Cinco de Mayo Vs. the American

Posted by Benjamin On May - 7 - 2010

Cinco de Mayo usually means I’ll go to lunch for taco’s, a burrito, maybe even an enchilada. But if you’re a kid attending a predominately Hispanic public school whilst donning your favorite American flag tshirt, hi-top shoes, or bandanna on Cinco de Mayo, you’ll be sent home. The message, it’s okay to wear patriotic gear, just not on Cinco de Mayo.

Ponder this with me.

By law, every public school must have an American flag flying outside the building. I wonder, did they also take down that flag as the flag wearing students walked to their parents cars?
