Not to stomp out patriotism, not because they aren't proud Americans, not because they don't respect the flag, not because they like Mexicans more... simple because they recognized that the situation had the potential to escalate.

The insane point is that anyone living here would have a problem with the flag of our country....
So one set of Mexican-American kids wore an American Flag on Cinco De Mayo and this would cause potential problems with other Mexican-American kids????
I don't give a damn what day of the year it is.... How is it your right to control other people by being offended and COMPLAINING to the teacher about someone wearing an American flag???
Either it is an American holiday, in which case, no problem; or it isn't, in which case, please respect our country and our right to be proud of our culture/flag just as we respect your right to celebrate your foreign holiday.
