Officials say a potential threat has forced the closure of a central Michigan high school where students parked their pickup trucks adorned with Confederate flags outside for two days.
Bay City Public Schools Superintendent Stephen Bigelow tells The Bay City Times he has canceled classes Thursday at Bay City Western High after being informed about rumors that people planned to confront students.
WJRT-TV reports Bigelow said in a message to parents that the unsubstantiated rumors involved threats from outside the school district.
Six trucks flying or painted with the Confederate battle flag parked outside of the school on Tuesday and were joined by others on Wednesday, when they were met by a counter-demonstration against racism and bigotry.

That is grrrrreat!
I think it was the American flag(s) , not the Confederate flag(s) that scared the princy and his snowflakes.
In the 70s and 80s you saw them everywhere - bikers, Southern Rick bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, those who considered themselves to be rebels, hell the Dukes of Hazard was one of the most popular tv programs of the 80s.
Then a bunch of Leftist Yankees suddenly decided it was a hate symbol in the early 90s and were supposed to just go along with that?
Laughable BS.
Are students required to attend class these days? If not, then why am I having to pay property tax?
That’s what they are upset about!?!?!? F’in wussies.
Maybe they should bring in grief counselors for those so traumatized by this terrible, aggressive display?
Fewer repercussions that calling in a bomb threat, and still get to avoid Friday’s big math exam. Not bad.
Unknown to the rest of the country is the constant battle of Michigan Confederates against road salt.
Public schools are an abomination. Satan’s romper room.
(snicker, snicker!)
That poor pickup has serious skin cancer.
Principal
Fixed it.
