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...

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...

Another example of Political Correctness corrupting everything it touches.

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.
