Stealth - you wanted a source for them demaning the kids be suspended. Note its the same NBC affiliate that was sourced in the OP:

For clarity sake - I quote the article with emphasis added to the issue in question.

Quote:
On Thursday, about 200 Mexican-American students walked out of class in protest of the flag clothing incident. Members of the group waved the Mexican flag and said they were marching for respect and unity. They also demanded the school suspend the boys who wore the U.S. flag-adorned clothing.
I just wonder if I am the only one that finds it odd that the school in question sponsors an after school "Mexican Nationalist Club" (MEChA) whose mission is “as a nationalist movement we seek to free our people from the exploitation of an oppressive society that occupies our land.” and then has a "minority" assistant principal target American kids for wearing their national colors.

Keep believing there won't be a push back, keep believing that the students can use "reconquistador" slogans and yelling LaRaza (The Race) without there being a strong, and if necessary (god forbid), violent reaction. I'll remind you of your head being in the sand if it happens.
