That has zip to do with you telling those holding American flags in protest to surrender to the whims and demands of government. :-)

, due to concerns that such displays of patriotism would inflame racial tensions by offending Mexican students on their holiday.

Its NOT a Mexican holiday. Check it out. If anything its a joint Mexican/American creation.

(CNN) -- If you didn't already know, Cinco de Mayo is a bigger deal in the United States than in Mexico. Here, this unofficial holiday is almost as popular as, oh, St. Patrick's Day -- which means it's unfortunately become a drinking holiday. So much so that it's been nicknamed, Cinco de Drinko and even Gringo de Mayo. Eek. Actually today commemorates Mexico's victory against the French during the Battle of Puebla in 1862, and according to research by UCLA professor David Hayes-Bautista,it isn't a Mexican holiday at all but rather an American one created by Latinos in California during the Civil War.

“This sort of stuff just makes blood shoot from my eyeballs. GO HOME to Messy-co if you want to celebrate independence from Spain.”

Cinco de mayo isn’t even mexican independence day. It is a celebration of a single battle defeating the french at puebla. Nowhere in mexico celebrates it except puebla and maybe the us border towns. Even in puebla, where I am sitting right now this minute it is not that big of a deal. Mexican independence is sept 16

The reaction tweets from the leftist twits are unbelievably vile, I'm really starting to despise these people.

I’d wear a t-shirt commemorating the battle of San Jacinto or maybe Chapultepec. See if any of the amigos gets it.

If “Americans” would hold their students out of school on that day, it’d hit the school district in the pocket book - which is all it cares about anyway.

Then I guess you should contact all those people holding American flags and tell them how stupid they all are and suggest they all just bend over and take it.

Brilliant!

It’s the perfect day to wear a US flag shirt and wave a US flag. I don’t celebrate Stinky Mayonnaise anyway

Thanx for that...but, I really care less the meaning. With all respect.

Just sick and tired of our PC puke leadership shoving this crap down our throats.

So they win back their state after 40 years of being run over by illegals?

Woo-Hoo, Go Cali.

I have not. Let them report to me when conservatives have the governorship and congress of California.

People come out into the streets standing for American nationalism, refusing to bend to leftist run government schools and idiots like you show up mocking them from the sidelines...

You reek.
