In one Arkansas town, the school board voted unanimously Tuesday to ban the song "Dixie" for the next school year...

Someone want to tell them that "Dixie" was written by an Ohio boy? And that Lincoln called it his favorite tune?

With the Dems, the truth doesn’t matter- it’s all about feeeeelings, however wrong they may be.

Doesn’t matter anymore. The media have been instructed to get people into a frenzy with lies and no one has any balls in public office to stand up to them now.

The North and the South were always at odds over who got to claim Dixie as “theirs”. The day after the civil war, Lincoln jokingly claimed the song for the north as spoils of war fairly won.

After the Civil War ended, I believe ABRAHAM LINCOLN asked the band to play DIXIE.

If it was good enough for Lincoln it is good enough for this school.
