Clint, how many times do I have to say that this is not right? I don't agree with the decisions this school made, and I don't agree that the freedom to wear t-shirts that have American flags on them should be banned.

I will not apologize for not allowing you to paint me into the Paint-By-Numbers liberal tree-hugger you want to think I am.

If you want to get into the minutia of the definitions of an administrative request and an administrative rule that's fine. You can call your lawyer, but I am not going to pay for one. The boys knew that they were requested not to wear the American flag that day. As I have said, that is not right, but lets not pretend they weren't making a political statement and they didn't know what would happen.

For the last time: THAT IS NOT RIGHT. I am just talking about total exposure.

I am not defending crap. I am defending full exposure.

The "grep" of the quote takes me back to your original link. You say the quote is in the video.

It is not.

"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.”"

This quote is not in the video in any way, shape or form.

Clint, I am not in this to call you a liar. Politically I am trying to AGREE WITH YOU. This is WRONG. But you aren't allowing me to do that.

I know how you attack when I disagree with you, but I am trying to agree with you on this one, but you are making it damn hard. I can't agree with quotes that don't exist. I have seen the video twice now, and it isn't in there.

Help me out here.
