This explains itself:
Quote:
Parraz said the campus has recently experienced some racial tension. He said some students got out of hand on Cinco de Mayo.
"Our Hispanic, you know, kids will, you know, bring their Mexican flags and they'll display it, and then of course the kids would do the American flag situation, and it does cause kind of a racial tension which we don't really want," Parraz said. "We want them to appreciate the cultures."
Parraz said if a disruption arises over a flag, they want it to be taken down to protect the safety of all students.
The teen's mother said she hopes to talk to the school principal to work something out.
Outside of the school, a large U.S. flag flies from atop a flagpole.

A friend of mine works in a school cafeteria, and she has a little American flag at her station. Some of the kids will ask her why she doesn't have a Mexican flag.
Her answer?
"Because we're in America"
I doubt there would such a "racial tension" in Parraz' school if the school system didn't push racial consciousness in the form of "diversity".
