I can see how, in the administrators eyes, these kids were out to start shit and that doesn't fly on high school campuses in that area. Stuff like that has and does lead to fights, even stabbings and shootings which is exactly why the administrators acted how they did. It's not about patriotism, white v brown or USA vs Mex. Simply a case of putting a stop to the actions of a few, that had the potential to lead to something worse. This news headline could have very well read, "4 kids get killed for wearing red white and blue to school," if the administrators had not acted as they did. Nothing to see here.
