>> “should have to share a lunchroom table with those who wear a hammer and sickle on 4 July,”
In other words, the U.S. sucks according to this jackass.

"Kids who wear American Flag T-shirts on 5 May should have to share a lunchroom table with those who wear a hammer and sickle on 4 July," he tweeted. Idiot.
He would probably approve of the following:

People who want to be Mexican should stay in or move to Mexico.

Like film critic Roger Ebert. He has a solution. "Kids who wear American Flag T-shirts on 5 May should have to share a lunchroom table with those who wear a hammer and sickle on 4 July," he tweeted.
Why would any self-respecting American, wearing the grand red-white-and blue, want to share a lunchroom table with Roger Ebert?

That's what Annicia Nunez, another Live Oak High student, thinks: "We don't deserve to be get disrespected like that. We wouldn't do that on Fourth of July." Of course not. We are not in MEXICO! What an asanine comment.

Sure, if we lived in Soviet Russia. But we don't Ebert.
The issue was that the 5 students were in violation of school policy (which is a violation of the 1st Amendment ala SCOTUS).

What happened a year after the "glorious victory" by the Mexicans...? The opposing French TOOK OVER THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
Most Mexicans DO NOT EVEN KNOW the significance of "Cinqo de Mayo" --to them it's the 5th day in a sequence of days in the month of May --NOTHING MORE.
Same with St. Patricks' Day --mostly not known in Ireland.

Cinco de Mayo is not a holiday in Mexico, nor does it commemorate independence like the Fourth of July. And, they are welcome to wear a Mexican flag tee shirt on the Fourth of July. Although if they prefer Mexico there is an easy way to satisfy that national longing.

Roger Ebert must be suffering the onset of mental disease. What is it with the guy who spent is life watching movies arrogantly commenting on every social issue that comes along? Like he's got all the answers?

the clothing was inappropriate for the holiday
California is sick very very sick and now you know why when schools are run by Reconquista freaks.

So, to this multiculturalist a**hole all flags (and all values) are the same.
What an insipid analogy.

One of the students, Daniel Galli, said school officials told him they could wear their patriotic garb any other day, but "but today is sensitive to Mexican Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today." BS. It is "sensitive" to mexicans with a piss-off for America. They are entitled and welcome to celebrate their diversity all they want...in mexico...

I got no problem with that. I'm sure Ebert has a few hanging in his closet (along with a skeleton or two.)
