A California high school principal has apologized for telling five students they couldn't wear U.S. flag shirts on Cinco de Mayo, the local superintendent said Friday.

Tensions at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill had risen in the wake of the decision to forbid the shirts, as the students who wore the shirts defended their right to show their patriotism -- even on a Mexican holiday -- while a large group of Hispanic students staged a walkout Thursday in protest. (Those are the kids who should be expelled. An Illegal walkout?)

"This has certainly been a very difficult time for our school district," Superintendent Wesley Smith said in prepared remarks delivered Friday at a news conference.Didn't have to be if the Superintendent Wesley Smith hadn't forgotten School dress code policy

Smith affirmed that students are free to wear patriotic clothing on campus, but the campus also must be kept "orderly and safe." (Breaking policy isn't one of the ways. If there is a violence or threat of, that's what cops are for.)

"School leaders have to make judgment calls on when to take preventative measures to pre-empt a possible incident or conflict," Smith said. "In this situation, it appears that a decision was made too quickly." (UH, DUUUH!

California Students Sent Home for Wearing U.S. Flags on Cinco de Mayo

Superintendent Smith described freedom of expression as "a sacred American value" and said the lesson learned is that it should be celebrated "thoughtfully and fairly."

"It is unfortunate that some people want to leverage their personal agendas off of this incident," Smith said, noting the national media attention on the school.

I can remember a time when wearing an American flag was considered disrespectful to the flag.
