Wouldn’t bother me a bit. Back in the 1990s when the Malcolm “X” T-shirts were worn quite a bit, my oldest daughter use to wear a “you got your X, I’ve got my X” Confederate Flag shirt to high school from time to time. I was actually proud of her and most of the students did not care one bit. I certainly could tell that she was my daughter. :)
I’m not seeing what is controversial about it.
Seriously.
A lot of people are all about states rights. And that is what that flag represents. There are a few ignorant rubes that think it’s about slavery. That’s like saying the cops are about Ford because they drive Crown Vics.
What’s even more amazing is that this Fox station decided to send out a reporter and devote resources to reporting this ‘news’.
Have they repainted the Dodge Charger used on the Dukes of Hazzard yet?
They had a Confederate Battle Flag painted on the Roof.
Actually, I saw a clone Charger being used in an Auto Trader Commercial. No Flag painted on the roof.
Time to erase History to make everyone fat and happy.
I can imagine how these sillies would have wet themselves to see my brother bringing his rifle on the school bus to use in rifle club after school, and me as a fifth grader carrying the box of bullets.
I guess the only thing that is not going to offend anyone will be pictures of Americans in chains.
Good grief. And to think our junior-high school mascot was a cartoon of a grizzled old Rebel soldier, and EVERY single one of our school’s annual yearbooks featured the Confederate Flag in its cover design. This was in the 1970s.
“High School Students Spark Controversy With Prom Photo Holding Guns In Front Of Confederate Flag”
The lib MSM will condemn this yet will defend scumbags who dance, burn, spit etc. on the US flag.
“Could be construed as racist” OK let the jihad to destroy their lives commence.
Battle standard, not any of the various Confederate flags.
I guess nobody in Colorado ever attended a Lynard Skynard concert.
Citizens arrest!
Well I guess Colorado is a sympathetic part of the Confederacy as they didn’t get to be a state til 1876. But that’s OK. Welcome to Dixie boys and girls. :-)
The chub girl appears to be nonwhite.
Is she self hating or something?
...photo that could be construed as being racist.

Went to the site just so I could view the photo myself. I cannot figure out the racism angle. Makes no sense.
Slave re-enactor?
Colorado may not have been part of the confederacy but lots of folks from down south have moved here. Natives are an endangered species here.
