Quite a few bloggers have been following the protests in California related to the enforcement of immigration laws and border security. Euphoric Reality has a much-updated thread on the Los Angeles high school students who have been walking out of the classroom to fly the flag of Mexico high - above the US flag, in fact, which has apparently been flown upside-down in more than one school. Right On can't figure out why schools can't seem to stop students from leaving in protest nor figure out ways to discipline them. And Captain Ed minces no words:
...by flying American flags upside-down under the Mexican flag, [these students are] showing a loyalty to Mexico that overrides their loyalty to the US. And then they have the temerity to demand that we allow them to live here without following our laws governing entry into the US as well as continue to provide government services to them.Posted by kswygert at March 30, 2006 11:31 AM
