One argument that keeps recirculating is the one that confuses me the most. Nobody i have debated with about it has been capable of giving a clear definitive answer. In effect, my question still stands; If students are allowed to organize culture clubs such as the German club, Asian club, African American club, Scottish club, or the Mexican club then why are American clubs forbidden?
I realize and acknowledge the fact that our ancestors all came from those countries originally, and we will never forget our roots. But we are now residents of this country, thus making us Americans. If we are forbidden to wave our American flag and support our American traditions in our own country, then where is it legal.
The argument on the other end of the stick is that Americans are being too exclusive, which is a slippery slope considering that it could also be called racial superiority. Some call it national pride, some call it racism. But America has seen many colors of flags being waved around due to it being the most racially mixed country.
When the Arizona bill passed that was targeting Mexican immigrants (so called racial profiling), a few kids attending a high school in southern Arizona were suspended from school for wearing American flag clothing. Essentially wearing American flags, these kids were allegedly "insensible given the circumstances."
Some issues may be taken a little too far, but the question still stands; are American high school students supposed to accept the fact that their country's traditions are being dilluted and eventually will not exist?
