I'm not an apologists for the Confederate battle flag, but this school ruling is absurd. This ranks right up with the ruling last week by a school board to uphold the suspension of the girl who had Advil in her purse.
I said on another thread this morning that my patience has ended for the nonsense in public education. I think that states should close all public schools, dole-out $2000 per child to their parents for the children's education, and then the states should plow the rest of the money spent on schools into upgrading roads. If schools actually taught kids how to write and do math, some of this nonsense could be tolerated, but schools are even educating kids anymore, so disband them all.

These"so called"complaints were no doubt a pack of lies or these weak minded students were put up to doing this!This violates free speech and i hope someday America decides it has had enough and explodes on these violators of constitutional rights!

I wonder if they'll use the same logic to prohibit the gay "rainbow" flag.

Rebel flag has no place in education As a proud Richland Rebel alumnus, I respectfully disagree with that statement.
I wonder if the ban on racially insenstitive or divisive apparel also includes FUBU.

"Principals can say they don't want rebel flags at their school," County Schools Director John O'Dell explained. Oh, really? Well how about saying they don't want Teeshirts with a picture of Malcolm X on campus. Or any reference to "Kwanzaa", or the Mexican flag?
Yes, suppose a principal says: No more Mexican flags and no more pictures of Malcolm X. That would be just fine, right Mr. O'Dell?

Is this the rebel flag?
To: Sgt_Schultze
That flag might offend our fine illegal alien students. 'Fraid it'll have to be banned.

I musta missed it: where in the constitution does it say we have a right not to be offended?

If anyone wants to paint it on the top of his mobile home, he can do so.Racist idiot. Save us from stereotypes. A few years back we passed a multi-million dollar house on Orange Beach flying the Batle flag.
