Perhaps someone was flying a kite with the Star of David or even an American Flag kite could cause that kind of excitment ...

I think they're trying to make a realistic "Day of the Dead" celebration.

Way to invoke the PC police! If you think about it, it will happen.

A place where flying a kite is not a kids activity!

I think they may keep the ban going for a while longer, don't you?

Actually no - I think they should lift the ban and let them string themselves up with kites till the end of time! It will keep them occupied.
