I cleaned it up a little bit. Let's find the facts instead of throwing biased statements out without backup. Chadlupkes 16:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd question whether the flag thing is relevant enough to be mentioned, especially without any references at all. --Bonadea 15:44, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References have since been added. I do think it should be mentioned, as it's in the Urban Legends Reference Pages (Snopes.com) and continues to be discussed on e-mail around the Internet a year later, often without explanation that it wasn't Montebello students who inverted the flags. So it's notable by Wikipedia standards. Lawikitejana 13:49, 9 July 2007

The relevance has nothing to do with which high school the students were from that did this. The issue goes far beyond. Also, it is a distortion to say "one student" did this. It is clear (see photos) that many students were involved, present, and supportive.(UTC)

Where were the teachers in all this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.102.0.213 (talk) 03:02, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was a student at Montebello High School when this incident happened. It was one student who did it, and he was not a MHS student. Montebello Students were in lock-down when word got to our principal that nearby high school students were marching towards MHS. He broke the lock on the flag and changed the flag. The rest of the people from his school were trying to break the locks on our gates since our school was on lock-down. Teachers, the Principal, Vice-principals, and security guards were trying to stop students from leaving the campus. Once the Rancho High School students got the doors open the teachers told students to march on the streets to avoid being hit by cars, and the Montebello Police department escorted the students to ensure their safety. The students from Montebello High School were ashamed of what that one student did. No one in the school supported the action by this student. There were students who believed that they were marching for a right cause, however, the American flag being turned upside down was too much.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.93.35.126 (talk) 19:49, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
