Dr. Wesley Smith Responds, And A Bunch Of Bratty “Mexican American Students” Act Like Jerks.

The superintendent of the high school which sent patriotic kids home yesterday released this statement:

Good evening. This is Dr. Wesley Smith, Superintendent of the Morgan Hill Unified School District. The Morgan Hill Unified School District does not prohibit nor do we discourage wearing patriotic clothing. The incident on May 5 at Live Oak High School is extremely unfortunate. While campus safety is our primary concern and administrators made decisions yesterday in an attempt to ensure campus safety, students should not, and will not, be disciplined for wearing patriotic clothing. This situation and our response are under review.

We know that this is an emotionally charged topic. We would ask you to encourage your students to be safe and focus on their academics while in school. If conversations and/or activities are necessary to express their feelings on this issue, we will find appropriate venues that do not disturb student learning or jeopardize the safety of our students. Furthermore, we encourage everyone to demonstrate respect for each other, open communication, and responsibility.

Thank you for your support and understanding. Dr. Wesley Smith Superintendent

You wanna hear something totally outrageous?  Yesterday, 200 Mexican American students walked out of class in protest, waved the Mexican flag, and said they were marching for “respect and unity.”  UNITY -they said.  Are they freaking kidding?  AND, they want the school to suspend the kids who DARED TO SHOW patriotism for America.  In an American high school.  On American soil.  In, you know, AMERICA.

I hope those 200 kids get suspended for walking out of class.  What a bunch of jerks.
