Here's a comment from the Chronicle's website:
(I kind of wonder if this person is trolling)
As a white person I'm sick and REALLY tired of especially white people using our American Flag as an excuse to stir up hatred. Do the students who were sent home, a few of whom identify as partly-latino (partly white?), regularly wear the American Flag to school? Or had it been months since, and SUDDENLY they SPONTANEOUSLY decided to get together and wear their US Flag shirts/shorts on CINCO de MAYO?
Maybe it's time to make manditory three high school sememsters of Multicultural American History before students graduate into adult life? After all, American History IS Multicultural, NOT just white.
The students owe apologies to all Mexican-decended students. You guys, go home, look in the mirrror and apologize to yourselves as well, for being thoughtless and disrespectful.
