Schools Ban Patriotic Clothes, Flags
SAN DIEGO—In the wake of last week’s immigration-reform protests, one school district is taking drastic measures, banning all symbols of patriotism, both U.S. and Mexican.
Beginning Monday, the Oceanside Unified School District is banning all flags and patriotic clothing. According to school officials, some students are using the garments and flags to taunt classmates.
Some critics of the move are calling it a violation of free speech protections guaranteed by the Constitution.

“To me, it’s everything,” said Brentlinger “I mean, like I said—we truly live in the greatest country in the world.”
Brentlinger said he was shocked on Tuesday when marching immigration-reform protesters tore down the flag outside his business.
“Some of them just grabbed the flag, and pulled it off its aluminum pole, and it got ripped,” said Brentlinger.

Meanwhile, anyone who is offended by my flag—whether you’re Mexican or Iraqi—can bite me.
