I'm getting a little fed-up with this crap and celebrating Cinco de Mayo.

[truthbetold11]

.
So showing pride in America is ...this can NOT be real!

[TaMoDee]

Where’s the ACLU? (Hiding under their desks is my guess!)

[skeeter]

F Cinco de Mayo. One successful battle in a war they ultimately lost.

Hardly something to be proud of.

[TruthConquers]

Ping!!

[SirLurkedalot]

We’re buried in it out here.

I’m not sure wearing American flag t-shirts is in keeping with proper flag etiquette anyway - but that’s a whole different problem than the one involved here.

[Ballygrl]

I have tons of t-shirts with American flags on them and I love wearing them.

Can’t offend the foreigners.... blech

Simple solution, deport Assistant Principal Miguel Rodriguez.

[ASOC]

Morgan Hill?

Is that a Texas town on the border of Mexico?

[Jerrybob]

I would sue that freakin’ school so fast — in federal court — for denying my right to free speech.....

F Cinco de Mayo. One successful battle in a war they ultimately lost.

Hardly something to be proud of.

And the General who won that battle was born in Texas which in 1862 was no longer a part of Mexico.

[Jerrybob]

Along with every member of the school board — by name.

Lunch at 10:10?
I’m barley awake at 10.

These school officials, I hope, will be driven from their cushy jobs soon.

[GeronL]

I think those families have a case.

This should be the #1 News Story in the Country tonight. In a way it's more important than the oil spill, the attempted car-bombing in NY or the meltdown of the Greek economy.

The significance of this cannot be overstated. This is BIG NEWS! But will the moronic MSM carry this story? I doubt it. They are that blind.

And oh by the way, Cinco de Mayo isn't that big a deal in Mexico according to one of my Friends of Mexican descent. (Notice I didn't say Mexican-Americans.)

In the US, Cinco de Mayo is an excuse to get drunk and party. It's kinda like the made up holiday Kwanzaa.

[Notwithstanding]

Civil liberties lawsuit.

If hispanic Student M wears a hispanic flag to school, then patriotic Student P can wear a US flag to school.

Period.

I swear, this crap is way out of hand. I am going to get a “Remember the Alamo” T-shirt made and wear it on March 6th every year for the rest of my life.
