Default Re: Mexican Flag Burns at Arizona High School

A foreign flag does not belong flying over an American high school for sure. It was also chauvanistic for Mexican-Americans (presumably) to put it up there to send a message (likely over culture and immigration issues currently in the forefront). It was equally sinister for non-Mexican Americans (presumably) to burn it after taking it down. What a sad state of affairs insofar as community relations between different ethnic groups--both were sending ugly messages to the other over the current culture and immigration issues in what they all did.
