Let's do the right thing courts!!!

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with this Country?  The same kids who got told to take off their American flag t-shirts on Cinco De-Mayo are now fighting in court for their rights, and the courts are saying the school was right!  Huh?  The school was right because it told a group of high school kids they couldn't wear shirts with the Americna flag on them, but it was okay for Hispanic students to wear shirts with the Mexican flag on them?  How was this the right call?  Were the hispanic students prohibited from wearing their Mexican flag t-shirts on the 4th of July? 

I heard an interview this morning with one of the kids.  He said there wasn't a problem at all that morning.  He interacted with hispanic students and nobody said anything, or even acted like they noticed.  It wasn't until the Vice-Principal brought it up that it became a big deal.  (and, on a side note, shouldn't the "Vice" Principal be paying more attention to drugs & prostitution at the school than the shirts?)  Why is the Vice-Principal, who, I'm assuming, is an American citizen, treating these kids like they are weak-bladdered, knobby kneed commies?

Will girls in high schools be told from this point on that they can't wear skirts to school because it might offend the muslim students?  What if Jewish kids want to wear their yarmulkas?  What if some really fat girls decide to wear spandex?  That might be offensive to a whole bunch of high school boys.  Will that be tolerated? What if the kickers can't wear cowboy hats because it offends the skaters?  What if the skaters can't wear skinny jeans cuz it offends the jocks?  See where I'm going?  Everybody, and I mean everybody, at some point is going to offend somebody else!  Get over it!  Chances are, they weren't even trying to offend you! (unlike those like myself, who choose to try to offend people)

And for the appologists, who just can't help but appologize if they happen to offend somebody...Get over it!  If somebody decides to be offended by some remark you made in passing, or what you wear, or what you drive, or what you had for lunch, or whatever, it's THEIR problem.  Not yours!  Grow a little thicker skin. 

My hat's off (if I had one on) to the kids who are fighting the schools decision!  Hopfully, somebody in this country will wake up one day and say, "why dad-gum.  What we did to these kids is just plain stupid!  This here is America.  They should be allowed to honor the flag anytime they dang well please!  And if the people flying the Mexican flag get offended, why, maybe we should just give them taxi fare back to the border!"

And if some part of this offends you, TOUGH CRAP!
