Yet during all the Arizona protests, Ole Glory's colors could be seen in many students hands.

Only for 'show'...
A few years ago when they had the pro-Amnesty rallies the marches were draped in a sea of foreign (Mexico) flags.
During the interview, one of the pro-Cinco del Mayo students was complaining how the students who were displaying the American flag were 'disrespecting' (... by the way - when did disrespect become a verb?) her country's flag... Argghh - to answer the second part of your question - her mindset was definitely that of a foreigner in America - not someone who wanted to be an American...

Multiculturalism at work!

Anyone upset by another student wearing an American flag ought to be sent back to Mexico permanently.

Political tool is my guess. My friend would laugh when May 5th came. Basically, he said it was just
another excuse to drink/party and he did not celebrate it.

Kudos! A diplomatic and very effective solution. Thanks for
the reminder to think about what we WANT to happen as well as what we don’t want. We have an obligation to do more than complain. Hats off to you and your wife.

I lived right down the street from Live Oak High School - and my kids would be going there if I hadn’t sold the house and moved our business to Idaho 5 years ago. Lucky me - I would be crazy PO’d should I have a kid going to school with those bozos. I can see me getting stupid and confronting the administrators and looking for a piece of one of them. Not a good picture.

We brought our employees with us when we moved the business. They all are of the same opinion. ‘Pissed off’ falls short of the proper description.

Exactly. Not that I knock any excuse to heft a brew or even celebrate one’s roots(see St. Patrick's Day, Columbus Day, etc.) but to use it as a political hatchet to indoctrinate public school children is despicable...

Another example of Political Correctness corrupting everything it touches.

Exactly. Not that I knock any excuse to heft a brew or celebrate one's historical roots or accomplishments, Holy Days, etc.(see St. Patricks Day, Columbus Day, etc.)I wish to do the same(Southern WASP) but to use it as a political hatchet to indoctrinate public school children is despicable...

Well, to paraphrase a line from "Cool Hand Luke"

' ("she's) gonna get (her) mind right.

Don't need any "... failure to communicate." in our country.
