Outrageous! California students sent home for wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo

Four boys at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Daniel Galli were3 sent home for wearing T-shirts with the American flag on them, on Cinco de Mayo. So that’s where we are in 2010. Displaying the American flag in the United States on a foreign holiday is now a bad thing. Political correctness run amok.

Black is white. Up is down. In is out. Patriotism is un-American.

NBC Bay Area has the details of this insane story:

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.

So that’s where we are in 2010. Displaying the American flag in the United States on a foreign holiday is now a bad thing.

Political correctness run amok.
