If a race riot broke out, the principal would probably have been fired.

These kids didn’t just wear an American flag tshirt. They were wearing tshirts, shorts and shoes with flags or red, white and blue. It was a deliberate attempt to poke a stick in the eye of the kids celebrating another country’s national holiday. That much is obvious. And after listening to the parents become so irate (it’s only clothing for goodness sake), it’s clear to me who was behind it.

Why do they chose May 5 to wear it? Do they wear this every day?
The principal did the right thing, but no decision would be a winner here. He was going to have to piss someone off.

So? If you are going to sanction students for wearing American themed clothing…then you are going to have to sanction the numerous students wearing red, white and green that day as well. Are they not also trying to provoke a reaction by your logic?
