So the north according to you had no slavery???? Completely false!! We flew the same flag then that we do today. Is that a symbol for oppression and slavery? Get your facts straight. Slavery was everywhere in this country, yet we still fly our flag.
Where is the post saying the north had no slavery?
As a twenty year educator teaching social studies the confederate flag has been and will continue to be controversial. Even the people of the south are torn over how and where it should be represented. It is a part of our history. It symbolizes the strength and unity of the south and men that gave their lives believing in their cause. It also stands for oppression , bigotry and rascism often portraying the south in a horrendous light. If those boys were from the south carrying around their flag as a badge of honor and pride from their roots then they shouldn't face any discipline but an explanation why the school believes it inappropriate. If they were carrying it around for any other reason wether it was a joke or not then the discipline they received was appropriate. Ignorance, stupidity and foolishness are not excuses. My guess is none of the were from the south.
