SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal appeals court is set to consider the case of three students who were sent home from a Northern California high school for refusing to remove shirts emblazoned with the American flag on Cinco de Mayo.
On Thursday the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco will hear oral arguments after a lower court tossed out the case in 2011.
School officials argued that students' civil rights can be curtailed to ensure safety and limit disruptions. The lower court agreed and the students appealed.
The students wore the shirts on May 5, 2010. Mexicans celebrate that day as "Cinco de Mayo," and compare it to the United States' July Fourth observance. Unpleasant verbal exchanges and altercations marked the previous year's celebrations at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, 20 miles south of San Jose.

Don't be so quick to throw away your life. No matter how disgraceful or embarrassing it may be, you need to keep struggling to find your way out until the very end.

This is america, it is not our national holiday. You're in our country, abide by our laws and regulations.
Just like when we vacation down in mexico, before we went down we made sure we spoke almost fluent spanish and spoke to a few people about specific things they do and don't do down there compared to the US.Xtreme Formulations Aficionado

Depending on the evidence, I'd be surprised if this gets held up on appeal. This case seems very similar to Tinker v. Des Moines School District, where the Supreme Court ruled that a student could wear a black armband to protest the Vietnam war.
But I think the case will turn on how much evidence there was that wearing the shirt would cause a disruption. Without an concrete evidence that it would cause problems, I don't see why the rule in Tinker that "undifferentiated fear or apprehension of disturbance is not enough to overcome the right to freedom of expression" wouldn't apply here.Squat: 425

If someone wore a "Viva Mexico" shirt on 4th of July, I wouldn't mind. I thought this country stood for liberty.
Maybe we should all just burn our American flags so nobody else gets offended.أشهد أن لا إله إلاَّ الله Ùˆ أشهد أن Ù…Øمد رسول الله

Not surprised one bit...this chit will never stop. If it isn't a topic like this, it's a flag at your desk, it's a kid biting a bagel int the shape of a gun, not being allowed to play tag on the playground...

It's cool to hate on what this country was built on? It's cool to hate your country in general right?

What's even more sickening is that while Mexico was fighting this battle to not be conquered, the U.S was fighting a civil war that would decide our power and status for the next century.Last edited by new64chevy; 10-17-2013 at 09:00 AM.

Pretty sure they mean Cinco de Mayo. I agree being sent home for wearing the T shirt is stupid. But you can't honestly argue that should not use non-english words when in America, a country that has no national language and guarantees free speech.Originally Posted by Diesel0022
