you know, now that i think about it, the US flag incident on cinco de mayo is an intersting parallel to what happended down in SC when students wore confederate flag tshirts when that whole brew haha pooped up over removing the confederate part of their flag.
what happened? did the students have to remove their confederate tshirts? i forget.
i also can see teh hispanics students side with regards to teh US shirts and bandanas. my gut tells me the guys who wore a us flag bandanas probably only wore those on that day with the purpose of quietly stating they dont agree with open immigration which may (lets face it were talkign about HS kids) provoke some words which could lead to voilence.
with that said, im sure the hispanic portion of the school wasnt just celebrating cinco de mayo but using it as a platform to demand open immigration, which is what they seemingly do with any mexican holiday.
maybe just celebrate the holiday and leave the immigration stuff for another day. if you want to include immigration into your holidays, dont get all butt hurt when people with opposing views quietly and peacefully dissent.
