and pulled the race card right off the bat. That's what I objected to. That and his absurd historical inaccuracy.

If he wanted to whinge about the importance of his heritage, the least he could have done was know it.

Thomas said he has worn a turquoise bracelet, key-chain adornment and other accessories symbolizing his heritage every day and to all school functions for about four years. He wore a bolo -- a string tie held together with a round ornament common in the Southwest -- to a formal school function and during rehearsal the day before graduation.

I'd say the kid's got a point. Especially considering he wore it regularly to other functions. And for you to say it's historical inaccuracy, I don't remember him saying a specific date. Anything before 1985 to him was historical. Does that also mean we shouldn't remember WWII victories yet because they're not historical enough?
