And it's not what you think 
Found this front page yahoo today, now I'm so pissed off, I might not be able to sleep.  :angry9:
But yet I love the  irony of the whole situation.

I saw that earlier- our nation is off the tracks.

I saw it on Bill O'Reilly on Fox News. It pissed me off. The school should be sued into bankruptcy. This is what happens when you have the state in control of schools. Stupid political correctness takes over. That was an outright violation of free speech and just because a fight "could" brake out because somebody is wearing an American flag on AMERICAN SOIL because some others were wearing the Mexican Flag on a FOREIGN COUNTRY's holiday is just outright ridiculous. If and when a fight brakes out you punish the evil doers (the ones that threw the first punch). Instead teachers/principals usually choose to punish the innocent with the guilty. That is not a way to teach children right from wrong if they get punished for whatever they do may it be right or wrong.

When I brought this up at work tonight, we also discussed waging a huge court battle, only to come to the realization that we would only be suing for our own tax dollars. Now, if one was to sue the individual faculty member(s) who made and carried out the decision, then justice may be served.
