"When americans celebrate st.Patrick day or columbus day, don't we always see american flags flying right along side irish and italian ones?Why are the mexican americans at live oak high so insulted by the flag of the country that they live in?Do they not consider themselves americans first? Progressives might disagree with carroll.They may argue that the students actions fly in the face of all president obama has done to apologize to the rest of the world for our country. Like this page film critic roger ebert.He has a solution. "Kids who wear american flag t-Shirts on 5 may should have to share a lunchroom table with those who wear a hammer and sickle on 4 july,"He tweeted. Sending the kids home was ridiculous.But hey this is"America"Such a"Free"Country right>?Yeah that a lot of bs that we keep on telling ourselves, we need to worry about better things than kids in american t-Shirts on 5 de mayo! The problem isn that the students wore the american flag for whatever reason on cinco de mayo.The problem is that these students were forwarned about their attire and still chose to come to school with it anyway.When a schools tells you not to come to school in gang colors, you don and the schools has the right to exercise discipline when you defy them.We don bat in eye in those cases, but now everyone is in an uproar.These are students and they broke the rules.They take all the freebies that this country has to offer and then take offense to anything that reminds them that this is the united states of america.Why president obama insists upon kissing the fat posteriors of these ingrates is beyond my comprehension.Citizens)Posturing on the subject of illegal immigration will assure his being a one-Term president?I wonder if mr.Program.The people of the united states are demanding that immigration laws be enforced and that the sovereignty of our nation be upheld. First there are no"Mexican"Americans, just like there are no"African"Americans. JustAmericans, get over it!For those who want to fly their flag above the american flag, i suggest you take you back side and go back to where ever you came from.I would buy him/her an american flag shirt to wear every day of the school year and dare the school board to send true religion kaufen them home.It seems the schools forget who pays their salaries!I would have had the principals head on a plate!And how dare mr.Obama apologize for anyting about the usa. The two reactions to this story-American patriots versus latinos / liberals-Illustrate perfectly the 21st century united states.The country has been and will continue to change beyond all recognition from what most people regard as traditional american.The culture, language, politics and values that foreigners like myself attribute to the united states is, within the space of a couple of generations, being transformed by a demographic revolution.From afar the united states is white picket fences, neat lawns, capitalist and anglicized.No more. Maybe this change has been imposed by the government over the governed without the consent of the people.But in a democracy the power to change, or not to change, lies with the folks and there is now a patently"Progressive"Administration in power.If this transformation of the usa is opposed by most americans, how has it been able to happen? Rip the united states of america. Hola los estados unidos de américa. If you don like someone shirt, congratulations, you have an opinion that you have the right to keep.However, that doesn mean you should make someone remove the shirt.If you don like the rights the citizens have in the usa, then go elsewhere.
