Four California high-school students were reportedly suspended for chanting “U.S.A! U.S.A!” and wearing American flag bandanas during a basketball game. While their punishment has since been rescinded, school administrators said “the incident is far from over.” Oxnard Union School District superintendent Gabe Soumakian told Fox News Radio that “we need to pursue this further” and “work with teachers and students and the community about the concept of cultural proficiency.” Soumakian and Camarillo High School principal Glenn Lipman felt that the students’ actions might have had racist undertones since the schools have large Hispanic student populations. www.nationalreview.com/corner/340639/students-told-stop-usa-chant-take-american-flag-bandanas-andrew-johnson

Okay...that is stupid on so many levels. yelling USA can't be racist as the USA isn't a race...this is a non issue that they are making drama out of.

Bottom line. Is the school in the USA? Are the hispanics attending the school not USA citizens? If they aren't then why are they in the school? This country is going to hell in a handbasket.
