Really? Huge portions of the US celebrate this "cultural" holiday? Can you provide some sources please and clarify what you mean.
Do you mean thousands of white college kids getting drunk off Coronas and puking up tacos as celebrating or Mexicans/ Mexican-Americans celebrating their "independence" day? Huge meaning a majority? Do Mexicans constitute a majority of the US?
The school is most definitely at fault for applying a double-standard. If you allow some students to display the flag then you have to allow all students to do the same. It's consistent.
However, it is rather strange to me that Americans (hyphenated or not) would want to celebrate the independence of another country (unless they are foreign students).
No single group should get preferential treatment over another in the context of race, ethnicity etc.
The knife case is rather strange as well. I would assume someone would protest that and get to the bottom of it.
