Nah, let's not worry about real issues such as crime, family, academic achievement, etc. in our community. Let's get outraged about some name that happens to be a word we don't like even though we don't even understand the real history.
California can go to hell. If they want to spend their time gazing into their navels regarding whether it is moral to refer to small paper cups as “Dixie Cups” or whether to watch re-runs of “Designing Women”, starring Dixie Carter, let them. I just don’t care anymore about that hell-bound state (which is my home state, I’m ashamed to say). They can do whatever they want, up to and including becoming their own country, which I welcome.
These people are racists who hate Native Americans.
How sad.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. They’re just whistling Dixie.
Dixie.
There is a local flag manufacturing company here in San Antonio. For years, they made flags for every occasion.
Some years back, when snowflakes decided the Confederate Flag was racist, this company swallowed the lie and announced it would no longer make Confederate Flags.
The name of that company? Dixie Flag and Banner Co.
Irony is lost. Lost I say, on stupid liberals.
well, if they are going to remove ‘dixie’ as somehow offensive, than they might as well remove all northern names too, since the north and south held slaves until 1829 or so. And then we can get to the ethnic names related to slavery - anything from Africa, India, Arabia, Asian, Canada, Europe, Polynesia, on and on.
Otherwise renaming the school is nothing more than cultural genocide of a specific population.
History books are a reminder of slavery, lynchings, and segregation... Burn them all!
