School's 'Redneck Day' sparks anger

I think it's funny, and is a pretty perfect example of being overly PC.  From what it sounds like, "redneck day" was a regular occurrence at my high school.  Once black kids starting wearing the shirts with a big X for Malcolm X, our country boys started wearing Confederate Flag shirts, noting this is my X.  Everyone got bored of it after a couple of months.  From the story is doesn't appear there were any racially aimed activities. Just adults over reacting.  Now the kids will just want to wear the shirts more.

If people stopped getting offended by the Confederate flag, it would go away pretty quickly.

conversely, if people stopped displaying the confederate flag so proudly, it would go away as well.  it most certainly serves as a symbol of "white pride" (for lack of a better way to express it) for many, and should be offensive.  people know not to wear swastikas on their clothing.  how is this different?

You, Sir, make me laugh.

You beat me to it. I'm OK with the principal talking to the student about the Confederate Flag, but the rest of it is nonsense. I smell frivolous lawsuit.

Over the years I have learned that some people will find any excuse to be offended, and that other people will use any excuse to offend other people.

Life is way to short to go around making other people angry or getting angry.

Take a deep breath smell the flowers and enjoy life. 

Geese are evil. Especially right now around here as they are breeding and very aggressive. Ducks are cute, geese are flying rats. Oh wait, that's pigeons.

If you think ducks are cute I will introduce you to our boathouse duck who has attacked me twice now.  I swear he will make an excellent dinner one of these nights!

My high school was the Southside Rebels, complete with a Confederate flag, Dixie as the fight song and the drill team girls were called the Confederates. Not one student/school or parent ever had a problem with any of the flags songs or anything, other than they were are rival school while I was there. yes we had all races of people at our school.

Sometimes people make more out of something than needs to be!

There is a school in my area with Rebels as the mascot.  In 2000 the removed the confederate flag as the official school flag and banned it entirely from school activities in 2012.  They still have Dixie as the school song.

I get why people are offended by the flag and have no problem with school districts changing over time.  

Might I recommend your shotgun of choice using #4 shot?   

I know some boys who will be happy to take care of that problem for you......here's a pic of some damage my old hunting crew caused this season in a weekend.....yeah, that's over 1000 dead geese.....damn rednecks!!

I have no issues with that. Duck is delicious.

Oh yeah......everyone is offended these days....because it works.

I say we ban panties. Or maybe have restrictions on the amount of material used in a panty. 

Way too much bunching going on!
