Context: In January and February, tens of thousands of high school and middle school students throughout the United States walked out of their classes to protest against our sovereign laws while waving Mexican flags. Some of the protests escalated into violence. This happened in multiple SoCal cities including Long Beach, Riverside, San Diego, Mission Viejo, Santa Clarita, Redondo Beach, Anaheim and Santa Ana.

If there was a flair called "ICE Derangement Syndrome" I'd add it.

In January and February, tens of thousands of high school and middle school students throughout the United States walked out of their classes to protest against our sovereign laws, while waving the flags of foreign countries, particularly Mexico. Some of the protests escalated into violence.

I think it's about time that these students be expelled from their schools, denaturalized, deported, and exiled to the country whose flag they are waving. It's a win-win, because we don't want them and they clearly prefer Mexico over the U.S. They hate our culture, laws, and sovereignty. In addition to deporting illegals, we should be denaturalizing and deporting their sympathizers, no matter their age.

At the very least, they need to face serious consequences that go beyond suspension. They should be given F's in all their classes, expelled from their sports teams, and lose their college admissions.

If you're a parent and your son or daughter attends such a school, pull them out of school immediately and homeschool them or go private. In a lot of these schools, 10% or more of the school participated. Imagine sending your child to a school where 10% of the student body actively hates them (and their culture and values) and possibly wants them dead.

Absolute nonsense - unless the right to get an abortion (usually late-term abortion) and change the gender of your 5-year-old child is a "basic human right".

The subreddit thinks it's insane for high schoolers who wave foreign flags on American soil while declaring that U.S. laws are invalid to be deported to the countries they like, or even to suffer serious consequences.

Also even though the trueunpopularopinion post is upvoted, every comment is disagreeing with it, and the few comments in agreement are downvoted.

This is specifically in regards to the high school anti-ICE protests. In many areas of the U.S., including everywhere in southern California (including where I live), thousands of high school students walked out of class in January and February to protest against ICE, waving signs saying "f--- Trump", "f--- ICE", "no human is illegal on stolen land", etc. and waving flags of foreign nations such as Mexico.

This happened even in red parts of red states, by the way. It didn't just happen in liberal areas, which is extra concerning.

If you love Mexico so much, why don't you move there? Why do you complain when you are sent back to Mexico, the country you love so much?

Every protester, including the high schoolers, that waved a Mexican flag at an anti-ICE protest should be instantly stripped of their U.S. citizenship and deported back to Mexico. It doesn't matter if they were born here. If they are minors, send them to Mexico with their parents.

This country would be a lot better if we criminalized waving foreign flags at anti-government protests. It should be criminalized just like "shouting fire in a crowded theater" or threatening to kill someone.

Data from the Public Religion Research Institute's 2024 American Values Survey.

States in yellow have more Catholics than Protestants.
States in dark blue have more than twice as many Protestants than Catholics.
States in light blue have more Protestants than Catholics, but less than twice as many.
Vermont has an equal number of Protestants and Catholics according to the survey.

The survey is not official census data and has a considerable margin of error. For the purposes of this report, Mormons are considered neither Protestant nor Catholic.

I live in southern California, which has a large Spanish-speaking population, but the majority language is still English. Grocery store signs are usually in English and Spanish, with the Spanish being less prominent. Schools, public and private, also have Spanish signage and there are many "dual-language immersion schools" that teach in two languages - the second language is almost always Spanish. Depending on your neighborhood, industry, and friends, there may be social or economic pressure to learn Spanish. A lot of jobs prefer bilingual candidates.

I know in Miami this effect is even stronger - Spanish is the first language of 67% of the population and many Miami residents are monolingual Spanish speakers. This TikTok video talks about the effects of not speaking Spanish in south Florida. https://www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCringe/comments/1nb39ad/when_people_complain_for_not_being_bilingual/

Miami is so Spanish even the major-league soccer team has a Spanish name.

For monolingual anglophones, how is life without Spanish in Miami?

Context: a sign on the beach in San Diego was in English, Spanish, and multiple Asian languages. https://np.reddit.com/r/sandiego/comments/1t1vp8o/what_language_is_the_fourth_row_on_the_sign_found/

They removed it without explanation after I made several comments that were heavily downvoted, including mentioning Executive Order 14224 declaring English the official language, and the fact that English (not Spanish) is the common language of government/business/education/society in California and the U.S. and city names should reflect that to encourage assimilation.

California has been part of the English-speaking United States since 1848 yet Spanish speakers insist that California should be bilingual and the language be treated the same way French is in Canada.
