No, the Confederate flag should not be banned in schools. I would never deny a person's right to freedom of speech. But for those who feel compelled to wear it to school, I ask only one thing: Think about what you're doing.

How do you feel about Malcom X caps? Gangsta Rap artist jackets? Che Guevara shirts?

Wearing "formal FUBU" to court dates? [I saw that one -- first time I ever saw FUBU on clothing -- no kidding.]

Driving around in a "boom car" with the stereo turned up, just to annoy white people with rap lyrics about capping white ho's/cops/mutha********s?

Carrying a Lorcin .380 to school and then showing it around/having it accidentally go off/shoving it in a teacher's face/capping an out-ethnic student/teacher?

Playing boom boxes on buses?

Following little old ladies home and mugging them in their own driveways?

Doing hot prowls/burglaries/assaults in homes in melanin-deficient neighborhoods?

Drive-bys on people who annoy you?

Jacking someone for her ride by blowing her brains out at a red light?

Sometimes I feel "divided" when stuff like that happens in my hometown, in my neighborhood, around the corner and down the street. Maybe I'm just not liberal enough. Maybe I ought to read another Theodora Bartimus column about accepting people the way they are.
