Dress Codes Still Suck
A school is going so far to enforce their ban on the confederate flag at the school that they are suspending students (to be expected) and peeling offending stickers off of cars and towing vehicles that they say violate their rules. Person High Principal Greg Hicks announced the ban Monday after several incidents at the school, including at least one fight between a white student and a black student. Hicks, who replaced longtime Principal Larry Oakley, who retired last year, said students were allowed to wear Confederate symbols in the past without incident. However, Person High began to see problems this year, including racial slurs directed at black students, he said. Clearly the confederate flag is the problem here.
