I believe Nameless was correcting you and trying to explain that it's ....well it's not "illegal" it's just uncouth/disrespectful to use the actual flag as anything other than a flag.

ono, I don't really think you understand the kind of resentment shit like this can build up in people. Right now this isn't a racist/ethnocentrist issue it's just a couple kids that got sent home from school for wearing something some moron at a school thought was inappropriate. In the future this could get the ball rolling on any number of bad ideas/acts. I don't think that the people in charge of sending the kids home thought very much about the repercussions of their actions.
We're quite clearly on different ends of the spectrum. They were sent home to prevent a situation between the Hispanic kids and the American kids. Nothing more, nothing less.
