Instead of assimilating them into America's melting pot, fringe elements are recruiting them as foot soldiers of international progressivism, with the help of guilty multiculturist handmaidens who infest our public institutions.
High School students who were kicked off campus for wearing American flag apparel on Cinco de Mayo, have flatly refused to apologize. Good for them.
"I think they should apologize cause it is a Mexican Heritage Day," Annicia Nunez, a Live Oak High student, said. "We don't deserve to be get disrespected like that. We wouldn't do that on Fourth of July."
As for an apology, the boys and their families say, 'fat chance.' (NBC-Bay Area)The "aggrieved" little self-entitlement girls and boys need to get over it. (and their ignorance is stunning: Of our constitutional rights, as well as their ignorance of what Cinco de Mayo really is) Somebody needs to inform this little girl that this is America, not some third world hell-hole where people riot and kill one another over being "disrespected."
The American flag and other patriotic symbols are NEVER out of place anywhere in the United States of America. Got it, little girly? And we are damned tolerant of chintzy third-world trinkets and paraphernalia here as well, so get over it.
The Political Correctness Guilt Trip Ain't Workin' Anymore
Tom Bevan at RCP says it way better than me, and puts this in broader context. We are fed up with this PC crap! Every time some "oppressed minority*" is "offended*" we are supposed to bow down in hushed, repentant silence .
The fact is, Americans are increasingly fed up with the racially divisive, politically correct insanity pulsating through the country today. After years of being pressured and browbeaten by the left-wing PC police about what they can say, do, think, and wear, many Americans have had enough. And they're especially furious with being asked to apologize for things that aren't or shouldn't be in the least bit offensive.Call me racist, jingoistic, I don't care. This is America, I am proud of my country, and if some are offended by American patriotism they can go to hell, or better yet, go back to the primitive toilet they crawled out of.
* - We have no oppressed minorities in this country. The credentialed professions and the halls of power are sprinkled liberally with a rainbow of diversity, and rightly so. No one race, creed, color or gender is superior to another, and we recognize that here in America, which is unique among the countries of the world.
* - There is no right to not be offended in America. Just ask Christians who have had their holy symbols dunked in urine and sculpted in elephant dung, all to great applause from the liberal cognoscenti and the press.
Here's a good editorial on the subject
