Arizona and California

As Arizona bravely steps forward to enforce immigration laws, school administrations in California step toward banning the First Amendment. On 5 May some students at Live Oak High School wore t-shirts emblazoned with American flags and were told to remove them, turn them inside out, or leave. The school administrators did not want to "incite a confrontation". Wait a minute, this is the United States of America, not Mexico, and cinco de mayo is not a US holiday. It is not even the Mexican version of Independence Day, it is merely the anniversary of the Mexicans first victory over the occupying French. Big deal, who hasn't beaten the French? But I digress, the First Amendment protects the four students wearing American flag t-shirts, and youth should be encouraged to patriotism, not punished for it. These school administrators are typical of the government employees of the Socialist Republic of California and the entire government system of CA needs to be replaced. Meanwhile, San Francisco has had harsh words for Arizona for wanting to enforce the rule of law. That alone should end debate, when San Francisco is against something, then it must be the right thing to do.
