FOXNews.com - Teacher Chides Girl, 12, for Wearing Mexico Shirt in School, Activist Says
When Coral Avilez went to school on June 11, the seventh-grader knew two things: She would get to watch Mexico play South Africa on TV that day, and she would get to wear the Mexico shirt she had bought while on vacation earlier in the year.
What the 12-year-old didnt know was that the shirt would touch off an incident that would send her fleeing from class and spark an investigation into racial animosity.
The game was already on when Coral walked into performing arts class at Big Bear Middle School in Big Bear, Calif. As she sat and watched, her teacher saw her shirt emblazoned with the Mexican colors and, in front of the entire class, asked if she supported Mexico, according to Leroy Martinez, the vice president of the local League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC).According to Martinez, Coral thought she was being asked a soccer question, and answered yes.
Then what are you doing in my country? the teacher asked, according to Martinez.
On Monday she asked not to go back to class, and she was given two choices: sit in the principals office and read a book,or pick up trash with the janitor. Martinez said Coral felt uncomfortable in the principals office, and she opted to picked up trash.The coward should be fired. It's bad enough that racism took place, but a teacher abusing their position to take it out on a 12 year old child? Disgusting.The teacher later apologized to the class, according to local newspapers.

exactly,, too many words like "activist" and "allegedly" I'll wait for both side of the story before I fling that stupid word "racist" out there.. but that's just me.
Well, why would the teacher apologize if the teacher didn't say anything?
"according to the newspapers" okay,, you go with that.

A little girl, an activist and a Latino Supremacist organization, yes no reason to doubt the accuracy of the story.
More likely happened like this,
T: "Are you rooting for Mexico?"
S: "Yes."
T: "Why?"
S: "Because I'm Mexican!"
T: "Yet you live in America, you get a free American education and everything America has to offer."
S: "But I'm Mexican and I'm free to root for anyone one I want to, including my home country of Mexico."
T: Then why don't you go back to Mexico, its people like your parents that have no loyalty to America but have no problem taking from America, raising my taxes!
The student runs out crying!
