Dear Mr. Rodriguez, are you serious? It’s OK to wear Mexican flags and provoke “La Raza”, however, it’s NOT OK to wear OLD GLORY??

“... Assistant Principal Miguel Rodriguez...”
Uh. Yeah. And that is as far as I can go without having this post pulled.

Calling all ACLU Lawyers! Get involved in this if you are true to your word. You can get the publicity you so desire.

[Notwithstanding]

Call the patriots at the
Thomas More Law Center.

I would NOT have turned the flag inside out and I would NOT have left school. And I WOULD have told the principal to go to hell.

Now you see why we are a dying Nation. Soon to be a nation of slaves. Remember that every sob like Rodriguez was put in his/her place one way or the other by a majority of the voters who voted. In the end, we only have ourselves to blame.

Officials at the school could not be reached for comment, but one student said administrators called the T-shirts "incendiary."

Incendiary, my butt!! What's incendiary is celebrating Cinco de Mayo in a public school in the United States.

Time for a tea party in front of the school!

Bravo, er Hurray for the Live Oak FIVE!

Is that Sean Hannity I hear?

My buddy used to have a Cinco de Mayo party in his back yard every spring.

We are not Mexican it was just an excuse to get sh!tfaced on Tecate and Tequilla.
Nowadays we just celebrate Octoberfest in the woods.

I think the principal would have a better case if he had banned ALL flag flying/wearing at the school. But for him to ban some flags and let other students wear others would make an interesting court case.

[Brilliant]

I wonder how many wore Mexican flags?

[mowowie]

“Simple solution, deport Assistant Principal Miguel Rodriguez”

Yes, Mr. Rodriguez, Can we please see your GREEN CARD?

[TNdandelion]

lol I might have also told the principal to have good luck trying to get federal $chool fund$ from the govt that those red, white and green flags represent! Then, I’d tell him to go to hell. ;)

Tick tock, tick tock...

[GOPJ]

...there are people with painted flags in red, green and white and yet the boys can't wear the American flag

Ummm, might be time to stop the Cinco de Mayo celebrations. It's one thing for us to be inclusive - it's another thing for them to sh-t on us for our fairness... eff 'em.

Boden and Rodriguez need to be fired.

I wonder how many "Che" t-shirts the little brainwashed dolts were wearing. They probably got extra credit from the idiot and the vice idiot.

What in the hell has happened to this country?

One successful battle in a war they ultimately lost.

Any victory over the French carries a big ol' asterisk in the record books anyway.

[VeniVidiVici]

The Mexicans celebrate their victory over the French? What will they do for an encore? Take on the Vatican?
