http://action.afa.net/Blogs/BlogPost.aspx?id=2147494171You of course are familiar by now with the pathetic case of Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, California, in which four students were expelled from school for wearing the American flag on campus on Cinco de Mayo, which is not even a national holiday in Mexico (it's celebrated in the state of Puebla, but almost nowhere else. It's a bigger holiday in California than virtually anywhere in Mexico.)
Bob Owens points out that the school has plenty of room for the racist student organization MEChA, which has as its logo an eagle with an Aztec war club on one claw and a stick of dynamite in the other.
MEChA is, as Owens says, little more than a "racial supremacist group seeking to carve out a country of their own" - and this out of U.S. territory, no less.
From the official MEChA website (note that the "Aztlan" they speak of includes the southwestern United States):
As Chicanas and Chicanos of Aztlán, we are a nationalist movement of Indigenous Gente that lay claim to the land that is ours by birthright. As a nationalist movement we seek to free our people from the exploitation of an oppressive society that occupies our land. Thus, the principle of nationalism serves to preserve the cultural traditions of La Familia de La Raza and promotes our identity as a Chicana/Chicano Gente.
Racial supremacy is alive and well at Live Oak, only the color is brown. How is this any different or better than the KKK?
