can't you and these kids give the mexicans their day? they can wear the flag the other 364 days a year. these kids were doing it to either intimidate or marginalize may 5 and though i do not think they should have been sent home, they should have been put on notice for trying to make others feel uncomfortable. or at least do what we had to do, turn our shirt inside out. its all about respect...
They can wear it 365 days a year. This is the USA, not Mexico.

Bottom line...
They're kids. We expect kids to dress like shit because of the fact that kids typically dress like shit.
There was no reason why the kids should have been sent home... and there's no reason why people need to get their urine/feces encrusted Stars and Stripes panties in a twist. It's not a big fucking deal and definately NOT newsworthy... I mean.. the fucking market dropped 1,000 POINTS today!!!! Yeah it rollercoastered back to 350 under. THAT is a big fucking deal, kiddies.
Probably pretty good with most Americans if they are paying attention and care about the current state our country is in bcos an upside down american flag specifies only "...as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property." It doesnt mean any disrespect as which I suspect you obviously intended it to be or were hoping for.

What's your point? That if it was Mexico they wouldn't be allowed to wear tshirts with flags on them? I wasn't aware Mexico had laws against wearing tshirts with flags on them...
And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.
I wonder who these people are that thought it was a good idea to send kids home for wearing a t-shirt with a USA flag on it... I'm not a flag-waving patriotic by any means... but this is just retarded.
Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.
I don't agree with what this principal did. These kids civil rights were violated,bcos you cant tell one group that they cant express their beliefs and tell another group that they can. I also think it was un American, But at the sametime teenagers like to taunt each other,but I listend to an interview of one of the students step fathers and he said "that his son wears patriotc shirts all the time "
No one is telling the latino kids that they shouldn't wear the mexican flag or they shouldn't celebrate and so forth.
We are a very tolerant society when it comes to different beliefs,cultures and ethnicities,and our diversities shouldn't tear us apart.

More than 200 Hispanic students reportedly skipped class on Thursday and marched to school district headquarters while chanting "we want respect" and "si se puedes" -- "yes we can" -- the Morgan Hill Times reported.
"We did this to support the Latino/Hispanic community," Francine Roa, a 2005 Live Oak High School graduate, told the newspaper.
At least six Morgan Hill police vehicles traveled alongside the students, many of whom carried Mexican flags. No arrests were made related to the march, the newspaper reported.
Police have been told to be on alert for gang-related retaliation against the boys, according to Ken Jones, whose stepson, Daniel Galli, was one of the students who refused to turn their T-shirts inside-out when asked by a vice principal on Wednesday.

So because they were carrying Mexican flags, they're potentially gang members?
You must be a masochist - I can't think of any other reason someone would bring a Nerf bat to a gun fight.

The question is...should you be kicked out of school if you wear it? I don't think so.
