    Posting a conferate flag is offensive to most blacks like a swastika flag is to a Jew. When will these fools undrestand that their holy icon is a racist rallying point? Oh wait…they probably know that and couldn’t care less!!

    If anyone really knows history in America, then they would know that the STARS AND BARS flag had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH SLAVERY! You cannot in anyway shape or form compare it to the Nazi Flag! I think that the fact this school district got the flag banned is ridiculous! It is heritage! If they are going to ban the “Confederate” Flag then they need to ban every national flag! The Confederate flag was meant to be a battle flag NOT a RACIAL icon! I just have one question for Bobbi- Have you read the story of the CIVIL WAR? Have you read the MEANING BEHIND the STARS AND BARS? Just in case you really do care about history here is a really good website to give you an inside about how the current CONFEDERATE BATTLE FLAG was created!
