Why would they wear those shirts in Mexico. These kids acted stupidly.

Another reason to get your kids as far away from government education as possible.

Where's the ACLU when you need them?

This is ****** up and I'm officially fed up with this BS. I'm glad that the district said the school was wrong (which is shocking given its California), but this **** is starting to become standard practice. People need to start getting their heads out of their asses and get their **** squared away.

They're too busy attacking Christians for exercising their Constitutional right to freely express their religious beliefs.

Have either of you actually reviewed the ACLU's position on student expression? You might be surprised.

I haven't reviewed the ACLU's position of student expression, why should I, their extremely loud condemnation of what the school did to these kids is deafening.

Today 200 Mexican kids walked out of the school in protest, partly because the 5 kids weren't more harshly punished.

Perhaps it is lost on those who walked out in protest the irony of the situation. They are angered or upset or offended that other kids would wear a shirt with a different flag on it than the Mexican flag they themselves are wearing and want them punished.

What about those kids at the school who are actually citizens of THIS country? What if THEY were offended by those wearing and displaying the Mexican flag?

Double standards are fine for the P.C. liberals. If you dare point it out then you are a (choose your insult - the de facto standard is racist).

I don't know, maybe because it's poor form to criticize people when you don't have a clue what you are talking about. It just makes you look silly.

Tell me, do you like music, Mr. Finch?

I think smn's point is that their actions speak louder than those words.

And your point is?

That there is no basis for criticizing the ACLU on this issue. That they have consistently defended students rights to free expression, regardless of underlying political theme (or even if there isn't one). That you generally don't hear alot about these cases because they are handled on a local level.

Did you hear about the one about how they defended the kid who protested Michelle Obama's visit to his school? I sure didn't. Or the one protecting a student's right to wear a rebel flag on his shirt? How about the one where they fought for a student who wanted to wear an American flag shirt to commemorate 9/11? Somehow I missed those too.

Why would the ACLU need to get involved in this case (though I have no doubt they would represent the students if they do choose to file suit)? The students aren't being punished. The district has already said that the school, not the students, violated district policy. What more needs to be done?

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to deport them.

These children have been taught that only good things happen when playing the race card. It's their right to be Mexican first, American last.
