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 theyre proud of their heritage and they believe wearing red, white and blue on Cinco de Mayo is disrespectful.
These are the Anchor babies, all grown up now,on our hard earned taxes. They are so used to getting everything given to them, spoiled rotten with all their entitlements.
These students don’t understand that they are rallying for a political cause, not a social or religious one. This isn’t like Christians in Cuba being denied Christmas, what nearly all other Christians celebrate.
The stories about people not bothering to celebrate Cinco De Mayo in Mexico, only in the US, means that it is a political expression, not a social one.
By rallying so angrily, they also validate it is an expression of political and social dominance. It isn’t “please let us have our party” but “how dare you infidels oppose us!”
We've spent the intervening 162 years listening to them claim legitimate ownership and watching their pathetic efforts to manage a dung heap without resort to civil war.
Isn't it about time we stepped up to remind them of what our respective ancestors did and did not do...before we have to reenact it?
PS: Might start by reminding them that their cinco de mayo victory was the ONLY one during their fight with France and Maximillian, that it was the US that forced the French to leave Maximillion on the lurch (he was executed when he surrendered to the locals) and that mexico was kind of hoping that the South would win the American War of Secession.
(Want a real hoot?
Read up on mexico's "contribution" to allied airpower in WWII.)
That's why I posted the pics incidentally. They have a history of disrespecting our flag and our country. Just keeping them honest.
Hey assholes, this is America, not Mexico. Your parents ran the hell out of Mexico. You want respect? Run back to it.
*&^% them all and the marxists that allow them to stay here.
Well, maybe a few poor souls missed it.
Keep ‘em marching - frog-marched if need be - all the way to the border. They wanna be Mexicans, let ‘em go be real Mexicans, in Mexico.
This is just another example of how important it is to fight illegal immigration, and birthright citizenship. Most, if not all, of these stupid kids are anchor babies. These kids are the reason the patriotic American children were sent home. Everyone is so afraid they'll become violent. Let'em! Illegals, Latinos in particular, have been given this idea that they are important. We have Americans who'll pick produce, just as soon as we end welfare. End it. Americans are done with these ingrates.
Trying to figure out if this is from today:

They’re cursing at and physically attacking an American kid in a wheel chair and taking his American flag shirt, I think.
I like this guy ;-)
