Allow students to wear American flag t-shirt on Cinco De Mayo.

Created by D.J. on February 28, 2014

As citizens of the United States of America we should be granted the privilege of being able to wear a t-shirt that displays our country's flag. How could this be taken away from us? Or at least, how can this be taken away from students in Live Oak High School, which is located in the San Jose suburb of Morgan Hill. It is absolutely absurd that such a thing could be. If we cannot wear our own flag in our own country because it may offend someone from a foreign country, then what right do they have to say anything if they are an immigrant. Basically, if the price of having Hispanics or Mexicans in the country is not being able to celebrate our flag whenever we want, then they are simply not welcome. People died for the meaning behind that flag; it should be an insult to every American.
