This email is ...No offense, but I don't agree. This email is full of factual inaccuracies. <br />I'm trying to push back, with respect, on a trend of misleading emails.<br /><br />The first half of this email is a list of things done at schools, involving the flags.<br />The description of the first case about the Mexican flag was incorrect. The flag was not run up a pole by a student. Its display was sanctioned by the school and it was hung alone on a balcony railing. According to his mother, the student took the Mexican flag down and threw it away.<br />There are more details, by the mother, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO8MGmoVgGU<br />In the second case of the flag shirts, the vice principal thought that wearing Flag shirts and bandannas on Cinco de Mayo was inviting conflict. Instead of helping both sides accommodate and respect each other, the students were sent home. The administration says the vice principal handled it badly. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2010-05-06/news/27063738_1_american-flag-shirts-mexican-americans<br /><br />The second half of this email came from here<br />http://bsimmons.wordpress.com/2008/06/25/4706/<br />And I want to add a correction to that writer's claim about Social Security<br />from http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/apr2006/pi20060407_072803.htm<br />"Ilegal immigrants pay social security payroll taxes but are not eligible for benefits. During 2006, Standard & Poor's analysts wrote: "Each year, for example, the U.S. Social Security Administration maintains roughly $6 billion to $7 billion of Social Security contributions in an "earnings suspense file" -- an account for W-2 tax forms that cannot be matched to the correct Social Security."<br /><br />So Social Security gets extra billions EACH YEAR that will support citizens, not the illegals who put in the money.<br /><br />What the two parts share, besides a flag theme is a Mexican theme, and the posting by Christina Elizabeth below addresses that.<br />Go there and read it.<br />*****<br />"I got this email today. I didn’t forward it. You know why?"<br />Posted by Christina Elizabeth ⋅ May 28, 2010 http://kikisdeal.com/2010/05/28/i-got-this-email-today-i-didnt-forward-it-you-know-why/A readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065907472453217439noreply@blogger.com
