ok for those who dont know Cinco de Mayo is not a major celebration in Mexico only in Puebla and some southern states. The whole battle was only a temporary victory cause a year later the French Defeated the Mexicans and invaded Mexico City. At most the people of Puebla only have a parade to comemerate those who partook in the battle but it isnt a major celebration. its only celebrated in the U.S. as another excuse to give 4 tacos for $1 or $5 beer buckets. LOL It became a celebration in the U.S. during th 60's when the chicano movement was taking place. I personally see it as a victory but not to the extent where ima throw a party. as for the kid who almost got suspended for wearing the american t shirt it was unfair i can see where the contraversy lies.
