I have a pretty extensive collection Mickey Mouse themed US Flag based lapel pins. That's about as close to emblazoning as I would get. Mrs. Buzz does have a decent stash of US Flag emblazoned t-shirts, mostly from prior USA Holidays, and since she's like 50 years removed from school, if she wants to wear one on Cinco de Mayo, I ain't gonna stop her. OTOH, as much as she likes to pound down her cervezas and margaritas, if wearing her US Holiday wares on possibly offensive non-US Holidays is in any way gonna jam up her boozing, I'd suspect she'd shy away from doing so on her own.
I had a few Mickey pins from the 70's, 80's, & 90's, but after 9/11, I took the patriotic/flag pins pretty seriously, and wore them daily for several years. The last few years they've been reserved for special occasions only. I appreciate that schools might not always be the most appropriate venue for kids to be strutting their flagware, but would hope that the issue doesn't get blown up out of proportion. We have plenty of other (more pressing) issues to deal with deal with these days.
