What country are we in? 200 students left school and held a march today following the reports yesterday that 4 students dare wear American flag shirts on Cinco de Mayo.

MorganHill Times reported:
About 200 Hispanic teens are marching in Morgan Hill yelling “We want respect!” and “Si se puede!” in reaction to a controversy ignited when the Live Oak High School principal effectively sent four students home for wearing T-shirts with American flags on them during Cinco de Mayo.
Mexican-American students felt the students were being disrespectful on the only day they celebrate their heritage while students sporting red, white and blue said it violated their First Amendment rights.
Six police cars and a Morgan Hill motorcycle officer have been cruising alongside the large group as it marches.
The group – mostly high school students – walked out of school this morning after the story of four students who were sent home because they wore American flag T-shirts went viral on TV and online. Many wear red, white and green and two large Mexico flags can be seen at the front of the line.
The students say they want people to know they’re proud of their heritage and they believe wearing red, white and blue on Cinco de Mayo is disrespectful.
Yes, that was it.
Of course the filter also blocks a local news website and flags it as ‘entertainment’ so...
MJ, I know. I lived under Castro.
If they have UNDOCUMENTED Parents, whether the children are ILLEGALLY US Citizens or not, round them up and deport their little arses.
The want respect, GO HOME AND APPLY FOR A GREEN CARD and I’ll give you all the respect you can handle.
Otherwise, you’re just a creepy pond scum burglar who broke into Casa USofA to steal, embezzle and forge so you can deplete resources that rightfully belong to REAL US Citizens.
I do have empathy for the children, but they do not belong in the USofA and should have been born in their parents’ home Country and NOT here.
mexicans need to celebrate the zone of mexico as the birth place of syphilis and their heritage of cannablism......
-What you doing, mister?
-Nothing.
-You’ re trespassing on private property.
-Trespassing?
-Loitering too.
-That’s right. You’ re loitering too.
-I didn’t see any signs.
-What you call that?
-Graffiti?
-No, man. That’s not f*cking graffiti! That’s a sign.
-He can’t read it, man.
-I’ll read it for you. It says this is private property. No f*cking trespassing. This means f*cking you!
-It says all that?
-Yeah!
-If you wrote it in English, I’d f*cking understand it!
-Thinks he’s being funny.
-I’m not laughing.
-I’m not either.
-Hold it, fellas. We’ re getting off on the wrong foot. This is a gangland thing, isn’t it? We’re having a territorial dispute? I’ve wandered into your pissing ground or whatever the damn thing is. . .and you’ re offended by my presence. I understand that. I mean, I wouldn’t want you people in my back yard, either. This is your home. . . .and your home is your home. I respect that. So if you would just back up a step or two. . .I’ll take my problems elsewhere. Fair enough?
-What do you think?
-He should pay a toll.
-Good idea. You should pay a toll.
-Listen, fellas. . .I’ve had a rare morning. I’ m not in the mood to—
-What should he pay?
-How about that briefcase?
-Good idea.
-Give us your briefcase, man.
-I’ m not giving you my goddamn briefcase.
-Motherf*cker, give us your motherf*cking briefcase!
-I was willing to mind my own business. I was willing to respect your territory and treat you like a man. You couldn’t let a man. . .sit here for five minutes to rest
on your precious piece-of-shit hill. Want my briefcase?
I’ll get it for you, all right? You want my briefcase? Here’s my briefcase!
(Stabbing, clubbing etc. Gang members run away.)
-Where are you going? You forgot the briefcase! I’m going home! Clear the path, you motherf*cker! Clear the path! I’m going home!
Yep, that is true.
....Respect is earned. That is no entitlement ya bunch of poser punk peons !
You disrespect yourselves when you support anything illegal.
PC is a myth, is a rule for losers.
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS...
A doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
Someone needs to break it gently to these little angels, RESPECT is earned. Not given siply because they are breathing.
What, you think we wouldn’t recognize it? ;o)
Even then .....it was someone elses problem, not on others door steps yet.
Martin Niemöller had it right........
Support states and cities etc that fight this illegal trash and support legal immigration.
That was a good movie. Odd, strange, and slightly disturbing as it mirrored the real world, but a good movie.
Great movie. Michael Douglas plays a very memorable character.
And these children are, for the most part, sons and daughters of illegals who decided to camp out in the nicer parts of America. And they expect to be subsidized for it, and they expect us to step back for their flag, and they expect us to speak their language or at least make it co-equal with ours, and they expect us to pay for their brats to cause trouble.
All of y'all living in the less attractive parts of the U.S. are Second Class Citizens compared to these folks.
Yep.... agree !
Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet ...........
Once upon a time, there was the idea of America. Peoples from the entire globe dreamed the dream, some fought, some ran, some went through the front door, some went through the back door, but they came because they were tired.
The dream beckoned to them, promising nothing but opportunity and laws that ensured the possibility to become whatever you wanted to be, to do whatever you wanted to, provided you followed the law.
Now, groups of insomniacs are doing everything in their power to make sure your dreams are GIVEN to those that have come to dreamland, but won’t follow the law and refuse to sleep.
The dreamer MUST awaken and take back the dream from those that won’t work hard enough to need the sleep, to realize the dream....
“Respect?
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means..”
Hehehe!!!!
Just watched that movie with the family a couple of nights ago. One of my all time favorites.
I’m so sorry that you had to live through that. I know you must have loved your homeland and still do. It’s a beautiful country and the Cuban people are hard workers and such nice, friendly people. I pray that one day Cuba will again be a free country.
