I hope all of the students bring Confederate flags.

But being concerned about a muzzie with a box of electronic clock parts is racist!

I wonder if the Johnny Reb flag will get invited to the White House.

THE ONLY REASON THE HUMAN RACE HAS SURVIVED IS DUE TO MASS PROCREATION BECAUSE THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY STUPID PEOPLE OUT THERE. IT’S JUST SHEER NUMBERS.

Will the ACLU or the Southern Poverty Law Center stand up for their free speech?

Police locked down the school but so far the flag is still at large. :-)

The sad thing is a local high school has decided to to go PC and do away with their rebel mascot and fight song.

I watched a movie MEN OF THE FIGHTING LADY the other night. One of the Jet jockys (Keenan Wynn) had a helmet with the (GASP) REBEL FLAG on it.

Better get a copy now before the movie is chopped up and banned.

How about we split the difference and I bring an alarm clock to school that plays “Dixie”?

The article does not live up to the inflammatory title and first line. All 3 were punished for disruption. The suspension had nothing to do with the Confederate Flag.

The lockdown came later in the day. Per the article the lockdown drill was i response to the rumors which kept floating around and this was the best way to get a lid on it.

History is now .... history?

“The Cambodians had to attend re-education classes in which the Khmer Rouge imposed their purpose and ideals on their people. Pran and the other Cambodians were told that the party called Angka would now provide all their needs.

They were also taught that this was Year Zero, and all pre-Revolutionary Cambodian history was to be ERASED; a lesson that resulted in the elimination of many intellectuals who could possibly thwart this objective with their pre-Revolutionary knowledge.”

What PolPot did should be a lesson to us, not a blueprint for the future!

“But later in the morning, the school was put through a lockdown drill with students kept in class after rumors of other students bringing Confederate battle flags surfaced.”

Think about that - the mere thought of a Confederate Flag led to a lockdown....and “lockdown” sounds like a term used in prison anyway.

Do you think rumors of a rainbow flag, Soviet flag, or even a Mexican flag would have resulted in a lockdown? I doubt it. But apparently a Confederate flag now poses a security risk. Something is backwards about that.

I think if this incident had been sparked by any of the flags you mentioned
this principal would have had a lockdown drill if there was a possibilty the rumors might ignite the not so nice passions of high school students.

The lockdown drill was to calm everyone down.
