The Asst. Principal isn’t white, so the Civil Rights Act protects him, unlike the white, American flag shirted students.

Liberalism has been the root of all the evils that have worked toward destroying America for over half a century (or perhaps for a whole century). My question is....do they really outnumber us? If not, why the HELL are they seemingly winning?????

Wake the hell up, people. We’re in a fight for our very lives now. This is what decades of complacency and apathy has gotten us. Getting along to get along ala RINOs has screwed the pooch for us all. We are now in a full-out war with the “enemy within”. If we lose this one, America as a free nation is doomed for generations to come, if not forever.

It’s time to turn this around (actually, it’s past time). It’s time to take a stand NOW....before it’s too damned late.

Mexican Holiday

I was in Mexico 25 years ago on the 5th of May and no one there knew what I was talking about. WE invented it to fill bars and sell beer.

It’s time for the citizens of Texas to remember the Alamo
It’s time to hoist the Lone star flag as a battle flag. The staff at the school should be tried for treason.

Fire the darn principal. Kids should sue the districts pants off...but they’ll never win...they’re white americans.

Actually a couple of the original 5 were part mexican. You're right about the American part though, all 5 are 100% American.

A mexican principal showing his loyality to Mexico by oppressing the Americans in American on behalf of his foreign pride. I think I have that right. Rubio, (R Mexico) would understand.

There is actually a California state law passed after 911 which guarantees that any individual in the state of California cannot be prohibited from flying the U.S. flag. It was passed because apartments and home associations were meddling with patriotic displays. One of the few decent things Gray Davis did in office. Assuming this includes shirts. Sad that we had to have a law for our own flag and constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, but cases like this are an example of why. What poor leadership from that principal. NEA - Teachers union communism? Plenty of U.S. flags flying around Fresno/ Clovis and a lot of them are on Hispanic homes.

Are you allowed to wear an American flag t-shirt on St. Patrick’s Day?

But it was a Vice Principal who did it(started the fiasco), not the Principal. It’s the Vice Principal who needs to apologize and then resign without any severance pay.

I was just going to post this. Cinco de Mayo as a "holiday" was started totally as a bar event designed to sell Mexican beer.

Good Lord, don't wear an American flag t-shirt on St. Patrick's Day, Guy Fawkes Day, or, especially, Jamhuri Day.

Need I add a /s button?
