Mexican flag burned after week of protests

Associated Press Mar. 31, 2006 07:10 AM

Tensions over immigration got a little heated Thursday in Apache Junction.

A Mexican flag was brought to school by a Hispanic student in response to what he said was a racist remark directed at him the day before. After he and other students raised the flag on the school's flagpole, the newspaper said another group of students took it down and burned it.

The burning and ensuing shoving match between the two groups of students happened before most students arrived at the school.

The school's principal said all six students involved will be disciplined.

Security was beefed up after the incident but there were no other problems at the school Thursday.

they feel it necessary to say that Americans need to let the illegals in without incident.
Well, they can say it all they want, but it ain't going to happen. Good luck and tell your kids to be strong ... real Americans are behind them 100%. If it takes blood in the streets - so be it.

Sooner or later, burning a Mexican flag will be prosecuted as a hate crime. It's coming.
