It's not even cinco de Marzo, but one California high school is already dealing with Cinco de Mayo. On Thursday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals referenced the 1960 Tinker v. Des Moines Indep. Comm. School Dist. case as it reaffirmed the Morgan Hills Unified School District's decision to ban students from wearing American flag T-shirts on the Mexican holiday. The school banned the shirts in 2010, after an altercation on Cinco de Mayo in 2009 between mostly Caucasian and mostly Mexican groups of students over US and Mexican flags, shirts and chants. RT's Liz Wahl reports on the decision that school authorities are reasonably able to "forecast substantial disruption of or material interference with school activities."
