Students sent home over American flag clothing

To drink cerveza!

 

Is it really that far of a leap to think that a kid who choose to wear a shirt with American flags to school in San Jose on cinco de mayo would know that it would create tension at school.

And the old saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree . . . I love the parent's response. They don't go to school administration and talk it out, they decide to call the media and put their kid out their as some victim. Great way for a parent to handle the situation . . . fuck the school take it to the media.

(Call me old fashion, but if it had been my kid kicked out of school by admistration, I would slapped him upside his head and either call him an idiot for not realizing what he was doing or an idiot for realizing what he was doing . . . and then make him apologize to the school adminsitration)

 

I am going to admit that I exaggerated heavily. Sometimes it's hard to transition from talking to my dumbass friends and adults on a message board. So, I apologize for the exaggeration, but I still say it is stupid and hypocritical.

I think it is hypocritical because he talks about wanting freedom to wear American flag stuff, but thinks people who don't support the American government should "get the fuck out." What's worse is he says this is "above all else." Hmmm...

 

Repped!

 

Arrogant? To evaluate the facts and draw the inference that he was doing it to cause trouble?

When someone puts an item in their pocket and walks out of a store without paying, we don't know why but I think it is safe to give the opinion that he is stealing without being called arrogant.

In this case, it was cinco de mayo and it was a school with a high population of hispanics (again not being arrogant but believing so because of the area) . . . one can easily make an opinion that he is doing it to antagonize the school (maybe's it's wrong) but it's not like pulling it out of thin air.

Our differences on this issue seem pretty clear going through the thread (not saying either is right) . . . I fall strongly on the side to trust school administration and let them govern their campus. You are more of watching and policing the school conduct and making sure they are acting appropriately (trying to give your side without a negative twist).

I think the view of policing the schools add politcs to their decision making as they are always worries how their decisions will be interpreted by the media . . . but I get that people feel schools need to be called out on stuff like this. My first post was understanding this decision by the school would upset people. A much easier way out was for the AP to take no action. I wonder if he knew it would turn to this if he would do it again?

 

Just think how offended students would have been if these kids were allowed to wear red and yellow...

One thing I feel sure about after reading all this . . . I wouldn't want my kid going to that school.

I'm guessing we all can agree on this.

 

Uh...yeah...whatever....

then it shouldn't even matter if kids wore an american flag shirt to school, should it? That is what is truly laughable about this...

I think the true crime here is people are still making American flag clothing. American flag clothing is some of the ugliest clothing around!
