I've stopped taking part in these thundering herd polls that seem to be little more than a controversial tease to get both sides ramping up the page hit count. IANAS
There is a link to the video “Flag Controversy” at the bottom of the page. Basically a High School in California would not let students wear clothing or display anything with an American Flag on it on Cinco de Mayo although they alowed students to wear and display Mexican Flags. Students who wore clothing with an American Flag were sent home and suspended. There were no threats of violence, but the Mexican students said they were being disrespected by students who showed American flags on the day that honors Mexico.
Why we have to put up with this crap is beyond me. Are going to have American flags banned on Fidel Castros birthday, or Bistille Day? Yesterday I was at the dollar store near my home and they had a bunch of Mexican flag stuff and American flag stuff displayed nearby. The people of hispanic decent who couldn’t speak english shopping along side me didn’t seem to mind. They were chattering away happily and loudly without a care in the world. Why are these school kids being taught that it is alright to be intollerant of American Flags on a Mexican holiday?
