Time for schools to go to a dress code. Someone is going to be offended by just about everything, so put them all in the same garb and then the kids can worry about things other than what they are wearing.
I imagine that I, and the other 9 out of 10 white guys who aren't racist, are getting sick unto death of having southern heritage insulted. And it is a heritage issue. June 3rd my home state of Kentucky observes Confederate Memorial Day. Many times my dad will fly the stars and bars on this day. And I got no problem with that.
This is another instance of hard-left liberal infestation of our school infrastructure by people like Ward Churchill. We have to take back our schools, and put Americans in charge.
Obviously Crummel's concern for "everyone's sensitivity" doesn't include the girls sensitivity.
I guess my idea for Mohammed purses would be a non-starter, then.
Don't worry - it's all being done in the name of free speech/expression...

We could eliminate SO many problems in our society if we could eradicate this goofy notion that there's a right in this country to not be offended. The problem is that 99.9% of the time, the defensive party caves in, instead of standing up and saying, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH."
In Houston, they're about to change the name of the soccer team, currently named HOUSTON 1836, because Latinos are offended because that's the year Texas won its independence from Mexico. Uh...excuse me, but...if you don't celebrate that fact, why the HECK are you living in Texas?
I could of course list a gazillion other examples, but you good folks know exactly what I mean. One nutjob can scream, "I'm offended!" and the relevant establishment goes into a wild scramble to appease them. And of course the MSM fans the flames at every opportunity.

"Burleson High School, with 2,200 students, is about 90 percent white and 8 or 9 percent Hispanic. There are few blacks.
"We want to be sensitive to everyone [and] make it comfortable in school for all our students," Mr. Crummel said."
It's all about numbers.
Majority rules and the confederate flags should stay. It's about our legacy! It's about what our forefathers wished - a nation of our progeny.
I wonder if these school officials would ban the U.S. flag if someone found it to be offensive?
