I agree this is very wrong. The flag is our country's (and any country's) symbol and as such should be respected. That said, these are kids just trying to bring their point across, and not doing it in a very helpful way. It is though in response to society's rejection of them, their friends, their relatives, or whomever they happen to be supporting in this debate (on illegal immigrants) and all the negative rhetoric they are hearing.

The adults responsible should be held accountable. They should not have been allowed to continue with this disruptive behavior. The adults were either very stupid pro-immigrants, or very savvy anti-immigrant.
