Boys Sent Home For Wearing Red, White & Blue On Cinco de Mayo
The story is here.
Let's see, boys were wearing red, white and blue attire at school, on Cinco de Mayo and because some other students thought it was disrespectful, they were sent home. Yet, a couple of the boys are at least partially Hispanic and the one, Hispanic, father supports his son. If the boys were taunting or doing anything to instigate a confrontation, then there would be a reason...but in this instance, there is no logical reason why these boys should have been sent home. Completely outrageous, imo.

can't say i disagree with your assessment. i can't even fathom a valid justification.
