I'm disappointed that so few of you can not tell that these kids are douchebags (although it shouldn't be surprising give ATS members often underlying racist attitudes). I mean, it's as clear as day from watching that Fox video. Here you have a small group of white guys who, just to be dicks, think "let's wear t shirts with American flags on them. That'll show those Mexicans!". It's not like some lone, innocent kid is being picked on by the school for wearing a shirt that just happened to have an American flag on it. These kids were doing it in hopes of pissing people off. They get their similarly like minded parents to defend them (probably "hard workin' Americans" who are afraid of anyone not like them). It's just typical American Patriotism bulls#it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't all immigrants, upon naturalisation have to swear allegiance to the flag in the US?
I beggers belief that if they have sworn allegiance to something that they could find it offensive.
PC BS gone mad!
Who said all these students were legal and have gone through the naturalization process?
They seem, after all, seem to feel like they are "mexicans" first ...
Oh and from the article:
But to many Mexican-American students at Live Oak, this was a big deal. They say they were offended by the five boys and others for wearing American colors on a Mexican holiday.
Get over yourselves!
This is how you know how wrong this is. Reverse the countries and what would happen to Americans students in mexico that claimed to be offended by mexicans there wearing the mexican flag (in mexico) on the 4th of July.

I can, and quite easily. School is for learning, not to put out any sort of political statement.
AND WE CANT FLY OUR NATIONAL FLAG??!! BECAUSE WE HURT SOME TEENAGERS FEELINGS?
Teenagers only get to be teenagers once. They should be enjoying probably the only "freedom" they will ever get, before they are in the system droning away like all of their parents.
why? does that sound right to you??
These kids were out, in my opinion to cause trouble. If you think they are so patriotic, how many of them are is ROTC programs? They probably brought the opinions of their parents to school, and nothing more. How many of them are looking towards military enlistment and careers?
Quit trying to make this out to be a political issue, when it was in a school, where children are there, to learn.
I'm sure the school still had the American flag hanging out front, and in some of the classrooms.
Let kids be kids, without this crappola! Soon enough, they will all be in the system, for real!

It's a symbol of what America stands for and what built her. Diversity and acceptance builds nations.
Fact is, these people should be out of our school systmes. This sort of thing is just one example of the systematic failing of not only our school system, but society in general.
You want to kick Americans out of American schools?

I don't get it....
All I'm hearing is that they love Mexico, it's so great, it's something that needs to be celebrated.........
Why are you here?
I mean, if your going to fly the flag, threaten Americans with violence just so they respect Mexico and think it's better than America, why are you here?
Just like people who say I'm proud to be considered an African-American... then I flip on the news and see the tyranny and trash of the continent, and think "huh, I wouldn't want that associated with me!" I'm proud to be from a place riddled with gang rape and aids......? (even if your really not from there....?)
