The vast, vast majority of Mexicans don't give a damn about Cinco de Mayo!! Look it up. In the USA, Cinco de Mayo is kind of like Valentine's Day. A corporate hype job to sell alcohol just like V-day is to sell cards/flowers/chocolate. Maybe the motivation of those kids who wore the American flag shirts was misplaced, but the bottom line is you should NEVER be sent home from school in this country for wearing our flag. Ever. Should the school have lowered the American Flag from their flagposts on May 5th? It would be one thing if some Americans living in Mexico City paraded around in those t-shirts. But this is the US of A. Under no circumstances should our colors be suppressed within our borders for any reason. It's heading down a dangerous path if we sell our own national pride short on our own soil at the expense of a foreign nation. I don't give shit what the event is.
