Two high school students sent home for carrying purses depicting the Confederate flag filed a lawsuit against their suburban Fort Worth school district Friday, claiming their free speech rights were violated. Aubrie Michelle McAllum and Ashley Paige Thomas, both 17, say they were singled out for punishment in a lawsuit prepared by the Southern Legal Resource Center, a North Carolina-based group whose motto is "Justice For Dixie." The girls were punished at Burleson High School for expressing "pride in their Southern ancestry, culture and heritage," according to the suit.
I am so sick of everyone else getting to be PROUD of their heritage, and flaunt it in everyone's face but Southerners being told that it's not OK for them to be PROUD TO BE SOUTEHRN. In case it has somehow managed to escape your attention this is BLACK HISTORY MONTH, it's on the TV, in newspapers, and on radio programs in fact I don't know of a single media outlet where it's not plastered for all the world to see. Do we have a WHITE HISTORY MONTH???? No, why not?
At least this story allowed me to find a great new blog VDARE.com. I loved their post Time To Hang My Confederate Flag.
The supposed feelings of Black students are more important than the constitutionally protected freedoms of everybody else. White people may only celebrate history that is acceptable to other races. In contrast, non-white races may take pride in and celebrate the history of anything they want.
I for one am tired of this double standard. I am a WHITE SOUTHERNER and proud of it. I'll darn well celebrate my heritage if I want to and if you don't like it you can lump it. Does anyone know where I can buy the purse?
