Immigration tensions spark flag-burning in A.J.
By Blake Herzog, Tribune
March 31, 2006 This week’s tensions over immigration reform literally caught fire in the East Valley on Thursday when students raised a Mexican flag over Apache Junction High School — and then other students yanked it down and burned it.
“I know (they) shouldn’t have burned the Mexican flag,” said Jacob Stewart, a 16-year-old sophomore. “I heard it was raised above the American flag and that just irked me.”
He said the turbulence was tied to the newsmaking debates in the state Legislature and in Congress, where ideas from offering illegal immigrants a chance at citizenship to making them felons are being considered.
Freshman Chelsea Garcia, 15, and junior Brittany Ramage, 16, said the unrest had more to do with longrunning racial tensions at the school.
“(This week’s events) might have sparked a little more anger,” Ramage said. “But kids are not very deep about that stuff.”
The Hispanic student who brought the Mexican flag said he was responding to a racist remark directed at him Wednesday. The flagraising, flag-burning and shoving match that followed happened before most students arrived at school.
Six students — three Hispanic and three white — will be disciplined, principal Chad Wilson said.
Officials with the Apache Junction Unified School District would not specify what kind of punishment the six students face.
Wilson said in a letter sent home to parents that there would be “increased supervision, including additional police officers, on the campus over the next couple of days.”
District spokeswoman Carol Shepherd said the additional security was being brought in as a precaution.
“It’s one of those situations where if you didn’t have additional security and something did happen, we’d be challenged by parents about why we didn’t do anything,” she said.
Wilson said the increased security would include four off-duty police officers the district hired as security guards, along with its regular school resource officer.
By early afternoon Thursday, district officials said the environment on campus had sufficiently calmed down to continue preparing students to take Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards test next week.
“It’s much more conducive to quality learning today than it could have been,” Superintendent Gregory Wyman said.
Shepherd said parents were calling the district office about false rumors their children had brought home: “That the American flag had been burned — not true. That this had happened four or five times before — not true.”
The confrontation happened at the flagpole in front of the school’s Navy ROTC building, but Maj. Bill Parker, one of the organization’s advisers, said he did not know whether any of his students were involved.
He said ROTC provides diversity training to all its students, and about 20 percent of his NJROTC students are Hispanic.
About 17 percent of the overall student body is Latino, according to the district.
Wilson said he e-mailed teachers separately Thursday about the incident, but left it up to them to decide if and how they should address the issue in their classrooms.
He emphasized that six out of the school’s 1,618 students were involved in the flag fight, and many students might not have the same problems dealing with the racially charged immigration debate.
School flagpoles have been lightning rods across the country this week, including an incident in which a Houston high school principal was disciplined after he flew a Mexican flag underneath his campus’ U.S. and state flags.
A new political awareness among high school students has also been grabbing attention, as thousands of teenagers have walked out ofclasses to join rallies nationwide.
More than 100 students from Mesa’s Carson Junior High and Westwood High schools marched in protest on Mesa streets Tuesday.
Organizers of last Friday’s protest that drew 20,000 people of all ages and shut down miles of 24th Street in Phoenix are gearing up for another one on April 10.
During a news conference Wednesday, they begged high school students not to join in until after school lets out.
Former Mesa resident Mercedes Mercado-Ochoa, who attended the conference as a member of Unidos in Arizona, said many of the students are part of struggling families and may be the American-born children of illegal immigrants.
She said the way to get kids to protest responsibly is to provide them with positive role models, rather than encourage bad choices such as those made on both sides of the Apache Junction dispute.
“We need to be educating them on what César Chávez was all about — he wasn’t a boxer,” she said.
“And about Martin Luther King — what he wanted for the people.”

Stupid high school students. Flipping, shitting, burning, pissing, on flags during an issue where nationalism has nothing to do with the issue at hand. And idiots like yourself gobble it up.

You have no idea how dumb you sound, do you? You're a joke.

you didn't burn the flag, and if you were there, you'd hide in the girls bathroom 'till it was all over... coward

I write articles for DubCNN, you know, this thing called the Junkyard... you should read it... it's actually pretty good. People like it. I think they'd ban you before they'd ban me. Besides, I've been here since day one, check my profile. I feel pretty secure you'd be banned first.

Real American lost this debate

now... let me respond to this ARTICLE right, not CWalker.
I think that with every reaction there is a reaction. The Latin students who did this should know that eventually white students would respond, and respond they did. In LA, it may have looked cool, but LA has a huge Latin majority, so like in Minnesota where I am at now, if the whites wanted to riot, protect, and do whatever they wanted to other ethnic flags, they could. Same with LA. Outside LA, you try that, you are not going to get far. Americans will take a peaceful protest, but dissing the country will cause a negative reaction. Instead, they should have not tried to be unrashional and just stupit, and actually planned the thing out. A good old fashion American protest is more helpful than dissing the American flag. After all, when you are outside, don't be surprised when they out number you, and then you actually have to find the best way to get your point across.

