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.

Wow, this is unbelievable

"I think they should apologize cause it is a Mexican Heritage Day," Annicia Nunez, a Live Oak High student, said. "We don't deserve to be get disrespected like that. We wouldn't do that on Fourth of July."

As for an apology, the boys and their families say, 'fat chance.'

I wouldn't apologize either, you come into this country for opertunities and expect everyone to bow down to your ways, sorry, doesn't work that way, it's called FREEDOM OF SPEACH PEOPLE, I understand it's a holiday, but come on, it's the flag of the country you currently live in, show some pride and respect for the country

In HS I had to turn my Metallica Metal Up Your Ass and GnR rape scene t-shirts inside out when VP Backus caught up to me

perhaps "They could kiss my ass." Would be better?

[Ladywriter 7,783]

I can think of a few places I'd like to carpet bomb

Wow. I could understand if the shirts were racist to mexicans or something, but its just the american flag.

DX, that video was great. X'D

i could understand if it was Confederate states flag ... but this is stupid

if Mexicans feel disrespected, they need to remember that The USA doesnt include Mexico, so if someone in the US wants to wear a USA flag, i think they have a god given right to
