so, the school's at fault for anticipating backlash from some small town, white, racists? whereas they would have been better off to succumb to the threat of stupid hatred and not allow mexican students a local holiday on the day of their national holiday (and, incidentally, a cultural holiday that huge portions of US citizens share with them)?
as for flags/no flags debate...when you're dealing with irrational idiots, it's best to limit the things their petty minds might assplode over. similar restrictions against gang attire abound all throughout school districts--with very good reason. we could talk free speech this and that, all important theoretically and in reality, but when it comes to kids killing or maiming kids in the name of, a modicum of rationality would benefit everyone involved or quarterbacking.
and what's this about "seeing" illegals all over the place and in various towns? I wasn't aware of any particular markings or behavior "they" exhibit.
