Yeah, I heard about that...UNBELIEVABLE !

As a parent, I would be outraged if my son was sent home or told to change shirts.

[Purplehood]

I would show up at the school to pick up my kid with an identical shirt, even if I had to go shopping for it on the way.

At least the school board disagreed with the Principal and overrode the his decision.

[CodeJockey]

I can't talk about this without breaking the forum rules on profanity, but let me just say that it is an outrage!!!!!

[SQLGeek]

I wonder if they also took the flag down that was probably flying in the front of the school.

Why is this kind of ridiculous behavior by school administrators tolerated?

They probably replaced the American Flag with a mexican flag out of "respect for the other students".

The Mexican flag is probably the ONLY one they ever fly!

again....it's california! enough said.

[DONT TREAD ON ME]

I do not agree with wearing the clothing as it is against the flag code...but then again the flag code is simply that a code it is not law.

I agree with the above I cannot discuss my true feelings on this matter w/o breaking the forum rules.

Last I checked this was still America NOT Mexico. This completely disgusts me.

Only draping or wearing of the flag, not images or emblematic graphics of it, are disallowed.

USC Title 36, Chapter 10 Sec.176:

(d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.

...and you can bet I would wear my America Flag shirt when I visited the principal to let my outrage be known!!

Because good people don't go to the school board meetings and inform the board that either the administrator gets fired from any job in the district, or the school board will see the consequences of their anti-American policies on election day.

Not to change the subject but I am listening to Michael Berry and he had a local story from Klein ISD where some sophomore got suspended from school for taking down a Mexican flag that was flying higher that the American flag at his school. Has anyone heard this?
