With the country in the middle of a big debate about what to do with
illegal immigration from Mexico this was in extremely bad taste.
Appearances matter and the principal from that school made a very bad
one, not to mention his terrible judgement. This time it was just
parents pledging allegiance to the Mexican flag, next time it will be
the students. Good thing there was a parent that saw through this
facade and reported the moronic school official before he made it worse.
