I haven’t heard much news about this. You know what with the media beating the drum against the state of Arizona for protecting it’s borders and limiting the ability of greedy employers and racist liberals from exploit under paid minorities and undercutting American wages....
Let's start with -
"From the halls of Montezuma ...."
they need to be reminded what country they are in..if they love mexico so much as to want to fly their flag then thats where they should be...in the country they feel allegience to. why waste time in USA.
thanks Jim for posting that video on every thread!
Revolution is coming to this country as corporate America, their brought political puppets, their leftwing ideological leaders, and their MSM mouthpieces will eventually be overthrown violently. For any freepers who think they may one day be part of the post Revolution America, take note of all the offenders, make a list of their names. In most post revolutionary periods, the people will ask the government for justice and to address past grievances. Such a list and written record of the offenses will come very handy. Who knows, someone may become an official in the new American regime with power to dispense justice.
WE DEMAND RESPECT YOU F*CKING CRACKERS!

The act of banning the national flag of one’s own country is a sign of surrender. When the flag of your own country is considered “illegal” that shows you that there is surrendering going on without a fight.
In their shoes, I’d have refused to leave. After all, a kid’s got a right to an education. It would have made good copy to be arrested and dragged out of school in handcuffs — or tazed — for wearing a patriotic American emblem. People need to be awakened to what’s going on in schools.
I went to the Morgan Hill(regularly scheduled) Saturday Tea Party demo today which was also in support of the boys. They seemed like clean-cut, well-spoken nice kids.
What is it about Mexicans and so-called Mexican culture that is such a big stinking deal?
On St. Patrick’s day, many, many non-Irish go out and have a good time and “pretend” they are Irish. Or they don’t. Or they eat corned beef and cabbage. Or they don’t. Nobody cares.
On Columbus Day, many, many non-Italians celebrate and go out to Italian restaurants. Or they don’t. Nobody cares.
On Christmas Day, most Jews go out and catch a movie and eat Chinese food, since almost everything is closed. Or, they substitute-work for their Christian friends so their friends can take the day off and be with their families. It’s not a big deal.
But Mexicans, that’s a whole ‘nother story. I would bet you that no more than one out of a hundred Mexicans could tell you that Cinco de Mayo is a very unimportant holiday, or perhaps I should say that C de M celebrates a relatively minor event...a Mexican victory over the French, of all things.
I’m probably a lot less demonstrably patriotic than many on FR, but this irritates me way out of proportion to the topic matter.
all of this hubbub over a ‘holiday’ that isn’t even celebrated in Mexico, unless you’re in Puebla
someone needs to tell these children, that 1) respect is what they are supposed to show to their elders and country and is not theirs to “demand” and, 2) when in America, flags of foreign nations are Always flown lower than the American flag
I think we might be taking the wrong track with this.
Here’s what I mean: Cinco de Mayo is NOT a major Mexican holiday. Look it up if you don’t believe me. It was basically invented by beer companies to sell more Coronas on a date when the weather is usually nice (starts feeling like summer in May, people go out to bars more), so they chose the date of an obscure battle and somehow managed to turn it into a de facto holiday. It’s much, much more popular in the United States than it is in Mexico.
If students want to celebrate American capitalism...great!
(I have a feeling if we start saying things like this to the students who apparently don’t even know their own history and were protesting...the reactions would be pretty hilarious)
As if Hispanic students are so stupid they can’t tell Cinco de Mayo from the Battle of the Alamo! The USA had no dog in Cinco de Mayo.
This is what happens when you cater to non-American groups. If they don’t see the American flag as first then they are in the wrong country. The whole idea of allowing the Mexican flag anytime over the American flag is disgraceful and wrong. As the demonstrations show, it is more about Mexican gangs, overthrow of the US, or just plain ignorance.
School officials ought to know better, but PC reigns!
Like I illuded to before...
How do you earn respect by walkling out of school???
The kids, legal or not, their job is school, plain and simple...
If I were a tax payer in that school district, I would seriousl condsider shorting my taxes to that district this next year by an appropriate amount for the district failing to maintain discipline and keep ing thekids in school...
If they want to protest, do it on your own damn time!!!
Second, those people need to be taught tha the American flag (by law) is never to be flown secondary, or below any other nations flag, or in a manner to disrespect the flag...
Flying it upside down is a lose interpretation, that most of us understand that particular meaning, which I believe is widely misused, but I do respect the individuals intent when I do see that...
Just my opinion...
The illegals are like the Mexican song La Cukaracha, They sneak around inthe darl like cockaroaches and run when the light is shone on them. Well they are getting so plentiful now that they sre refusing to run.
It’s eradication time.
These kids were accused of adding fuel to the fire.
So. The school admits there was a “fire.” So why not deal with those who started the fire, first?
