Probably looking to head of a civil rights lawsuit
A California high school principal has apologized for telling five students they couldn’t wear U.S. flag shirts on Cinco de Mayo, the local superintendent said Friday.
Tensions at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill had risen in the wake of the decision to forbid the shirts, as the students who wore the shirts defended their right to show their patriotism — even on a Mexican holiday — while a large group of Hispanic students staged a walkout Thursday in protest.
“This has certainly been a very difficult time for our school district,” Superintendent Wesley Smith said in prepared remarks delivered Friday at a news conference.
A difficult time that you yourself caused, Superintendent Smith. You could have saved yourself quite a bit of grief if you had realized that this is America, not Mexico.
More than 200 Hispanic students reportedly skipped class on Thursday and marched to school district headquarters while chanting “we want respect” and “si se puede” — “yes we can,” the Morgan Hill Times reported.
Every single one of them should be punished according to the rules for skipping school. And, if you want respect, try earning it. And learning English.
Another Fox story shows that the school had to have more police officers present, due to unhinged America haters.
