They wore the flag with pride the same way skinheads wear what they wear with pride... with negative intentions. The potential for serious trouble that the prank presented is what was at issue with the administrators, not the flag itself. Are you not smarter than kids? Do you not know what they were trying to do? According to you, no intelligent human being could have come to the determination that they were looking to start trouble or for a fight? Maybe if you were around high school kids all day every day like these administrators are, you would have a better sense for how kids misbehave and what could happen as a result of such a seemingly harmless (to you) prank. You're the expert though right, not them?

I know, i know... I'm wrong right... it's more likely that the administrators hate the flag and hate America and love Mexicans and censorship so much and that all white people are losing their rights in this country. The administrators weren't at all worried about keeping the peace right, they just wanted to keep the white man down. Poor disenfranchised Caucasian angel children can't even be obnoxious, disrespect other peoples cultural observance days and use the flag to stir up trouble anymore, what has this country come to right? Wrong!

Remember, it's a small town public high school where kids misbehave and where order needs to be maintained (spoken like a true fascist right... blah blah blah), not your front lawn. The administrators did the only thing that they could do to prevent further incident. Four bad apples were about to spoil the bunch. I must say though, clever prank by these kids. They wanted to stir up shit and they succeeded. They ended up stirring up confusion and making adults look like idiots in the process.
