The non-sequiturs are a target-rich environment here. I’ll have to decide which one to pick ;’)
I grew up in a city where one of the local high schools had the Rebel mascot and they flew the confederate battle flag at their sports events. Their mascot wore the confederate enlisted uniform and carried a replica musket.
I just checked and apparently the school mascot is still the Rebel. I don’t know if they still fly the stars and bars at their sporting events or if their mascot still wears the confederate uniform. I would clearly be surprised if they allowed him to carry a replica of a confederate musket.
I tend to think that these days their mascot is some generic non threatening multi cultural rendition of something they can refer to as a Rebel.
