Confederate flag prompts school lockdown

Fear of the Confederate battle flag led to the lockdown of a Georgia high school last week.

A sophomore student in Polk County, Georgia, walked through his high school’s cafeteria Sept. 23 with the Confederate flag on his backpack. The school went on lockdown status just hours after the white teenager had an altercation with two black students.

“They wanted to confront him about what he had on his backpack. What did they say? ‘Hey man, why you doing that?’” Principal Wesley Cupp of Rockmart High School told the Fox-5 Atlanta Sept. 25.

The school decided to conduct a lockdown drill after rumors spread of additional students having the flag at school, Fox-5 reported.

Oh yes. It’s some local black councilman that got everyone stirred up about it. Must not have been any rebel flags to complain about in that town.

There is a middle school in Orlando that changed its name from Robert E Lee to just “Lee” and they painted over the southerly gentlemen mascot on the front of the building. Happened right after the Carolina shooting/flag fiasco.

I watched the movie GETTYSBURG two days ago. I found it interesting that at the end it said Lee became the most beloved General in American History.

Well, not anymore due to the foam at the mouthers.

What confederacy? What slavery? What holocaust? What Armenia genocide? What “Onion fields”? What commie revolution in Cuba? The libs seem too eager to rewrite “alleged” history.

I find it interesting that several SLAVE states that did not join the SOUTH still had slavery under the UNION banner.

The states were..
Maryland 1864 slavery abolished.
Missouri 1865.
Break away West Virginia very pro-Union gave up slavery in 1865.
Washington DC 1862 (not a state)
Delaware Dec 18, 1865
Kentucky Dec 18, 1865.

So, after the end of the Civil War, the UNION Stars and Stripes flag still protected Slavery for eight months!

The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in Union Controlled areas of the Confederacy.

If I am in error I’m sure some FReeper will correct me.
