    It's better than the Alamo!

    If they were really trying to start something, the Red/White/Blue kids woulda told the Red/White/Green kids they were celebrating the 8th of May early (since it was on the weekend). That's the day the USA defeated the Mexicans at the battle of Palo Alto in the war w Mexico in 1846!

    Imagine if a school VP w an Anglo name like "Taylor" had told the Red/White/Greeners to remove their colors because it might be "incendiary"?

    All this silliness over a minor Mexican holiday trumped up by the beer companies to promote binge drinking!?

    The teachers and parents of the school are not doing a very good job if both color camps feel a need to "dis" and/or feel "dissed" by this. They all need to learn to tolerate some ribbing and move on. Maybe Obama should invite all of 'em to the White House to share a basket of Nachos?
