Other than to point out that he is Hispanic. Why is that relevant unless you are pre-judging? Pre-judging = prejudice.

Is he? One could assume that - you certainly are. It would appear to me that you are the one who's prejudice is showing.

And...so the kids "said" they acted out of patriotism and not to be confrontational. Kids never lie when they are confronted?

Irrelevant

One news report said the kids taunted Hispanic students before being called to the principals office....of course, the kids denied it.

at least two of the boys wearing the American flag T-shirts have Mexican ancestry.

Yeh - I wish them luck with that.
Lawyer: the kids were wearing American flag T-shirts.
Judge: Yeh, so?
Lawyer: It was Cinco de Mayo.
Judge: Yeh, so?
Lawyer: So the Asst Principal Miguel Rodriguez asked them to turn them inside out. Hew felt it may be offensive to the Hispanic students.
Judge: So you think it is inappropriate for students to wear the colors and/or flag of America on their T-shirts IN AMERICA?
Lawyer: Uh, Yes sir it was potentially offensive.
Judge: Tough shit, This IS America , not Mexico. NEXT!
