Students sent home over American flag clothing

W.....T.....F is wrong with the people in this country?

 

I could see why this would anger people. If the kid did it just to provoke hispanics or it was causing tension at school, I don't have a problem with what the school did . . . but I could see alot of parents raising hell over this.

 

Wonder if they wear American flag clothing any other days and I wonder if their parents are registered republicans or own guns?

 

Why would it matter if they wore it on other days as well, isn't this America after all? The land of the free?

Wow is all I have to say, where this country has gone, and it's freedoms as well.

 

In environments where there are kids, their needs to be more control, IMO. Decisions have to be made on a daily basis and often the decisions have no real good answers and will piss off someone out there. But wearing a shirt like that on cinco de mayo . . . tough call in my mind.

I'm guessing if the kid wore the shirt today, he won't be sent home.

Should kids be allowed to wear their "colors" at school? Not being smirky, just raising issues along these lines.

 

And I'm saying it doesn't matter what the motivation was. They wore American Flags. That isn't offensive, regardless of what day it happens to be. It is another case of the vocal minority being coddled, babied and having their asses wiped for them.

 

OMG. If their parents own guns, they MUST be terrible people.

 

I still don't see the issue with wearing American flag on shirt on cinco de mayo, isn't this America after all?

 

What if the boy was allowed to remain and a big fight broke out on school grounds? Was it a good decision to allow him to stay wearing the shirt?

Forget politics, this is about the idea of an assistant principal being able to make a decision that is in the best interest of the children. I'm not a huge fan of private schools, but I do like the fact they get to make their own decsions without having to answer to the public. I like hard nose principals that lay down the law . . . but maybe I'm just conservative that way. : )

 

To me it is not an issue of a flag, it is an issue of children safety . . . forget politcs, let the administration make decision that are best for the overall student body.

 

Oh, so you're saying there would have been a fight because they were wearing American flag t-shirts?

 

The best interest of the children does not include coddling, babying, and wiping the ass of the vocal minority.

 

Why not send the kids who they thought would incite violence?

Anyone see a parallel here between how this incident was handled and the whole "they won't want to kill us anymore if we just be nicer to them" approach to dealing with terrorists?

 

Lame. To be fair though, it *was* in San Jose, not the United States.
