They're not trying to start a fight. They're just saying this is America and we support our country. Do you think the white kids would punch out a Latino for wearing a Mexican flag on the 4th of July? Someone's got a violence issue here. This is a strange way for these school officials to deal with this

Did they wear their US flag shirts on every other or multiple school days or just on Cinco de Mayo?

I'm not one to wear a flag when not in uniform, but telling Americans that they can't display the American flag in America is very close to where I draw the line for justifiable violence.
We've gone far beyond that point. In today's progressive America, violence is justified against those displaying the American flag, as witnessed by the school disciplining not those who attack other students but those who choose to display the American flag. Thus government legitimizes violence against those displaying the American flag. This is a fairly core position of the party currently in power, and that party is likely to strengthen its control in coming decades, to the point of our becoming a one-party nation.

Humans share 99.9% of our DNA. You share a great deal with everybody.

Hell, we share 99% of our DNA with chimps and bonobos. Are you going to claim their "culture" as well?

Regardless, culture is about far more than genetics, and to say at all of Europe shares a culture is silly.
Well, when I was young I wouldn't have minded embracing my bonobo ancestors' culture. "Hey look, a new girl. I'll just wander over and give her a welcoming screw . . ."

As a quintessential American I'm a mutt, but my immediate ancestors are English and Irish. So I suppose my common ancestry involves one side of the family fighting trying to kill the other.

careful, bonobos are an extremely matriarchal social structure. It is the females that chose whichever males get screwed. More often than not, though, they're as libel to bite off your tip than allowing a dip.

There are many reasons they aren't often displayed in zoos.

Ouch! Did not know about the biting, to which I am not fundamentally rejectionist philosophically but do enforce a strict "no body parts removal" policy. For the rest, the females doing the choosing perfectly fits my years of cattery as I recall it, and I'm fairly sure that if anything I've only gotten smoother in those memories.

There's also another party that likes to wave the flag even when they know it will likely piss off others. Mission accomplished.

And Americans are free to choose whether they want to support American flag waving or American flag banning, but it's undeniable that at the moment, the party of American flag banning is in power.

It will certainly be interesting to see what Democrats make of this country once they no longer have a real threat to their power from Republicans. I don't believe there has ever been a nation where those in power so despise the nation. Will you eventually make of it something of which you can be proud, so that the American flag is no longer a symbol of shame? Subsume it into a global entity so that its uniqueness can be forgotten entirely? Break it into pieces as per Gore's "From one, many" speech, so that the pieces are too small to threaten the world? Turn it into the Marxist utopia you failed to get through revolution? What IS the proggie game plan here?

Yea, but mostly the Mexican students:

Not condoning violence, but this seems like it all started with the white kids wearing shirts with the American flag on it to troll the Mexican students.

Let's not pretend here that the white kids are always the victims in these cases. I agree that the "left" does sometimes often try to make it seem like whites are the "villains" in situations like this, but the right does it too, though they usually make it seem like minorities are the "villains".

Personally, I believe the white and Mexican students probably for the most part get along fine. It seems like a few hotheaded idiots on both sides were looking for trouble, and they found it.

The schools I went to were pretty mixed, and everyone got along well for the most part. I don't remember any type of racial tension. I believe the younger generation gets a long better together and look past race more so than the older generation.

I don't know but you should be very, very scared! The proggies are coming! The proggies are coming! And they want to destroy this country!

I hope the internet is an outlet for your deepest darkest thoughts because I can't imagine how you would interact with society with such a deranged mentality.


Boo!

Dude, the proggies are here, and likely to be the dominant force controlling American culture. You guys have won, the downside to that being you can no longer scare me by threatening to appear. It only remains to see how your side will "fundamentally transform" America, to use Barrack Hussein Obama's own words. I've seen part of it - I lose my health insurance end of June, and looks like most of my discretionary income will go toward replacing it - but the end game's not yet in sight. Surely Barry has a plan that will make Michelle proud of this nation two or three days a week, not just when we elect her husband President.

BTW, I'm guessing that woman was facing the very small chance that she might have to pay for her own birth control. Or college. Or daycare. Or, well, anything.

Lol on the double down on stupidity!
