    Just out of curiosity, would a kid be sent home for wearing a Mexican flag on the 4th of July? It's been bantered about back and forth, but I hadn't seen anyone ask this question, so I figured I would...

    I could see it yeah if the (alleged) reason they wore it was to incite anger.

    of course it would cause an even bigger uproar which IMO is a double standard and dont agree with.

    That's what I'm wondering.... if they would have the balls to do it.

    yeah good point.. and that isnt fair IMO. In a fair world without having to fear so much for political correctness... it would be the same both ways.

    All I know is that I'm glad that the Chinese make our US Flags instead of Mexicans.

    You're assuming they're from Mexico. What if it's a white kid who enjoys watching the Mexican soccer team in the World Cup?
