But yeah, you shouldn't do crap just to irritate people either. I felt sending them home might have been a bit much. I doubt if any kids would have said much about it.JLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893491413749552746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15300514.post-31602364280009926102010-05-09T17:57:59.362-07:002010-05-09T17:57:59.362-07:00Seriously??

Why are we being so overly sensitive about a holiday where people's (in America) main goal is to see how much alcohol they can imbibe... not to celebrate the 4,000 Mexican soldiers that kicked France out of their country? <br /><br />I would be irritated at the children's attempt if Americans knew/celebrated the real meaning of the day.<br /><br />And for those of you comparing this incident to wearing a KKK outfit or swastika on a day such as MLK day... that falls into the realm of racism against an entire ethnic group. Wearing an American flag to remind people that we are, in fact, in America does not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566777363495158706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15300514.post-28661518415771674892010-05-07T12:24:54.487-07:002010-05-07T12:24:54.487-07:00I heard about that and honestly have mixed emotion...I heard about that and honestly have mixed emotions about it.

This is America!", but they are so blinded by their own patriotism that they fail to see that these kids did this on purpose to try and hurt another group of kids. <br /><br />If they had been wearing swastika t-shirts and offended the Jewish kids, would anyone have minded that they were removed from school that day? These boys were clearly trying to cause a problem, and is sad that they are trying to hide behind the flag in order to garner support and protect themselves from the punishment that they know they should be receiving as a result of their just being flat out a**holes. <br /><br />In my opnion, I am glad they were punished. I don't want kids growing up thinking it is ok, to purposely try and hurt or anger other people. What the heck is happening to this country? Why is no one nice anymore?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10255655849017715694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15300514.post-23283264233669933242010-05-07T10:33:32.295-07:002010-05-07T10:33:32.295-07:00??????wigsfhttp://whatigotsofar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15300514.post-85193585864364795792010-05-07T08:59:38.028-07:002010-05-07T08:59:38.028-07:00Hmm see that's a tough one for me, while yes w...Hmm see that's a tough one for me, while yes wearing the shirts on any given day is not a big deal they were obviously doing it on purpose to incite a reaction. <br /><br />Kinda like if they had worn big pointy white hats....probably not illegal but a really really bad idea!Miss Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861518303557037012noreply@blogger.com
