Your comparing wearing a T-shirt to refusing to say the Pledge of Allegience, man get a grip. I bet if you asked every one of those kids to say the Pledge, none of them would hesitate. Then ask the whole class to recite it & see which ones refused, I bet I could give you preview of the ones who would refuse and their not the ones wearing the Rebel flag t-shirts.

I think that as a generalization, you're correct. At my school (grades 7-12), it is common to see about 2-3% of the student body wearing the Confederate flag on any given day, and about 5% of the cars in the parking lot also sport stickers or license plates with one as well. (The school is about 5% black.) We recite the pledge every morning, at all grade levels, and the participation is very close to 100%... BUT... the one young lady in my class who does not recite the pledge (she does stand) is the same girl who made a Confederate Flag poster for her art project (she brought it in my class yesterday)... so there's at least ONE counter-example out there. =^/
