please make sure the students can continue to fight for their shirts with flags. Why is it that people have to change their beliefs for others? Shouldn't each person do what they believe? We have to not say GOD, or not say CHRISTMAS because some people do not believe in it, so?, then they do not have to say it or celebrate it, but, do not make it bad for anyone else. Let these students wear their shirts and fight for them.
I read the subject article and John Whitehead’s comments. Of course I don’t know everything you’ve said on it, but I suggest we start talking about such incidents in stronger language that encapsulates the essence. I’ve copied my comments on the article below. It would convey a powerful image if we say the school and judge are discriminating, calling the American flag-wearers tolerant people (I understand they were not complaining against the display of the Mexican flag), calling those who made threats bullies and hate-mongers. We should also treat the threateners as what they are: criminals. If I threaten violence against my neighbor, the police will come for me, not my neighbor. The school and court would have them come for my neighbor. What kind of people are we raising here?
“Why are the school and judge discriminating against tolerant people in favor of hate-mongers? They are rewarding the bullies.
“They need to put the hate-mongers in counseling and explain that this is America, and that many Americans are proud of our country, just like they (the students in this school) are proud of Mexico. They need to teach these intolerant students to live peacefully, tolerantly with people who aren't exactly like themselves. And if they hate America so much, perhaps someday they can emigrate to Mexico (or return home, as the case may be).
“If a child gets what he wants by throwing a temper-tantrum, he will never learn self-control, sharing, delayed gratification, or many other character traits that make for a useful, productive adult. Ditto these immature students who can't stand Americans loving America.
“Why aren't conservatives and patriotic Americans verbalizing their actions in such language? It's what it is.
“We need to describe incidents and rulings like this in strong language that lays it out. Right now, the Lefties are winning the PR war by misrepresenting us, but they do it in strong, easy-to-remember language. We need to use the same strength of language when we lay out the truth.”
During the appeal to the ruling of the case vs.Morgan Hill Unified School District you all should associate May 5th with the Battle of the Wilderness. Give it an American historical aspect.
