KTVU has more on the meeting, via FOX Nation:
About 200 people packed the middle school auditorium where the meeting was held to accommodate the larger than normal number of people who attended to vent their feelings.
“Regardless where we came from when we come to this nation, we adopt its culture and what this nation stands for and the flag,” said Morgan Hill resident Lavonne Atnit. “I am personally getting very tired of disrespect to that flag and what this nation stands for.”
Morgan Hill’s Claudia Rossi offered some advice to the Latino student who walked out of school in protest the day following the incident.
“To those Latino kids that are here: you are not going to change the mind of one person that is being offensive to you,” said Rossi. “Educate yourself. That is the way to honor your flag wherever you come from.”
The boys who wore the patriotic colors — which some Latino students viewed as disrespectful — did not show up. However, some of their parents did.
“The students were not making a political statement. Their goal was to simply their pride in their country,” said parent Joy Jones. “As parents we are proud we have raised young men who stand up for what they believe in.”

Richard Aubrey commented:
The racist assistant principal–presuming he continues to defend his action as one of concern for safety–will have to make the case that he had reason to think the Latino students were easily provoked to mindless violence by the sight of the American flag.
Good luck with that.

There wasting there time, the schools are full of overpaid leftists and only care about there paycheck and pensions. Maybe years ago teachers actually cared about teaching but now it’s just about the paycheck.
California has some of the lowest school scores in the states, the teachers blame the parents for not being more involved. When I was a little boy, I learned reading/writing at school, my parents never helped me with homework. The teachers just can’t teach nowadays, too lazy.
The illegals/anchor babies where just rioting to get out of class which they are probably failing anyway. They hate America too, but they learn that from the teachers and there hugo chavez tshirts.
John Cunningham commented:
In Mexico, carrying foreign flags in a demonstration is a felony for non-citizens, and it is cause for permanent expulsion from the country. Check out Mexican immigration laws, they make a lot of sense.

The ISDs want the autonomy of a city or county govt. Every principal who violates the Constitution should be jailed.
ProLifer commented:
Don’t you know that we live in “stolen occupied Mexico”?
John Gargano commented:
Never in the entire history of civilization have any group of people entered a foreign country and placed their demands for respect above the respect for the people of the country they entered.
How did these people develop such huge fragile egos? Why have so many people catered to their defiance? Why should we give them a path to citizenship?
REMEMBER in NOVEMBER!
REMEMBER in NOVEMBER!
Rock commented:
Absolutely not a waste of time. When we challenge these affronts we are making a statement that not all Americans will roll over while these ingrates disrespect us and our country. They do this because they believe we are afraid to challenge them, teach them otherwise or lose. We have young men and women standing up for our flag in our nations school’s at least show the backbone to back them up. I’m beginning to believe that the Silent Majority of the 60′ and 70′s was more like the Don’t Get Involved Majority.
wanumba commented:
The schools operate with forked tongues. Out of one side of their mouths they intone “tolerance” and “conflict resolution” and “understanding” and out of the other they encourage a perpetual state of “offended.”
Like oil and water. Or rather, like oil and a match. The Progressive Left likes chaos, but no one else does.
retired military commented:
Why isnt the ACLU threatening to sue the school system for freedom of speech violations?
/sarcasm off
If I were one of the parents I would be looking into sueing the school system for this.
LogicalSC commented:
This is not the first incident of the racist Assistant Principal. He has accosted American students on other occasions.
At another Cinco de Mayo he suspended a boy who was picking up his sister with their dad’s truck which had an American flag sticker on the window.
He is a wannabe-Mexican with a racist intolerance. Fire him immediately.

The principal demonstrated prejudicial racism against the school’s Hispanic Students!!
JeanieinFL commented:
I hope these parents do sue the pants off this school system….Then I hope Arizonia sues California for Breach of Contract and any and all legal recourse that needs to be taken and then I hope all the illegals move to California, right next door to Nancy Pelosi.

Greetings:
What amuses me about this on-going story, is how the media has ignored the fact that a bunch of students, the semi-Mexis, left the school property during the school day and they are not being subjected to any school discipline process.
Did the school’s administrators not realize that they absented themselves. “Ditching” class, as it’s called in Cali-speak, used to be a disciplinary offense.
Grace Steingieser commented:
good grief! this is getting too far!! whoever enters America should honor US flag 24/7 365 days. Simply put, America will never change for what it stood for since 200 yrs so foreigners should take it or leave it. I am so America-armed and will be ready to defend the second anyone tries to change the American way. My generation had bled for America beliefs and I shall carry its values as long as I live.
