Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal's office.
"They said we could wear it on any other day," Daniel Galli said, "but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today."

I would have told him to f*ck off and "no, I'm going going to the office or leaving school". I would've made him call the cops to throw me out.

I expect to see NO Mexican flags on Independance Day, it will offend me. From one of the articles I read, yesterday a group of "Mexican-Americans" from the same school organized a walk-out to show their pride. I bet none of them got in any sort of trouble either.
I'm fine with immigrants, but if you are American, then that's it. No waving the Mexican flag all over just because it's your heritage. Be proud of your new heritage. Perhaps I should move to Arizona, it seems they have everything figured out. At least they are doing something about illegal immigration.

im not american, but we kinda have the same thing here in australia

i wouldnt (and dont) give a f*ck if they fly their native flag because of their heritage...in fact i reckon they should - its good to be proud of your country of birth....but dont b*tch and complain about the country your now living in....most of the time you've moved there to get a better life

Heard the school board is investigating it an that they believe the pricapal handled the situation wrong. Funny this cinco de mayo, who the hell would celebrate your country defaulting on a loan then kicking the peolpe you owed money to out of your country. Seems kinda retarded to me but whatever floats your boat.

Yeah. It's a day to boost Corona and Tequila sales, lol. I would have told that principal right where he could stick his thoughts on that one. You don't like it here? Go the f**k back where you came from!
