Confederate flag prompts school lockdown

Fear of the Confederate battle flag led to the lockdown of a Georgia high school last week.

A sophomore student in Polk County, Georgia, walked through his high school’s cafeteria Sept. 23 with the Confederate flag on his backpack. The school went on lockdown status just hours after the white teenager had an altercation with two black students.

“They wanted to confront him about what he had on his backpack. What did they say? ‘Hey man, why you doing that?’” Principal Wesley Cupp of Rockmart High School told the Fox-5 Atlanta Sept. 25.

The school decided to conduct a lockdown drill after rumors spread of additional students having the flag at school, Fox-5 reported.

Several students were reportedly also "armed" with confederate flags. Stupid is as stupid does. Too bad civics isn't taught any longer. Will there be a trip to 'mofree' town because of this insulting act? What ever happended to "Sticks and Stones......"?

“Hey, cool flag!

Maybe you should bring it up to the White House!”

-B. Obama

“Oh s*#$! Just saw the photo. You aren’t a Muslim kid. Dont come!!!”

-B. Obama

[The student’s twitter account was later blocked by the White House]

Maybe next time Ahmed creates a fake bomb he should draw a confederate flag on the case. That would generate some attention!

Not long ago kids were wearing Confederate flag t-shirts and more. This shows the power of political correctness to effect radical change almost overnight. It’s not a slippery slope, it’s a vertical cliff.

South Florida is changing the name of Old Dixie Highway to Barock Obama Highway, because the old name is mean.

I’m sure that wearing the Gay flag would be perfectly acceptable.

Yes, it obviously “race-ist”. What with the colors red and blue and ‘white’ in the paint scheme. And it rolls on ‘black’ tires which would be symbolic of crushing ‘blacks’. Or something. I’m sure the splc can make some sort of message out of that. And hey. What about those ‘black’ buns that Burger King is advertising? Gotta be something to that. Sheesh.
