[Still Thinking]

Maciel said they were told they must turn their T-shirts inside-out or be sent home. Maciel said they were told it wouldn't be considered a suspension but Rodriguez did not want any fights to break out among Mexican students and the group showing their American pride.

So was anyone wearing the Mexican flag? Were THEY sent home "to prevent fights"? Why isn't that considered incendiary? I'd think it would be more "incendiary" to display a national flag in someone else's country than in the country to which that flag belongs.

Yup, that is the way in all the places I have lived in or traveled through. There are exceptions, but locals frown when someone displays a national symbol that is not the local one... gee, too logical?
