Students punished for wearing American flags on Cinco de Mayo

Five students at a California high school were forced to leave school and then face disciplinary action yesterday for the crime of wearing clothing printed with American flag designs.

If you’re wondering how being patriotic could possibly merit punishment, it’s because the kids displayed the American flags on May 5. And as everyone knows, American flags are absolutely verboten on May 5.

Right? Doesn’t anybody remember that rule? Anybody? Bueller?

"Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day,[9] the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico.[10]"

"It is celebrated primarily in the state of Puebla and in the United States.[4""

They probably don’t even know what Cinco De Major represents. It is NOT the Mexican Independence Day which is in September. It is the day the French Army in Mexico surrendered to the forces of Pancho Villa.

I’m Jewish, and I intend to wear an American flag on Israeli independence day.

This story is outrageous.

It is ridiculous. Of course those people in charge probably said “Well Eve could have eaten any fruit she wanted except the apple”. The leadership will probably say, “They can wear the flag shirts any day but one”...they chose the wrong day.

It wasn’t Pancho Villa, it was Benito Juarez.

This joke of a holiday is making a joke out of mush-headed liberals.

Wasn’t Benito Juarez the Muslim that slept with Mohamed after he promised King Faisal he would be a faithful concubine to only Faisal?

The reasoning of your adversary is irrelevant.

Go out and create a tee-shirt with a Texas flag on front with the words “Remember San Jacinto” on back with a picture of General Santa Anna on his knees before General Sam Houston below it.

And make sure you sell a lot of them in April 2011.

As my brother said

“Celebrating a military victory over France is like bragging about getting laid in a whore house.”

Even back then Mexico was a deadbeat, France sent their army because Mexico stopped making any payments of their foreign debt.

This is like celebrating for a hundred years the time they sent a debt collector to your house and you KICKED his BUTT! Good job, something to really be proud of!
