In 2007, Dixie College in St. George, Utah changed its name from the Rebels to the Red Storm and discontinued the use of the Confederate flag.

In 2007 Dixie College in St. George, Utah applied for State University status as part of an expansion effort which includes a campus in..Hurricane Utah.

What conservative principle would you cite that prevents them from changing their team name to the Red Storm?

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said that that they should have been prevented from changing their name.

I'm too busy to re-fight the War of Southern Independence with you. If you're happy with political correctness, then so be it.

It seems only natural that a school called Dixie College would call itself the Rebels. You seem to find that name objectionable. Why?
