Students Kicked Off Campus for Wearing American Flag Tees Freedom of expression or cultural disrespect on Cinco de Mayo? By GEORGE KIRIYAMA On any other day at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Daniel Galli and his four friends would not even be noticed for wearing T-shirts with the American flag. But Cinco de Mayo is not any typical day especially on a campus with a large Mexican American student population. Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal's office. "They said we could wear it on any other day," Daniel Galli said, "but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today." The boys said the administrators called their T-shirts "incendiary" that would lead to fights on campus. ***** Now surely we can all agree that this is going too far. Can't we?

They basicly lost the right to wear peace of clothing.

The school has absolutely no right to do that. If the shirts/bandanas had some hateful messages on it, then I could understand, but having them take off shirts with just the American flag on them and kicking them off campus for it is complete and utterly ridiculous.