What exactly is the point of putting the Mexian flag above the American flag? These people want immigrants to live here and not Mexico...so they fly the Mexican flag over the American flag? Does that make any sense.
It is racism pure and simple.

ok so we got mexicans and rednecks arguing in here, theyre on the same level so its not gonna go anywhere. burning a mexican flag was a little too much but so is raising a mexican flag over american. matter o fact, theyre both two pieces of cloth and really both actions amount to comparing dick sizes and thats all this is turning into. i doubt America is going to criminalize 12 million ppl but they sure arent gonna open the flood gates for bunch of raggedy 3rd worlders, it would be like miami in the 80's on a huge scale; drugs, crime, pollution would all increase and everyone knows it. SO, people need to calm down and not get heated about the immigration issue. it will only lead to more childish shit like the flags thing. the us government will reach a decision which will be a hard bargain for both sides, but thats usually what happens.
-
but for the record if they were playin with the flags at my school i'd burn an oversized stuffed tweety bird. u know that would crush their spirits.

Yes I agree.. you did further prove to us that you're nothing but a retarded Polack, and no noteworthy response was expected on your part... anyways, the big move to Afghanistan isn't scheduled for years... gotta leech off this system for a while longer.

At least you admit what you are.

Yup... it's the government's choice to fund my education with your tax money... nobody forced them to... plus all these white people were willing to hand me scholarships... and all I'm gonna end up doing is bouncing... so basically I'm just using certain resources without holding any allegiance to Amerikkka... you mad??

Not really. I'd pay as much money as possible to send y'all back.
But you and I both know you aren't going anywhere...

What do you mean by "back"? I was born here. I'm an American citizen. :)
Or you mean back to my parents' country... like Poland is in your case... LOLL fucking Polack... all you're doing is proving to us that the stereotype about the average Polack having an IQ of 46 is true.
Anyway, don't you have some gay porn to watch... (of course the guys would have to be white)..?

when peopel are arguing about this issue i can see why people feel the way they do ......wait let me restate that when INTELLEGENT people are aguing about this issue, i can see why people feel the way they do on both sides.
what i HATE is when all the white AND BLACK (black people are getting in on this too) people say " go back to mexico"......wtf most of us were BORN here, and if anything THEY (those whites and blacks) need to take their asses back to england and Congo or wherever the fuck they came from cuz you are in a BROWN MAN's land
also what i hate is that mexicans are doing is throwing the mexican flag around because of this, most of them weren't throwing it around before , it's like they're not throwing it around to rep the people but to rep the country.and it irks also because........we're not living in that country , that's what this whole thing is about, people trying to GET OUT of that country. one thing that i saw and thought was cool was an american flag in red white and green. We're Mexican americans and we're trying to fight for the rights of those meixcans who want to join us as MEXICAN AMERICANS.

agreed. I don't mind the Mexican flags, 'cause I got one, though it has Natives instead of the eagle because I am Mexican yes, and the eagle was a Native sign yes, but I am about the people and my blood. I don't need a real Mexican flag because I am Mexican American. I will fight for more Mexicans to have the chance to come here. A red white and green flag would be sweet. It is truly a way to show our culture right now.
-
I was there when they put the Mexican flag over the U.S. flag
It happened because they werent letting the kids out so they just got the mexican flag and put it on. The whole march was tight though,to see all your people just marching for a better life for their familes.
People say that we are looking stupid for walking out. They say u need your education. The truth is they are losing 28 dollars for each student, and they lost alot of money. I dont care if it affects our schools cause if we didnt march we might not be in those schools if our family is deported we will probably have to go wit them.
They say we werent organized like the march on Saturday in LA. The LA march happened one day and everybody forgot about it the next day. These school walkouts have got alot and i mean alot more exposure. And you know what, Most of us arent immigrants but it shows you how many people will be affected directly if this law passes.
They say theres millions of illegal immigrants but you got to double it or triple it really cause we got families and the immigrants have to support their family and if their deported then their families are probably going too.

What are you talking about? The illegal immigrants from Mexico pretty much cut in line in front of people all over the world waiting to immigrate to the US. Then when they get here they eventually become citizens.........so they are the ones getting special treatment, not anyone else.
You are a Haitian who moved to the US right? If so, why are you bashing "Euros" and praising Mexicans??? I don't see Mexico letting Haitians move into Mexico do you?
