Ooh, I can't wait to see if anybody'll defend the school's decision.
My god we're becoming a nation of pussies.
Because you're American, you dumb bitch.
from now on - every may 5th I'm flying the Stars and Stripes and playing Kate Smith out my window.
Ace Bandage
The one and only.
How do you reprimand a law or doctrine? :dunno:
I jest, and I agree with the rest of your post too. :hatsoff:
Good call....my typo.:o I suppose since I try to talk principles here so much on these type of issues.
I wear mine! With black mesh fingerless gloves and a kick-ass denim vest!
:1orglaugh I hope you're kicking it with a leather jacket under that vest? Plus a nice pair of tight stone wash jeans.
Yeah, the 90s were so awesome.
That was very offensive indeed! Lol I kid. I had friends who'd wear their countries shirts in my country's independence day, and we'd all just have a laugh at it. What do I care if someone else uses their country's shirt? It just shows that they have pride in their country, and no one can condemn that.
However I do understand that the teachers and the Principle wanted to somehow ensure that there'd be no violent occurrences in that particular day. We can't blame them for that, after all it's their job to keep the peace at school. They just went about it the wrong way.

Good thing I checked this obscured title's thread because I was about to post the same story.
It's complete bullshit!
In fact, they should have came in wearing the France flag!

Lol @ that!
I realize this happened in San Francisco, but this is absolutely ridiculous. I highly doubt any students of other countries of origin (Mexicans and latin Americans included) would ever be made to take off symbols of their national pride, regardless of the day. Now we're giving deference to individuals who feel "disrespected" by symbols of America, in America? Wow.
And correct me if I'm worng here, but I don't even think a majority of Mexicans in Mexico even celebrate the 5th of May, its not Mexican independence day, as most Americans are content to believe. I'm pretty sure that Mexican independence day is sometime in the middle of September, and the 5th of May only represents a small, historically insignificant victory of the Mexican militia over the French in the 1800s in the state of Puebla. I'm pretty positive that the only people outside of the US that celebrate May 5th, are the people of the state of Puebla, and therefore I really can't accede to the concept that May 5th is a "celebration of Mexican heritage" as the story puts it. And now I'm beginning to wonder if the...

...even realize the significance, and the history behind the day?
They wish.

Yeah, the 90s were so awesome.
Button fly stone washed jeans. And a switchblade comb, brutha!
Yeah, the late 80s/early 90s were great. Gone are the days of impressing chicks by doing nunchucks tricks.
I tend to wear extreme Mexican garb on July 4. People LOOOOOOVE it. Everyone is absolutely ready to defend my right to celebrate Mexico on the fourth.
