Principal Apologizes For Forbidding US Flag Shirts on Mexican Holiday

This may have been prompted by the national outcry and significant media attention over the students being sent home for wearing an American Flag shirt.

"A California high school principal has apologized for telling five students they couldn't wear U.S. flag shirts on Cinco de Mayo, the local superintendent said Friday.

Tensions at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill had risen in the wake of the decision to forbid the shirts, as the students who wore the shirts defended their right to show their patriotism -- even on a Mexican holiday -- while a large group of Hispanic students staged a walkout Thursday in protest."
