Actually, Mexicans don’t celebrate Cinco De Mayo, it’s not a national holiday for them (the local area where the battle took place does celebrate).
Cinco De Mayo is an American creation, California to be exact.
Now if someone could just explain why Mexican-Americans would be opposed to seeing American flags. After all, they are Americans, and the American flag is there flag.
Makes me wonder if the school removed all the American flags for the day (or if the school even HAS flags in the classrooms for the morning pledge, or if the school even DOES the morning pledge).
I think I’ll push our local school board to pass a rule that no child can be removed from class for wearing an American flag shirt, patch, or pin in the appropriate manner.
Although I never would have thought we’d need a rule like that.
“Cinco De Mayo is an American creation, California to be exact.”
It pisses me off that Americans are forced to be terrorized by pretend holidays like Cinco de Mayo and Kwanzaaaaaaaaa.
