US students kicked of school campus for wearing US flag t-shirts

Yes, in conclusion I will argue that schools are no place to celebrate foreign holidays and that uniforms are a pretty good idea. No Mexican shirts and therefore no American shirts either. It can work both ways and and at all times. That's how a school can avoid these issues.

Schools tend to celebrate these sort of days to teach the kids about the history and significance of such holidays. Cinco De Mayo has significance because it celebrates the fact that Puebla in Mexico resisited invasion by France, despite being vastly outnumbered. Eventually Mexico became occupied by the French, but that's beside the point. It's relevant to teach in America as there are Mexicans in the country and there are Americans with Mexican ancestry.

The kids broke the US flag code aswell, which is both bewildering and funny....in equal measures.
