As students entered Hurley High School in Hurley, Va., for the first day of classes this week, they passed through a set of bright red doors on which the Confederate battle flag is boldly painted.

The NEA is gonna be pissed at her.
Almost forgot: GO HURLEY HIGH REBELS!!!!!!!
Sarc/
Freeloading whiners need to get jobs.
Post guards around that school, 24/7. Immediately if not sooner. There’s going to be trouble, because Obama has given the green light to the #blacklivesmatter mob.
What she’s doing is right. The Stars and Bars are an important part of American history and should be flown or displayed with and slightly underneath or in back of the American flag to symbolize the cultural magnificence of Southern Traditions. She should have an American flag on a pole in front of the entrance to the school.
The chosen means by the southern states of fighting for States Rights was misguided but not without merit. The war was not about slavery although it helped usher in its abolition.
The 17th Amendment was far more damaging to States Rights and our Republican Form of Government than was the War between the States.
Thanks. At my age it’s shocking to me to find there are still things that I thought I always knew but were not quite accurate.
NEA doesn’t represent administration.
That doesn't mean that they won't be pissed at her.
In my experience, all the power rests in the hands of school administrators. The union can’t do much but talk.
That Grossman character in the article is an idiot.
Wow! I learned something, as well. Thanks, cowboy!
Can we please use a polite word like “courage”?
Love this part:
Among the flag’s prominent supporters is the school’s lone black student. Chris Spencer, a senior running back on the football team....
Why would they have to take it down ?
The flag on the door was the battleflag of northern virginia.
That Grossman character in the article is an idiot.”
You are absolutely correct. Lincoln made it about Slavery. It was always about States Rights. And the next one, to be won by the States, will also be about States Rights, though much more than that...it will be about Constitutional Rights, Including the 1st 10 Amendments, the 11th, the 12th and the original 13th Amendment!
The Original Thirteenth Article of Amendment
To The Constitution For The United States
“If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince, or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.” [Journal of the Senate]
On March 12, 1819 the State of Virginia, with the enactment and publication of the laws of Virginia, became the 13th and FINAL state required to ratify the above article of amendment to the Constitution For The United States, thus making it the Law Of The Land. With the enactment of Act No. 280, March 12, 1819, which was Voted, En Bloc, and publication of the Revised Code, the State of Virginia notified the Department of State, the Congress, the Library of Congress, and the President of their action by issuing to each a copy of the Laws of Virginia. [See VA 1819 Images] . In fact, the Journal of the Virginia Senate; Tuesday, May 1st, 1810 (Pages 511-512 shows that the resolution to amend was properly enrolled and ratified on that date by the Virginia House and Senate, to be laid before the President of the United States, therefore the first state to ratify.
This Article of Amendment is intimately connected to questions of loyalty, honesty, war and national defense. It is designed to combat internal subversion and discord sowed by people who are adhering to powers foreign to the Congress of the United States without stepping across the bold Constitutional line of treason. The authors of the TONA wrote it after some additional experience with how the British Empire, as well as other European nations, actually conduct their affairs. It is a corrective and supplemental measure to go along with Constitutional treason.
This Article of Amendment added an enforceable strict penalty, i.e., inability to hold office and loss of citizenship, for violations of the already existing constitutional prohibition in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8 on titles of nobility and other conflicts of citizenship interest, such as accepting emoluments of any kind for services or favors rendered or to be rendered, and is particularly applicable today in the 21st Century as government is increasingly FOR SALE to the highest bidder, as foreign nations and multinational corporations and individuals compete to line the pockets of politicians and political parties to accommodate and purchase protection or privilege for their special interests, i.e. with honors, such as money or allowing dual-citizenships.
In terms familiar to the common man, this might quite properly be called the use of bribes and graft by individuals and powers foreign, i.e. external, to the Congress of the United States to subvert the constitutional process and suborn our political system and the interests of WE THE PEOPLE.
After appearing in numerous official publications until 1876, this Article “disappeared” from our Constitution, to be replaced by another made nearly 50 years later. You may well ask how such a thing could have happened. So did we.
It is of particular interes to read the last three paragraphs of the preface to”Echoes From The Cabinet,” published in 1896 .... click here .. To understand why our legislators mad it disappear.
The disappearance of the original 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been under investigation by independent modern researchers during the past -1868 years. We’ve learned a lot.
We now know that the original 13th Amendment was, and still is, the Law Of The Land.
The law is still there, waiting only to be publicly recognized and enforced once again to protect the Sovereignty and Interests of WE THE PEOPLE, and to force the elected representatives of the people to adhere strictly to their solemn and binding Oath of Office, i.e., “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” , and to the limitations of government imposed by the Constitution.
Among other things, those who swear allegiance to the BAR are included in this Amendment...they are not eligible to hold public office. No ifs, ands or buts!
