Student Suspended For Removing Mexican Flag

[tvolsfan]

So we should just stop teaching foreign language or world history and teach nothing but American history?

They were flying the flag to recognize Cinco de Mayo. Not proclaiming to be a Mexican funded or ran school.

They don't fly the flags of every other countries major holidays. The fact that they're singling this out as somehow more important is crap.

it's not like their fighting a war against us. It's a FLAG... in the scheme of things, it hurts nobody unless they want it to hurt them.

I definitely don't see anyone hanging a flag on government owned property in that picture.

No.
You are reaching into extremes to prove your point.

The school took a stance. There are students and parents that do not agree. The school should have stayed out of it.

Maybe it's because it's in Texas. The state with one of the highest number of Mexican-Americans in it.

 

[tvolsfan]

but it's a parade, on American streets. No difference whatsoever

The difference is it's no endorsement of Ireland. It's not even a celebration o Irish culture.

Brilliant logic. I guess schools in other states should fly the flag of the European Union.

Knoxville. Why?

People CARRYING flags are no different than someone walking on the street with a british flag shirt on - which isn't an issue.

you can't be serious???? So when a mexican flag is raised is an endorsement of mexico, but somehow when an Irish flag is raided, it's not???

explain that one to me.

an irishman, with an american mayor by his side, raised an Irish flag on public soil. Where was your outcry???

So they should have just not punished the kid for not obeying the rules. Maybe they should have given him an award for showing those wetbacks what he thinks of them...

fourth picture down.. in a US city another flag was raised. Oh, the horror. That hurts my feelings. I don't know why, other than I'm an American.

I'm sorry that I don't feel like reading 100+ posts of national elitist bull.

There is nothing wrong with being tolerable of people's culture. Just as long as they don't force it upon you. Sort of like the way Americans do to people...

I'm sorry if I don't care to prevent you from sounding like an idiot because you're a slow reader or lazy.

The municipality owns the street, so stop that silliness.

just a theory, that people that live in cities tend to be more tolerant of other people's way of doing things since they're exposed to it on a more regular basis.

Yes, I am lazy because I don't have the patience to read every post on this message board.

I'm sorry I have better sh** to do than that.

I don't see how I sounded like an idiot.
