Five Morgan Hill students sent home for wearing American flag T-shirts
2:11 PM By Lindsay Bryant
Five male students were asked to leave Live Oak High School this morning because they were wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo. Officials at the school could not be reached for comment, but one student said administrators called the T-shirts "incendiary."
"They said we were starting a fight, we were fuel to the fire," said Matt Dariano, a sophomore.
The five teens were sitting at a table outside during their brunch break around 10:10 a.m. when Assistant Principal Miguel Rodriguez asked two boys to take off their American flag bandannas that they were wearing on their heads. In the same conversation, student Dominic Maciel said, Rodriguez told the group to "walk with him to the office."
Dariano called his mother Diana, who spread the word to the other parents and all arrived soon after to have a conference with Rodriguez and Principal Nick Boden.
Maciel said they were told they must turn their T-shirts inside-out or be sent home. Maciel said they were told it wouldn't be considered a suspension but Rodriguez did not want any fights to break out among Mexican students and the group showing their American pride.
The boys said they thought turning the American flag inside-out was disrespectful, so all went home.
Dariano said Rodriguez indicated to him that while other students were wearing American flags, the group of five was "the easiest target to cause trouble."
"We were not going to start a fight. We wanted to show our pride," Dariano said. "In light of all of this, there are people with painted flags in red, green and white and yet the boys can't wear the American flag," Diana said.
Oh, bull. Next you'll be telling me Kwanzaa isn't real. Oh, wait...

Actually, France took the capital but eventually Mexico kicked the French out.
Still, it is not, and should not be, a US holiday.
Absolutely. You are spot on.
I was so upset reading this news item, I had to open my made in ARIZONA bottle of wine.
“So was anyone wearing the Mexican flag? ... I’d think it would be more “incendiary” to display a national flag in someone else’s country than in the country to which that flag belongs.”
Yup, that is the way in all the places I have lived in or traveled through. There are exceptions, but locals frown when someone displays a national symbol that is not the local one... gee, too logical?

Good luck trying to figure out who gets the $100 fine, who gets the thirty days imprisonment, or who gets both! ;)
i’m getting fed up with this crap,too,including 5thofMay
the real point here is that most schools have a headgear policy and if this school bans headgear then the principal acted appropriately sounds like these little morons are clueless
a no headgear policy is a good thing for high schools and keeps things peaceful
I hope the “wine cup of our wrath” spills over into action. It really is getting to be time.
makes me wanna puke...
You can email Mr. Rodriguez at: Miguel.Rodriguez@mhu.k12.ca.us
Remind him in whose country he lives in.
More America Hate from within the Obama-Nation...
Yep. No doubt.
Remember, our “President”, Barack Hussein Obama, MMM MMM MMM, hates that flag. He hates it so much that he sat in the pews of Rev Wright listening to Hate American speeches for 20 years. Obama hates the flag so much that he associated himself with William Ayers.
The Principal would probably get a “diversity” award from Obama for his/her actions.
Just watched the vid - UNBELIEVABLE!!! Sent it to my brother who lives in Camarillo, Ca - he will flip his lid...need a drink now! Cheers!!!
bttt
Used to live there, too - my question is: how can anyone afford Gilroy and Morgan Hill these days? We are 30 retired Navy and we can’t afford that area even now...so how can the hispanics, unless they are all doctors and hedge fund managers...which they could be, I guess...
Looks like a direct threat to law enforcement in that state...Thats a crime if I am not mistaken...
While you are enjoying your AZ wine, look at the video linked on Post 55 - that will pop your CORK!!!
