A far better example. Never once seen any students sent home for wearing a US flag, in their own nation, during the 17th of may which is the Norwegian independence day.
To be fair, the Norwegians here don't make a big deal out of it, and you don't get free margaritas on that day during happy hour at the bar.

Freedom fries is a political euphemism for French fries in the United States. The term came to prominence in 2003 when Congress officially renamed the menu item in Congressional cafeterias in response to France's opposition to the proposed invasion of Iraq.

I would say that considering the size of Norway, it's a pretty big deal globally. I mean obviously not as big as Cinco De Mayo in the US, but unless waving the US flag would go along with chants of. 'We don't take kindly to your kind round here' then there is really is nothing wrong with having the flag on said day in their own nation no less.
Though that being said, chances may be that said student was suspended due to a teacher fearing for his safety. but it would still not be the right course of action to take.

Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".
Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

I am against political correctness, due to its biased nature. One can say "white trash" but never "nigger". One can support homosexuality, but will be protested if their against it, etc...
Oh and I've never met any black person who insisted on being called 'African-American'. Ever.
It's too much work for EVERYONE involved.
