MORGAN HILL, Calif. -- Heated words were spoken Wednesday night at a packed school board meeting in Morgan Hill as parents railed against administrators in charge of the high school where a controversy over students wearing American flag t-shirts on Cinco de Mayo erupted last week.
Wednesday will mark one week since a Cinco de Mayo incident at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill flared up into a national story when four boys came on campus wearing t-shirts with the American flag and patriotic colors.
From what occurred at a public meeting of the school board Tuesday night, it appeared emotions were still raw.
About 200 people packed the middle school auditorium where the meeting was held to accommodate the larger than normal number of people who attended to vent their feelings.
“Regardless where we came from when we come to this nation, we adopt its culture and what this nation stands for and the flag,” said Morgan Hill resident Lavonne Atnit. “I am personally getting very tired of disrespect to that flag and what this nation stands for.”

Video: Mexican Students Knock U.S. Flag to the Ground
And to think that its self-proclaimed “Mexicans” (not Mexican-Americans, or want-to-be-”American”) like these that the Democrats want to provide a path to American citizenship!
Via StandWithArizona: Mexican Students Knock U.S. Flag to the Ground:
The saga continues in Morgan Hill, CA. Saga continues in Morgan Hill.. Slapping down American flag....”This is occupied Mexico”...”This is all our country...we are all Mexicans”...”We want respect”....”Si Se Puede”... Are these students of Ron Gochez?
Recorded in Morgan Hill, Ca May 9, 2010
More craziness on parade sans the true flag of this country.
No, they are students of Barack Obama, the Community Organizer In Chief.
No more talk... just get this trash out of my country.
What a shame it has to come to this. Starts at the White House Hut.
Next school year, start by checking birth record and residence of every child enrolled.
“We gotta do something,” said District Superintendent Wesley Smith. “Conversations, bring people in to help us. How do we move forward?””
Well, wesley. First things first. For being a gutless pansy you need to be fired. Then things will move forward.
The so called “latino” student needs to be suspended for skipping school, and the asshats who cinfronted those American boys need to be fired then sued.
Never happen. The schools receive state and federal dollars for each student.
Cinco de Mayo is a holiday invented by Corona beer. C’mon folks, this is rediculous. Mexico doesn’t even recognize this holiday. What it is doing is exposing is “Mexican” students ... who are “citizens?” Something is wrong with that!
The article is so poorly written that you can’t tell whether the various comments are from pro-flag or anti-flag speakers.
