Coming... Coming... Came.... United State of Maxico???

I have found this news story... and I am kind of puzzled... Alright here is how it goes...

On any other day at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Daniel Galli and his four friends would not even be noticed for wearing T-shirts with the American flag. But Cinco de Mayo is not any typical day especially on a campus with a large Mexican American student population.
Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal's office.
"They said we could wear it on any other day," Daniel Galli said, "but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today.".
The boys said the administrators called their T-shirts "incendiary" that would lead to fights on campus.
"They said if we tried to go back to class with our shirts not taken off, they said it was defiance and we would get suspended," Dominic Maciel, Galli's friend, said.


My Views:
I guess i am not easily get offended... It never occurs to me anything if I see anyone wearing Any cloths US Flags or other wise on 15 Aug (Indian Independence Day).. Does it happen to you all???
What type of country we live in? There are 195 countries in the world... from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and Out of 365 days about half would have independence day of one or the other..
So does that mean, Everyone needs to keep track of every independence day possible while dressing in the morning and make sure we dress accordingly... or there will be fight out? And if we do not have to worry about other countries why Mexican independence day is special?
Or... is it that we have reached at a tip over point where now American have to be afraid of legal or illegal Mexicans / American Mexicans...

I don't think that we should be celebrating Mexican holidays at the expense of America. We used to be something called a melting pot. Melt in! You don't melt in by being offended by people who are wearing the American flag. If you want to be an American, it's your flag now, too, not the Mexican flag. (Or check you may be illegally here undocumented)You want Mexico? Go back to Mexico! You want Germany? Go back to Germany! You want Sweden? Go back to Sweden! Canada? Go back to Canada!
