The country is going crazy on this immigrant issue!
If you channel-surfed around the old boob tube like I did this afternoon - news alerts interrupting regular programs were an obvious sign that Americans are not only riled up about the illegal immigrant dilemma - but prone to respond in a knee-jerk reaction to the issues.
Sometimes with disastrous outcomes.
When a couple of men showed up at a Cinco de Mayo celebration at their school - wearing shirts emblazoned with the American Flag - school officials suspended the boys from class.
Huh?
Americans across the Nation responded in outrage!
“Suspending a boy from school for wearing the red, white, and blue,” one shook his head in disbelief.
In their defense, the teachers argued that the boys' in-your-face statement on a Mexican National holiday was insulting inappropriate behavior.
However, in the wake of strident vocal protests from parents and upstanding members of the community, the school board apologized and rescinded their prior decision on the matter.
Elsewhere, a Latino student hung a Mexican flag above the U.S. flag on school property in a stairwell, which caused a young while male to tear it down and toss it in the trash.
Meanwhile, teachers have not remained onlookers on the sidelines, either.
On a Fox talk show tonight, a video caught a teacher on stage at a rally, urging Revolution in a feverish high pitch.
Say what?
In Arizona, another controversy arose over a law that seeks to bar ethnic studies classes in Arizona State schools.
One scholar (of Hispanic descent) recalled her own school days.
“I was taught that this was the land of opportunity and an education in public schools could help realize an individual’s dreams,” she said in so many words.
“In this instance, they’re teaching oppression."
And the courses appear to focus entirely on Latinos.
What about Asians, Blacks, Native American Indians, and so forth and so?
The main text - Latino Wisdom - is a guide book that urges revolution and resentment towards natural-born Caucasian Citizens, with chapters on how to survive in the hostile environment that is allegedly America today.
All the arguments are based on spurious grounds.
For example, the authors argue that California was once the property of Mexicans - and for this reason - there must be a call for Latinos reclaim their land!
By force, if necessary!
Be careful what you eat at the local fast-food joint, eh?
At this juncture - in my estimation - Latino Wisdom is an oxymoron!
Toss the ungrateful bastards out on their a**es!
Footnote
On CNN News this morning (May 13th) a supporter of the Ethnic classes noted that the program is also available for other minority students.
