61% of CNN poll outraged a classroom of 84% Mexican students displayed a Mexican flag
 

In Denver CO. The classroom also displayed an American flag. Is this really outrageous? I could see if the class only had a couple or few Mexican students who were insisting, but the school in question is over half Mexican students and the non-Mexican students themselves apparently had no problem with it.

The school received threats from callers who said they would force their way into the school and rip the flags down themselves. That should be the real outrage... community members threatening to endanger kids in schools.

Denver school will replace Mexican flags

True colors shine through at North

Schools are on front line of social change

as long as they had the american flag, what is the big deal?

are we not allowed to be proud of our heritage now?

they sell "Mexican Pride" merch all over here. Funny shit.

Even "Mexican Flag Car Fresheners"

nothing better than a jesus loving mexican buying the "National Pride" air freshener with jesus head on it for his ride man. .99 cents you cant go wrong.

i like the trees myself.

"strawberry"

Well, we ARE becoming the United States Of Mexico...

We had a rainbow flag next to all of our American flags. It was fantastic. It made me feel so liberated and closer to my true inner self.

Mexican Pride Month = Proud of your heritage

Asian Pride Month = Proud of your heritage

Black Pride Month = Proud of your heritage

White Pride Month = Makes me a racist mother fucker... What's wrong with that picture????

if the INS visited the school one day that number would be reduced from 84% to about 2%

All flags should be destroyed.

Only the simple minded need symbols.

yeah, that is the one thing that is fucking moronic...always has bugged me

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I don't get what the problem is...

Its not like there displaying the Communist Sickle and Hammer or the Swatztika :helpme

considering most of the students in the class are probably mexican, this shouldnt even be an issue.

Are they Mexicans or Americans?

If their heritage is Mexican, good for them they can be as proud as they want and as Mexican as they want to be at home, or in a privately funded school.

But if they are citizens of the USA, learning in an American Government funded classroom, in the USA, then fly only the American flag.

Mexico doesn't pay to put their asses in that classroom.

What ever gave you the idea that anyone needs symbols...inculding the simple minded?

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh Soon everyone will speak spanish

Are you joking? You Americans would be like lost sheep without your flag.

:thumbsup

If I had kids, I would want them to go to school to be educated, not to have patriotism shoved down their throat.

Take down the flags from the classroom and replace them with maps of the world or something that resembles education.

Man dont let them visit miami..

You can not find a US flag among all the Cuban flags!

this is america

We need a "we are all one" flag Anyone seen Genki Sudos flag?

:thumbsup

:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

BRISK:

HELL YEAH! :thumbsup

Instead of "pledges of allegiance" stand in front of the fucking map and learn *some* geography and realise there is more to the world than a lump of "un-united states".

No.. India is not in the Caribbean - and, no - you don't own it :1orglaugh



PS... Didn't the Third Reich do this shit with the "Hitler Youth"? :-)

My dad's friend owns the patent to hanging car air fresheners.. :)

You can thank NOFEAR the KKK and any other group of racists for cementing in the minds of the world that white pride = racism.

They pay taxes..

Matt

I doubt it.

Mandating patriotism is a really scary thing. It leads to nationalism and ultimately, to fascism

OK! Try this shit in reverse!

There is a school where I am in Latin America. It is a fee-paying school for expat children from loads of countries and also for local children.

This school for some strange reason flies the US flag. Who gives a shit? :-)

The problem is parents are removing their kids because they have no desire to come here from other countries and have some "US culture" stuffed down their throats.

The kids can't even learn decent Spanish and have no hope of mixing and getting any clue of a culture - which far exceeds any "culture" in the US.

Can you imagine the shitstorm if these people went to Ikea and saw the Swedish flag outside the store? Or, even worse, that denizen of non-patriotism:

International House Of Pancakes...

:eek2

TERRORISTS!

DIE YOU FUCKING INFIDELS!!!

Joe Citizen:

Mmmm.. I better call the UN and suggest they "cool" the display of flags.

Bush might issue an "executive decree" :winkwink:

Damn... Kinda wish I'd gone to your school, sweetheart! :winkwink:

WAAAAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!! :1orglaugh

LMFAO!!!

very good.

If they're so proud to be Mexican, why don't they go back to Mexico?

HELL FUCKEN YA............................well said



see ya

un-patriotic rat! How dare you!? :warning :1orglaugh

i say all classrooms in San Francisco should have a Chinese flag
considering at least 70% of students are Chinese

USA is Mexico now

Usualy you fly the flag from the country you were born in.

With the way the current statistics are thie is very true.
