Oh and then this ...

A day after five Morgan Hill students were sent home for wearing American flag T-shirts, the controversy erupted ten-fold.
Dozens of students at Live Oak High School made a mass and impromptu walk out of class Thursday. They weren't protesting the ejections and instead were showing their Mexican-American pride. Many support the school's decision and say they were offended by their classmates' wardrobe choice.
Many of the students who walked out Thursday held Mexican flags as they left campus. The said they marching for respect and unity.
"My plan is to bring out the message we are also Americans and we need Americans to show our culture respect of our Hispanic background," student Mike Hernandez said.
The group walked to City Hall for a loud but calm noontime rally. They returned to school in about 90 minutes and finished the day in class.
