America: Land of the Free?

Five students at a California high school were forced to leave school and then face disciplinary action yesterday for the crime of wearing clothing printed with American flag designs… According to local TV stations KTVU and NBC Bay Area, this bewildering and deeply unsettling incident happened at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, a suburban town south of San Jose. As KTVU reported, Five students at a South Bay high school stirred up some controversy Wednesday for wearing t-shirts depicting red, white and blue American flags on Cinco de Mayo. School officials at Live Oak High in Morgan Hill told the students they had to go home if they wouldn’t turn the shirts inside out… And the punishment wasn’t an off-the-cuff blunder by some inexperienced teacher; according to NBC, 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, but today is sensitive to Mexican Americans because it’s supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today,” Daniel Galli said.


The first time I heard about this I thought it was a joke. Then I started seeing news articles about it. I'm all like WTF?! Listen... I get that you humans like celebrating Cinco De Mayo because its an excuse to drink on a weekday. It does not represent Mexican American pride! Upon researching the holiday I found that it isn't even celebrated nationwide in Mexico. There is something seriously wrong in this country if you can't wave your country's colors around on any day of the year. You know how when dogs poop on the rug and they get their faces rubbed in it? This principal needs to be scolded and have his face stuffed in his own poop then he should be rolled around in a cat sand box. What a d-bag. I actually have a better idea... On the 4th of July he should be forced to walk around with a turbin, a fake bomb skirt and a t-shirt that says "I HATE AMERICA." Fitting.
