The five teens were sitting at a table outside Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Calif., on Wednesday morning when Assistant Principal Miguel Rodriguez asked two of them to remove their American flag bandannas, the Morgan Hill Times reported. The boys told the newspaper they complied, but were asked to accompany Rodriguez to the principal's office.

The five students -- Daniel Galli, Austin Carvalho, Matt Dariano, Dominic Maciel and Clayton Howard -- were then told they must turn their T-shirts inside-out or be sent home, though it would not be considered a suspension. Rodriguez told the students he did not want any fights to break out between Mexican-American students celebrating their heritage and those wearing American flags.

Saw that, unbelievable. Told that you can't wear a US Flag shirt on the 5th of May, please. Almost as dumb as the Connecticut school that attempted to have dual graduations in a church...hello Civil Rights.

Beyond the fact that anyone requested the kids to do so in the first place, I wonder if it is just a coincidence that assistant Principal Miguel Rodriguez was the one who asked them to turn their shirts inside-out.
