What a surprise to see my article on here! I was so happy to read all the comments posted here from so many Southerners. It's great to be reminded that there are normal (i.e. conservative!) people out there in the world--being up in Itahca I sometimes forget that we are the MAJORITY! Thanks for reading, y'all!

Welcome to FR vdd2 - excellent article. Thanks for writing in - you have the support of many conservatives 'round here. Best of luck in your studies my friend.

" It is why black Southerners will proudly call themselves Southern and will fly the Confederate flag. The South is, above all, a cultural entity."

Mr. H.K.Edgerton is the perfect living example of this
modern day honorable pride .

Because the United States Supreme Court has ruled in favor of protecting the freedom of speech exercised in displaying the stars and bars, Ithaca High School had to claim that the flag was creating some sort of disruption in the school that hindered the educational process. No specific instances were mentioned in the administration’s letter.

First of all I find it hard to believe that white children in upstate NY have any historical/cultural reason for displaying the confederate battle flag on their person.

Beyond that, do you think the high school's action could have been in response to a recent Stabbing on the Cornell campus with racial overtones and the fallout it caused on campus and within the community?

Rather than trampling on the precious first amendment rights of their pimply faced charges, perhaps the safety minded high school administrators were justifiably responding to recent events taking place at YOUR school?

I'll leave the obvious irony regarding someone so prone to southern regional bias attending such a citidal of Yankeedom for another time.

Cheers.
