FROM FOX NEWS:

EXCERPT:

The irony, said the students, is that they are required to participate in Cinco de Mayo celebrations. One member of the student council pointed out the hypocrisy – and noted that students were not being forced to dress in red, white and blue for “’Merica Day.”

Years ago when we lived in Japan, my wife and I did a Saturday night neighborhood English class as sort of a community service for our neighbors and friends. The most popular event of the year was our July 4th themed party/ class. We had American flag decorated cake, red, white and blue treats brought in by the parents and, of course, a finale where we retired to a local park and shot off fireworks.

Why do you suppose nobody got offended?

It’s amazing isn’t it in the absolute depths these people will go to NOT insult or offend, Muslims, Mexicans, immigrants of any sorts. But it’s just fine and dandy to insult and offend American citizens on our own soil in our own TAX-PAYER funded school systems.

Yeah, I bet “My Country Monday” will turn out to be any country but the US.

I’m glad some Americans are finally waking up to what massive immigration and multiculturalism are doing to us. But is it too late now?

The students and parents who talked to me about this incident have asked to remain anonymous. The parents feared their children might face reprisals from liberal educators.

Educators? Gimme a break. More like union goons... with airs...

And yeah, the parents are right on this one...

The school said it didn’t approve of the slang name “’Merica”

Neither do I. Here’s the rest of the story...

I’m surprised the country has lasted this long, given the indoctrination forced on kids in the public schools.

I hope the students all dress in patriotic colors, anyway. Do some spontaneous Pledge of Allegiance gatherings, if they can find any USA flags in the place.

I challenge those dipstick administrators to explain what May 5th celebrates. Ask any Mexican, Frenchman, Spaniard, or American and no one will know what it is. It is the Paris Hilton of holidays. A holiday for the sake of having a holiday. And a reason to drink beer and tequila. Those administrators are idiots.

Students should take it on their own to celebrate by wearing patriotic clothing and shoving it right back in the teachers’ arrogant liberal faces.

Parents of students in this school, please tell the school to go pound sand.

There is a simple solution to this: Do it anyway without approval and DARE the school to try to punish them.
