Students Told to Stop ‘USA!’ Chant, Take Off American Flag Bandanas - By Andrew Johnson - The Corner - National Review Online

Students Told to Stop ‘USA!’ Chant, Take Off American Flag Bandanas - By Andrew Johnson - The Corner - National Review Online: "Four California high-school students were reportedly suspended for chanting “U.S.A! U.S.A!” and wearing American flag bandanas during a basketball game. While their punishment has since been rescinded, school administrators said “the incident is far from over.”

Oxnard Union School District superintendent Gabe Soumakian told Fox News that “we need to pursue this further” and “work with teachers and students and the community about the concept of cultural proficiency.” Soumakian and Camarillo High School principal Glenn Lipman felt that the students’ actions might have had racist undertones since the schools have large Hispanic student populations."
