Are you and I reading the same story?
It was. They caused an uproar that about "being disrespected and demanding an apology". That didn't come from school officials.
You keep linking to different stories about this issue, so it is hard to keep up, but please don't talk down and talk about spoonfeeding.

Here is the link you posted from BigGovernment.

http://biggovernment.com/gknapp/2010...cinco-de-mayo/

This links to Racial Tension Mounts At South Bay High School - News Story - KTVU San Francisco

with the quote:

Some Mexican-American students KTVU spoke with said they thought wearing red, white and blue on Cinco de Mayo was disrespectful. “It’s just kinda disrespectful that they would do that on this day,” said student Victoria Wright. “I mean, we don’t go around on 4th of July wearing red white and green and saying ‘Viva Mexico,’ because that’s disrespectful.”

However that quote is not in the story. I am just saying...

However this quote is in the story.

Kathleen Sullivan, a Morgan Hill Unified School District board trustee, said Live Oak also experienced problems on Cinco de Mayo last year.
She said some students had complained to the principal and vice principal that they had felt intimidated by students waving American flags.
In response to those complaints, school authorities had asked students not to provoke other students by wearing or waving flags this year, Sullivan said.


Did you read the KTVU story, or only the conservative spin doctors' versions?

Where in the Fox article or KTVU story or BigGovernment story does it say the Hispanic students are demanding an apology?

It is the flag wearing students who are demanding an apology. I am not saying that is wrong, but you keep acting like I am an idiot when it is clear you are not reading your own posts.

The five students -- Daniel Galli, Austin Carvalho, Matt Dariano, Dominic Maciel and Clayton Howard -- were then told they must turn their T-shirts inside-out or be sent home, though it would not be considered a suspension. Rodriguez told the students he did not want any fights to break out between Mexican-American students celebrating their heritage and those wearing American flags.

Dariano's mother, Diana, told FoxNews.com she and parents of the other four students are now demanding an apology from officials and are considering a lawsuit.

"We want an apology," Diana Dariano said Thursday. "Who in the United States of America would have an issue with that? It's a sad, sad day."

Who are you arguing with Clint? No one here said ANYTHING about race.

Only you.

Also since when do people have to prepare to be blindsided about wearing the American flag anytime of the year in America?
See the quote above from the KTVU story.

Again, did you read the original link???

it is more at the state level illegal voting takes its toll. Plus I don't believe what you write for one second with Amnesty back on the table again.

mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm si se puede!
Pardon me for bringing a little levity to what is getting to be an overly heavy thread.

Why would you believe anything I say. How could I possibly say something truthful that doesn't jibe with your world view?
