A California high school is allowed to bar students from wearing T-shirts with the American flag on them during a Cinco de Mayo event after a 2010 incident involving white and Mexican students, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Thursday.
The court found that administrators had reason to believe displaying the American flag would lead to violent confrontation, so it was justified in removing the students displaying it. Because only students wearing the American flag were threatened, students could still wear other national flags, such as Mexico’s, the court found.
Here's a link to the court's actual ruling:

This is a real travesty, and it rewards the violent behavior of mexicans in our state. the court has given a green light for anti-american sentiment to take place on school grounds, but also red-lights any resistance to it.
