Montebello High School (California) flies US flag upside down (2006)

[Lauri]

I guess they already finished their English homework!!!
Montebello High School in California

You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front page of the NY Times, nor on the lead story of the major news networks.
The protestors at Montebello High School took the American flag off the school flag pole and hung it upside down while putting up the Mexico an flag over it.  (*See pictures below*)

I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington .. The image of the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on American soil is already spreading on Internet forums and via e-mail.

Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every representative in the state and federal government.. If you choose to remain uninvolved, do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be 'redistributed' to the activists while you are so peacefully staying out of the 'fray'. Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values. One person CAN make a difference.
One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one........

The battle for our secure borders and immigration laws that actually mean something, however, hasn't even begun.

from Malkin's comments:

I live in a small farm town in Nelson County, Virginia, and will retire from the Virginia Army National Guard in April 2006, after 22 years. I have spent almost one half of my adult life preparing myself and my soldiers for a time, such as now, that our country might successfully face our enemies, foreign and domestic. Looking at your webpage this morning and seeing the pictures of the high school students raising a Mexican national flag over an upside down American flag saddened me terribly, insofar as there are American soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen currently putting their lives in danger in order to provide these “citizens” the comfort of knowing that their protests will not result in being lined up against a wall and executed for their behavior, as they might in other countries around the world.

What would be interesting to know is if these young men and women are enjoying their educations on the back of the American taxpayer at a public school, while denigrating the country that provides these benefits to them, and so blatantly desecrating the flag that serves as a beacon to draw them to America in the first place.

and another comment:

I was on the BART system not long ago and noticed a advertisement for a radio station called “La Raza” which touted that it played “our music for our people.” It is yet another sign of the chicano separatist movement. Imagine a radio station entitled “The Race: White Music For White People.” It highlights something you have long pointed out, that there is a glaring double standard in the way different ethnicities are treated. White pride is a taboo while multiculturalists everywhere applaud the black power and chicano power movements as noble advocates for social justice.

I know this is a disgusting fact, but because you are an ethnic female you are allowed to say many things that ‘white guys’ are booed and hissed out of the
public forum and dismissed as bigots for saying. Multiculturalism is the new McCarthyism and ideas are categorized as racist or stereotypical without being
considered. I hope you know what I’m trying to say.

I am a carpenter, handyman, and day laborer who has been competing with illegals for years and lost many contracts because as I have been told many times, “I could hire two Mexicans for your wages."

 I appreciate the spotlight you are putting on the issue and the insidious social forces behind it. Thanks.

This is great -- but also old - March 2006.

Why are you bringing this out now?  It was discussed to death on BOTH TOS and TOOS.

The illegal immigrant fight has completely shifted now -- partially as a result of that blog.

[DixieBelle]

It's still very relevant and deserves to be highlighted here regardless of it's prominence on TOS or anywhere else you've frequented. Just ignore threads you feel have been "done to death".

Until shamnesty is completely defeated and illegal immigration is dealt with appropriately, it's good to remind ourselves what we face and how people behave. Just my $ .02.

They must be in distress.

Sorry -- I know how this kind of thing can be overlooked (old articles) -- and it still rankles, indeed.
