First off I never played the race card.. however since YOU brought up.. do you have any proof that the kid is not a racist?
The facts in evidence show that the kid was waving around his shirt at Hispanic students and cussed at a teacher. The kid is clearly no Saint.
The article alleges that the kid was out of line.. when faced with that he cussed at a teacher.. again not exactly saintly behavior.
I'm not certain he should have been told to stop.. because I don't know how he exactly running around waving this flag or what he might of been saying to other students... what I do know is that he was suspended for mouthing off to an adminstrator which no one in the article denies that he did.
You did play the race card. Here is the money quote:
Uh.. well let's see.. the kid is learning that it's ok to be racist?
Also, doesn't the burden of proof fall on the accuser, not the victim? Besides, one cannot prove a negative.
As far as I can tell, you were arguing that the punishment was appropriate because the act of waving the flag could be provocation. Have I mischaracterized your position?
Suspension for swearing at the school administrators is severe, IMO. Expulsion is outrageous.
