Hm, against code...and not to mention rather corny.
I should probably add that I'm suspicious about the motives of the kids in the U.S. flag gear. Given the size of the Mexican-American population in the school, they probably knew damn well it was Cinco de Mayo, as I'm sure there was a bit of a lead-up and anticipation of the observance at the school.
That said, I don't see this kind of action---if it was indeed intentional---as patriotic. I see it as jingoistic, which in itself is disgraceful to the flag.
