They just learned a very valuable lesson..................
Did you notice two of the kids are part Mexican?......Bravo for them!.........
Another public school suspended sixteen students for prancing around the school wearing Mexican flags wrapped around themselves.
When the schools get out of the propagandizing business and get into the learning business they won’t have to deal with this crap.
Cinco de Mayo is NOT an American holiday. There is no reason to be discussing the day in any other context than reading, writing, and arithmetic.
no kid has the “right” to wear anything the school code says no one can wear on campus
bandannas are a gang thing. “no” flags means “no” flags because in cases like this, they were trying to make a political statement, some you agree with, some you might not but it disrupts that school in the principle’s judgement.
but reciting the pledge of allegiance every day? Si.
this incident is a good argument for school uniforms

Note that the District’s official position is that the school administrator was wrong.
Which state is this?
Interesting that 2 of the targeted boys who are quoted are part Mexican. Good for them. They have more sense than their principal.
I got home from work last night about 6:30 and the high school (3 blocks away) was having some sort of Cinco de Mayo celebration with the loudspeakers running at full tilt in Spanish. This is on the San Fran peninsula about 45 minutes from Morgan Hill. This was a first ever in my nearly 30 years here — to come home to a major Fiesta in my backyard. All I could think of was “Where in America can you flee to escape this nonsense?”
It sounds like these students need a closet full of conservative, anti-Leftist t-shirts to wear every day to really p.o. these teachers. What conservative t-shirts would you like to see them wear to class?
“These school officials should be scolded for the racsim it just created.’
Scolded? They should be *fired*. At a minimum sent home on administrative leave without pay for a week to contemplate their stupidity.
The respectful display of the American flag — anywhere within the United States — is never “inflammatory.” Anyone responsible for teaching the next generation of Americans who believes otherwise needs to leave public education and find a job in another line of work.
If you get paid in dollars, you speak English and honor American holidays.
If you want to celebrate mexican holidays, go to mexico and get paid in pesos.
#%&* you illegal mexicans
Does anyone know where the heck Morgan Hill is?
I mean, I suppose there are a few folks here who live in or near Morgan Hill, so they know. But there are probably a lot of us here - like myself - that couldn’t even tell you (and certainly would not be able to surmise from anything in the article) which time zone Morgan Hill is in — let alone what state.
ping for later

If I were one of the parents involved here I would be demanding the job of the Vice-Principal and the Principal as well for their treasonous like behavior. If Mexicans want to celebrate their holiday then send all back to Mexico and let them have at it. This story just infuriates me.
