    oh wow...

    The school admin isn't assuming they're not American, nor am I. Bro, you've gotta work on how you're reading things. They're recognizing what couldve been an inflammatory gesture, as explained earlier. Whether or not it was isn't mine to claim. I wasn't there.

    All the kids in those schools are Americans or are you suggesting they are not?

    If those kids are Americans as well why would it be a taunt?

    In order for it to be an inflammatory gesture it would have to offend someone. If USA is not racist then how can chanting it be inflammatory unless of course the School admin thinks that just because you are from Mexico that you are illegal or you dont feel American. If anything in the name of being PC it seems the ADMIN is the ones being racist.

    It has been by experience with bozos like these that they do it to imply that they are the sole guardians of American valuues and that those who oppose them are not good Americans.

    I don't offend easily, and I wouldn't be offended if someone put a noose on my mailbox. Does that mean it wasn't an inflammatory gesture? The intent is all that matters, which is what initiates context.

    Context, and acknowledgement for inflammatory behavior toward targeted groups. A watermelon isn't offensive... yet a photo-shopped picture of a watermelon patch on the white house lawn (following Barack Obama's inauguration) is deemed racially motivated and inflammatory.

    None of you are even asking yourselves (nor do you care) what motivated the sudden burst of patriotism at an event comprised entirely of Americans. No notice of a major terrorist dying... no tribute to America... just organized play. The reason you don't care involves the possibility that it may have been used to taunt a group of people commonly construed as illegals because of their ethnicity (for the sake of being inflammatory).

    Context matters.

    But they weren't.

    They were wearing American flag bandanas.

    Something that is obviously offensive to illegal aliens and lib educators who have allegiance with Mexico instead of the United States.

    "The reason i dont care" is i am not a mind reader. I have no idea what those kinds "intended" by it. However i am not going to just jump the gun and assume it had racial motivation when it makes zero sense as the only reason anyone who be offended by a USA chant is if they truly didnt feel American themselves.

    However when something like this happens

    It is either ignored or readily excused by being ok by the PC police.

    I would be offended if someone placed a noose on your mail box.

    The context is that we are Americans living in America. If some one is offended by love of country and pride of accomplishment then they should seek and arrainge for themselves residence in some other country where pride can be more easily aroused.

    which is why I said "it may have been used to taunt". That whole objectivity thing.

    You didn't read. Thanks.

    So, I guess under the terms of "cultural proficiency" (geesh, who dreams up this crap) overt patriotism, at least when it's USA driven, is considered "offensive" and thus forbidden. Not surprising in an environment where guilt ridden cowardly liberals rule the roost.

    Hopefully the trend you're referring to is that of teaching our teenagers some manners. I'm all for that.

    I did read. You presented non commital mediocraty. If you do not love your country, then leave. It matters not what caused the celibration, that it offended the MaO'Bama voting politically correct leftist losers of that school district who sought to suspend them for it is a fricking outrage. Screw them and the pathetic sentiments that inspired their traitorous actions.

    Interesting. Then they might as well end the first amendment completely and make sure the kids is school are only allowed certain answers for certain questions because literally anything could be spun that someone *might* be offended.

    How can chanting USA! be a taunt in America?

    Or even in California?

    I'm not a California hater.

    I grew up thinking anyplace that had Disneyland must be OK.

    But things have changed out there.

    Illegal immigrents have ruined that state by absorbing benefits that they are not entitled to from education to health care. Its a fricking disgrace, but the people elect imcompetent leftist loser and seem happy with the ruinous results.

    Look at it from the illegal alien's point of view.

    No matter how far they drag California down it will still be better than it was in Mexico.
