I’m positive that if they had been waving Mexican flags and chanting “Reconquista” there would be no “teachable moment.”
CA is just fucking LOST. Let’s try and remember there was actually a Ho Chi Mihn Park during the Vietnam War, now called Willard Park.
Willard/ Ho Chi Minh Park
2730 Hillegass Ave., Berkeley, CA, 94705
So in areas with large white communities do the hispanic kids need to watch themselves and not fly their flags or exhibit any kind of latin based nationalism? Should black kids in Utah have to watch their black pride stuff or risk it being branded as “racially overtoned” and “provocative”?
Also bandanas do NOT violate the flag code. They never were a flag. They are a US flag motif bandana.
Whats funny about Georgia boy he agrees the kids are racist and thinks wearing a star stripe bandana is bad and they are bad for that ? And tries to mention the flag code which is obvious he does not understand
So doubling down on bad racist American hating kids who disrespect our flag is what he is trying to say !
Just the fact he said these two things together really shows me how radical progressives are infiltrating into groups to try to act like they are part of it but the true beliefs come out
Seems this has happened more and more here on this forum with people not standing up for our country but willing to throw it under them and their progressive beliefs and then try to make it seem they are the good guys
Truth is like the gov I truly feel quite a few of the folks on here are true progressives !
Just takes threads like this to truly bring them out !
And while we are discussing CA schools with large hispanic populations, let’s not forget the moment when they decided to fly the US flag upside down and BELOW the Mexican flag. And of course there were no “teachable moments” required for that incident. And only ONE student was actually punished, although nobody ever stated what that punishment was.

Since the schools are ruled by radical left anti US progressives sure they were smiling watching our flag under the mexican flag and dreaming of the day they totally destroy this country
I find Teddy Roosevelt’s words most inspiring even 90+ years later. Wish this could be a plaque mounted in every school, every courthouse, and every entrance point into the U.S.A.
“In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile…We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
One thing I have noticed is that people tend to get insulted when they say something about their nationality. I was born abroad and one thing I could give 2 shit about is you talking about my country/nationality. As a matter of fact I came to the USA and then took an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States and I consider myself to be American. I do actually hate when somebody comes to me and tells me that they are Puerto Rican or Dominican when they were actually born in NY, grow the fuck up and understand that you are an American.
Morale of my story is. I could care less and I rather be a True American.
That is very inspiring, very nice.

From the original story posted:
"Last Wednesday, Camarillo High School administrators ordered students Austin Medeiros, Stefan Valenzuela, and their two friends to remove their American flag bandanas and suspended them after they led fellow students at a basketball game in “USA, USA” chants. Camarillo school officials felt those actions had “racial overtones.”
So am I to believe that these two students who happen to be Hispanic and led the USA chant are racist against Hispanics?
There is no law that says racism has to make sense.

Another “teachable moment”, probably.
Another local article with less hyperbole.
4 students ejected from basketball game
Principal isn’t convinced of teens’ patriotic motives

The ejection of four Adolfo Camarillo High School students from the boys’ basketball game versus Rio Mesa High School last Wednesday at Camarillo sparked a fervor of debate and rumor among students, parents and educators about the ongoing racist undertones in the heated crosstown rivalry.
Just after the national anthem, the four boys led Camarillo’s student section to chant “USA.”
Although the boys argued they were chanting USA and wearing red, white and blue bandannas to be patriotic, Camarillo High’s administrators felt the teens were feigning patriotism to taunt the students at Rio Mesa, which, based on state records, has a much larger percentage of Latino students than ACHS…
Excuse me…but USA is NOT a race!
It is a country!
Then how the hell is it racist to be chanting USA?
…give me a break!

Especially following our national anthem. Sounds like national pride to me!
From the story in the link provided by “kmrtnsn”.
“I don’t think the (Camarillo administrators) should have ever asked the students to leave because it was done in the support of the country,” Bailey said. “If we can say the national anthem and Pledge of Allegiance every day at school, why is this any different?”
There is a high school that sings the National Anthem and recites the Pledge of Allegiance every day? I’m totally and pleasantly surprised. I figured in today’s PC climate, having the students do one or the other or both would be frowned upon by administrators/principals as something that promotes imperialism, capitalism, and militarism. You know we can’t have any of that! :sarcastic:
You can’t fix stupid.
I had a subject that I was booking in one day, he became angry when he noticed on his paperwork that his race was listed as “White”. He said very matter-of-factly; “I am not White, I am Mexican!” I then asked him where he was born, he replied that he was born in Texas. I then had to explain to him that “Mexican” is a nationality and not a race. Then I had to break his heart further when I explained to him that since he was born in Texas that he was in fact an American. I then proceeded to school him on the difference between ethnicity and race to no avail. I’m sure the whole time the only thing going on between his ears was BROWN PRIDE, BROWN PRIDE, BROWN PRIDE.
