During a "spirit week" where juniors choose a different theme for each day.

quote:

They suggested "'Merica Day," but administrators, she said, thought it could be offensive to the school's international students.

So on one side you have the Coke haters because America's supposed to be white and English-speaking.

Then on the other side you have these administrators that think non-whites are not American. I think these guys are trying to outsmart themselves.

"My Country Monday," which they believed would allow students to celebrate any country they chose.

Finally, a day to remember Nazi Germany in our schools.












In all seriousness, wouldn't that make an impression: a student in Nazi garb being sent home on the same day that Merica Monday was banned.

This seems like something that well adjusted people would freak out about.

That would definitely send a message to the admins telling them how stupid they are, if someone dressed in Nazi garb on "My Country Day".

This is sad. If it pisses off the internationals so be it, they can go back to their homeland to get educated.
