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's flag pole and hung it upside down while putting up the Mexican flag over it. (*See pictures below*)
It is a shame that these kits have harmed their own cause. Demanding amnesty and then denigrating the flag of the country they live in will not aid them in their goal. It doesn’t matter what country this happens it, it’s just not smart thinking. I can’t imagine the French giving Dutch immigrants amnesty if a bunch of Dutch immigrants pulled a stunt like this with their own flags. It was dumb and insulting.
Here is the snopes.com website address confirming this story. This event originally happened in 2006 but I think its worth remembering as the situation has not changed.
