American flag T-shirts incendiary in CA school

[OPTIONAL777]

"The area I live in, displaying the Flag isn't done flippantly, it's done with pride most always."

Properly displaying the flag is one thing.

Wearing it printed on a T-Shirt, where you spill food, sweat, throw it in with other dirty clothes, etc. is quite a different story.

Look, it isn't hard to find a hooker wearing a cross around her neck while she is servicing one of her Johns, and I am not saying she doesn't have the right to do that...but come on, that is really showing respect for Jesus?

Quote from Wallet:

That whole post is twisted on so many levels, and another attempt to ignite feelings. How do you know what level of patronage those boys had? The area I live in, displaying the Flag isn't done flippantly, it's done with pride most always.

No disrespect intended to any Hispanic thread viewers, Cinco De Mayo is a great holiday in Mexico , if you want to celebrate it here in the USA, by all means..... but don't expect the citizens of this country to stop showing their respect for the "Stars and Stripes".

I understand what the School was trying to do, but they were wrong on this one.

Guess again Kreskin...

Canada's right though.

I shall refrain from what would be my typical rage rant. Words aren't, and won't be enough to deal with this problem. When will enough be enough? It's a damn shame what's happening to this country.

Continue to believe whatever you like without fact to support it. That's the ET way...

Not for me to question?

Why is that not for me to question?

Probably true. But irrelevent. The school was in the wrong. And now they must suffer the damages.

Anyone who has raised boys knows that there are always three sides to every story. Five boys, eating lunch together, and they all just happen to have American flags on that day. Pffft. You can bet the bank some comments were made in that cafeteria.

Perhaps. But we're talking about t-shirts and that was the reason the students were sent home. Not for racial slurs.

It's a t shirt.

You think you can tell why or why not these kids wore a tshirt?

I don't know which group started the comments, could just as well have been the hispanic kids, but using the t-shirts as a reason was probably just a quick way for the administration to split the kids up.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not against the American flag, not at all. Though, I am old school and personally don't believe it should be worn on clothing. Cheapens it. But that's another thread.
