WJPBR Email News List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Peace at any cost is a Prelude to War! Tuesday, February 26, 2002 School marks Mexican Flag Day Consul general presents pupils with banner By Elia Gonzalez The Californian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- For the first time in Salinas, the Mexican consul general from San Jose, Marco Antonio Alcázar, celebrated Mexican Flag Day at Bardin Elementary School on Monday. "This is exciting because there are many children in this city, who were born in United States, whose parents are Mexicans," Alcázar said. "And these children have the opportunity now to enjoy two different nationalities and be proudly American and proudly Mexican." Thanks to a law enacted in March 1998, all U.S.-born children of Mexican parents have the right to automatically obtain Mexican citizenship, he said. In front of more than 200 children from fifth and sixth grades, most of whose parents are originally from Mexico, Alcázar presented the Mexican flag to sixth-grader, Yesenia Hernández, and an escort of five girls. The Mexican national anthem also was performed amid a respectful silence from students, teachers and guests. "I'm proud to carry the Mexican flag," said Hernández, whose parents are from the city of Chavinda, Michoacán. Hernández, whose parents are from the city of Chavinda, Michoacán. Alcázar also gave the school two Mexican flags and a complete collection of educational books from the Mexican government, intended to help students understand Mexican history and culture. "This is the first time a school in Salinas has celebrated this Mexican holiday," said Principal Jorge Olveda. Salinas Mayor Anna Caballero said the day was historic, "not only for the gift of the Mexican flag, but for the books, because literacy is very important -- reading and speaking Spanish." Also present as special guests were Monterey County supervisors Fernando Armenta and Lou Calcagno, Superior Court Judge Jose Angel Velazquez and Salinas City Councilman Ernesto Gonzalez. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U.
