fucked up
TWIN FALLS, Idaho - A high school student says he may file a lawsuit against a physical education teacher who took a Mexican flag he had brought for Cinco de Mayo and put it in the garbage.

Clint Straatman denies Froylan Camelo's version of events but said he took the flag Monday because "white kids" might have hurt the 16-year-old. He said he put it in a garbage can because he had no place else to keep it.
Camelo said he was changing into gym clothes at Minico High School in Rupert when Straatman told him, "Give me the flag."
"I said, 'What's the problem?'" Camelo, speaking in Spanish, told The Times-News of Twin Falls. "He said, 'The problem is that we are in the United States and not in Mexico.' He grabbed it from me. He threw the flag in the garbage can."
Camelo said that Straatman told him the flag would be returned at the end of the school day, but that Straatman taunted him instead.
"I asked, 'Where is my flag?'" Camelo said. "He said, 'What, the U.S. flag?' I said, 'No, the one for Mexico.' But he wouldn't give it to me."
Camelo said he then took the undamaged flag out of the garbage. He said he's been contacted by the American Civil Liberties Union and is considering a lawsuit against Straatman.
Camelo and others brought Mexican flags to the south-central Idaho school to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, the May 5 recognition of Mexico's victory over the French army on that day in 1862. About a third of the student body is Hispanic.
Straatman denied saying the words Camelo attributed to him, and said the student may have misunderstood him because of his poor English skills. He said he took the flag from Camelo after Camelo had been waving it in the school gym, and denied withholding it later.
"I had to confiscate it so it wouldn't escalate any problems in class," Straatman told The Times-News. "We're worried about that stuff all the time. We always have kids saying stuff to each other, and we have a lot of fights between kids."
Scott Rogers, superintendent of the Minidoka County Joint School District, said an investigation has been started. He said he could not comment specifically about personnel decisions.
"We believe in nondiscriminatory practices and cultural sensitivity," he said. "We train for that and talk about that. If there is a teacher making derogatory comments we don't approve of that. We also don't approve of a student disrupting the classroom."
Rogers said he was at the school early Wednesday and that the school was quiet. He said he noticed a few students wearing clothing in the colors of the Mexican flag — red, white and green — in protest of Monday's incident.

Hey you guys,
And girls, people is more like it? Idk, who reads this aways? Im listening ti riding high. Wearing pink socks. John called me, I could hear your voice in the back. Everyone here is going to the drop dead gorgeous concert tonight. Im not sure if I wanna go to the mall tomorrow. Sav just imed me. She's getting readt for the show. Im thinking of the text, I know it wasn't true but still sucks. Beautiful day it is today. Its got a breeze to it. I watched a lot of batman on youtube today. Lizzy? Emily? How's it going? Ha can I even say your names in the same sentence without a mushroom cloud effect? Idk. Haven't talked to you two in forever. Got a feeling one of you dosent like me too much..... im now looking at the bat logo on scarfaces face. Im blogging from my phone. Think squirt looked for me? I can't feel my heartbeat, think she could feel it? Sweat, racing heartbeat, I want more. I want more...... the more we have the more we want? Like ville said? Think if I close my eyes and focus real super hard that I could open a portel that'll lead me to whereever I want to go? Right now I'd go to london, the off to see the pyramids, then the el paso, mexico, pittsburgh, id see the seven wonders of the world too. Joey just called but im in no mood to talk to anyone. So I hit ignor. I wish I could have a mix of hawk girls's, superman's, and gl's powers. Wings of a hawk, the heat vison of superman, strentgh, and gl's ring. The green rings are powered by will power. The other colors are powered by hope, love, rage, hope, greed, and other things. I feel weak and alone. it'll pass tho. I can be strong. Imma cut the grass to get my mind of things, comment please. Bye, axel.... ace reporter
