These little dickheads went to school trying to stir up a hornet's nest and they succeeded. This has nothing to do with nation pride or freedom of speech or being American or Anti-American, it has to do with teenage punks who were trolling and got punished for it.
A guy at my school wore a t-shirt that said "I survived Columbine and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" a couple weeks after that incident. He got sent home. Same scenario.
Twist this into 'GOD BLESS 'MERICA AND OUR FREEDUM OF SPEECH' all you want but that's not what it's about. Sensationalistic journalism is sensationalistic.
"They're upset because they wanted to express their American pride." Bullshit. They wore them on this specific holiday with the INTENT on stirring up shit, not on being patriotic.
