“Who was inciting the violence?”
The White-American boys. They knew exactly what they were doing. It’s a Mexican-American holiday, period. Those with Mexican heritage are going to celebrate freely, or should be allowed to celebrate it. To show up waving or wearing your US “colors” is in a way saying. “Yeah, you are a Mexican, so don’t celebrate your holidays here.”

That’s why I brought up Saint Ubaldo’s Day. It’s HUGE in Italy, as well as here in the USA; it’s huge in Jessup PA where the largest concentration of Italian descendants live. Everybody wears the colors of the three saint teams, waving italian flags, participating in Italian customs. Nobody sneers at them and says "if you want to celebrate in my country as if you are Italian go back to Italy. This is the USA”

These boys didn’t pay for their lawyer and drag this nonsense through court on their own. Adults did. Adults that didn’t want to reasonably look at the pain and suffering caused by their sons for not letting AMERICANS with Mexican heritage celebrate their holiday in peace.

The boys were ask to remove or turn their shirts around because they were inciting violence.

It's a ginned up celebration propagated by mexican restaurants and bars. Frankly, I was looking forward to celebrating it down here. nada.
"The court also rejected a claim that the white students suffered discrimination because others who wore the colors of the Mexican flag were not required to change. There was a practical reason for the distinction, the court said. Only those wearing American flag shirts were targeted for violence."-LA Times
who was inciting the violence?

Right you are.

One of the most important things to learn in life is to disobey. Civil disobedience is a potent weapon. Learn to use it. Do not run from conflict; win it.

It's fear. They did it to protect students wearing the flag from Latino aggressors. It says so in the article. They aren't scared of Chinese or irish violence. It's the same motive that was behind the video that supposedly caused the Benghazi incident. They are scared to provoke barbarians, so they censor. It's a shame.

Clearly the students that make an issue out of the US Flag don't really want to be here. I offer to pay for any of their families tickets "home".

It actually has nothing to do with independence. It was a catchy name that was used to disguise Communist rallies and is huge in Europe. I've seen them and there is nothing Mexican or independence-minded in them - they are emblazoned with the communist hammer and sickle and are big party rallies for the Communist parties of their various kinds in the EU nations.

Americans have made it into a Mexican thing, but to Mexicans it's not a big deal except as an excuse to hold pro-Mexican and immigration rallies here in the US.

No, it isn't actually. The words are Spanish, but not the "holiday". The Communists in Europe celebrate this every year and though the name varies, the ones I saw were always staged with protests and demonstrations which are anti-business, pro-union affairs. Cinco de Mayo just has a lot nicer ring than "Annual Socialism Love Fest". ;)

I think those kids should instead bring US flags with them and have US flag stickers and pins ALL OVER their book covers and various other things.
