Uh.. well let's see.. the kid is learning that it's ok to be racist?

The hispanics I'm sure he was waving at were probably Americans.

They seem to need reminding of that fact. And I would advise against the "racist" card being played. The facts in eveidence do not support it, and its play immensely decreases the value of any valid points you may have.

You appear to hold the opinion that the young man in question was wrong to have "waved the flag". Unless he was profane in his comments, or was belligerent in his manner (i.e.: directly trying to provoke individual protestors by getting up in their faces), I fail to see what he did wrong. The article does not allege that he did either of these things.

I would say he's being taught that "righteous indignation" is a hate crime, based on my reading of the events.
