It has nothing to do with Mexico taking over the Southwest. It is a celebration of a battle that was won in 1862.

I heard Rush say today that Cinco De Mayo day was started by a beer company to promote beer.

Thanx Jack. If we can't wear Stars & Stripes on May 5th then it has everything to do with "something else".

That's absurd. Do they celebrate July 4th in Mexico?

Let the Mexicans in Mexico celebrate their Mexican military's victory over the French if they want. This is America. We celebrate American Military victories, not some other country's. How ridiculous that we even allow it. If they love that country that much and it's so great they should go back. We honor patriots not traitors.

They sent American students home for being American patriots, sounds like someone needs to file an American lawsuit. Wheres Jesse Jackson the ACLU and all the other bigmouths, why aren't they speaking up for our kids now. OH I FORGOT WE DON'T NEED TO EDUCATE OUR KIDS, WILL JUST IMPORT SKILLED WORKERS. ( with extreme sarcasm)

LOL Jap69! Didn't hear that one.

If you read up on topic, i.e. this article, you come to realize this is a group protected by our Gov. because it furthers their agenda. If you were born here and not a person of color then you are the enemy of the elites NWO plans.
That's why the unimaginable is happening, like students not allowed to show the USA colors! Things are upside down for a reason!
Agree with Rick, rdgrnr, and sully. Thanx for viewing.

The principal of that school needs some red white blue up the ying yang.
