American kids do not threaten violence, so Mexican kids are not in jeopardy therefore there is no discrimination?

Also, nobody asked American kids WHY the shirts were worn, so administrators fears are taken as fact.

Do I have that right?

WHICH Mexican kids?

Was the assistant principal supposed to wait until the altercation had already begun?
If there is a history of incidents, does the assistant principal have the authority to act preemptively if the evidence shows that danger\disruption is imminent?

Are you saying that the Assistant principal should not have acted on the first indicators and should have instead waited for direct altercations between students?
