It looks like everyone has an opinion about the Live Oak High School students being sent home for displaying the American Flag. Even America’s most famous failed screenwriter. According to The Los Angeles Times Roger Ebert has weighed in on the matter and had this to say in a recent Twitter posting:
“Kids who wear American Flag T-shirts on 5 May should have to share a lunchroom table with those who wear a hammer and sickle on 4 July.”
We don’t know how long it has been since Mr. Ebert was in school but nowadays they tend to let out for national holidays like the Fourth of July. Especially when they fall in the middle of summer.
Of course, that sort of slavish devotion to reason might be a little much to expect from a little man who so vehemently opposes the “fascism” attributed to fictional character Dirty Harry, but lauds the real life variety embodied by Asst. Principal Miguel Rodriguez.

I feel bad for him because he is sick or was sick whatever, but he is a moron.
I don't care if people wear communists colors on July 4th that is their problem, it is a reflection of who they are not on who I am.
You know hispanics who are not Mexican should be angry that a Mexican "holiday" has taken so much prevalence in this country where the other true holidays of independence from Spain, Portugal or France (or whatever) arent even talked about or considered. It is amazing this whole thing just because some people do not understand that this is the USA not Mejico and everyone has the right to wear what they want no matter what day it is.
Oh My! Another loony Hollywood liberal who doesn't like the U.S.A. That bumps up the average to 99%! I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!
Yea, he doesn't care what he say's so he disrespects Americans, I could give a s--t that he's dying, fk him.
Poor old Roger is over, he knows it, & at this point of what's left of his life, he does'nt care what he says anymore.
This comes from a guy who liked "Ishtar". Nuff said. He has as much credibility as Rosie Freakin' O'Donnell. What's the latest from Gene Shalit on the matter? Who gives a crap. This is non-news, but yet it gets airtime because it helps MSNBC's cause. Hmmm.
What an idiot. He's suggesting that America is Mexico's enemy just as the USSR was America's.
What differance is it if they wear a hammer and sickel on a t shirt , they also wear it in their heart and mind , at least wearing the t shirt , we can judge the book , by the cover
What I meant to say was, What makes "famous" people think we care about their opinion?
I'm pretty sure no one would really care if someone wore a hammer and sickle on the 4th of July....that's the beauty of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, home of the FREE. What a moron, what's makes "famous" people think we really care about their opinion?
I say we give Ebert to Michael Moore and let him eat him .....
