In Reply to: So, you agree about the kids, then. posted by Enophile on May 10, 2010 at 08:21:15:
I'm not upset with either. I do not agree with the action of the school. It is not for them to decide what the intent of the kids was. The school had no rule prohibiting wearing clothing with flags.
Do the schools teach the meaning of Cinco de Mayo? I shudder to think what the public schools teach for Civics these days.
