actually i know the girl that was on the news very well. and she is not racist.
but things like this turn people racist.
the shirt she wore to school wasnt offensive.
the black students just took it the wrong way.
and yes. it is very sad that parents are taking their kids out of school because of this.

I agree, it's a sad day. Knowing what's happening at Flat Rock and not having any response from our BOE. That's what's sad.

This isn't a north/south issue in my opinion. This is a discrimination issue against one group of kids versus another. That is what has parents upset, not Yankee vs. Rebel. The parents I know involved are very intelligent and rational individuals.

Black kids wearing malcom x, and other shirts with hate whitey untdertones is offensive.

The real issue here is, that only one race is being punished for being offensive. The issue is blatant reverse racism, by a school principal who only punishes the white kids.

This blatant reverse racism, is why the south can't heal. Black people here(no not all of them)go out of there way to be offensive to whites because they think they are settling a score.

Yes this war has been over for a very long time. How much longer are these people going to play the race card?? When are they gong to move beyond their hate of all white people.

Racism of any kind is of the devil.

When is the Fayette BOE going to hold Jewish history month. That race and religion has been overlooked. Only focusing on one race of people doesn't cut it, and it is racism.

I'm with you intheknow. Yankee or Rebel we are one. We have more to worry about. Our Soldiers are getting Killed everyday in Iraq. North Korea set off a Nuclear Test yesterday. And what are these hate mongers talking about for Gods Sake...The Civil War.
And you wonder why we have Wars..it is people like the James Kings of this world...
baaaaaaaaaaaa

Dear Mrs "InTheKnow"

Being you are from the north, I can understand your ignorance and bigotted bias against the South, her citizens, her symbols, and her
culture.

Northerners are so enlightened, aren't they? Looking down their noses at us when they move down here (why did you leave such a wondrous paradise like yankeeland ?) and begin trying to turn our home into whatever it was they just left. Buffalo, Pittsburg, Chicago, New Yuck, Boston... Why not try to assimilate into the community, instead of acting like Star Trek's Borg and Assimilate us into y'all's collective hive mind?

Mrs InTheKnow, I am as far from the Klan as one can be. I have stood against the Klan, protested their activities, and opposed them at their rallies in Gettysburg and Sharpsburg. Pray tell ma'am, have you done anything remotely close besides sit in your multi million dollar PC home and throw rocks and lies?

Apparently you, like the mainstream media, failed to fully read my information in my post not concerning you, and are trying to put words not spoken by me in my mouth and actions not done by me attributed to me. I offered many suggestions for remedies to the situation regarding the trashing of the Constitution, US Law, and Supreme & Appeals Court legal decisions in favor of wearing such shirts.

I would strongly urge that concerned members of the 'History Buff' community be allowed a meeting with principal Mann and the FCBoE, and a mutual agreement be reached with possible administration reassignments and return to following legal precidents and edicts. Going down any other path at this time will only bring further tensions and grief.

I consider your ill-advised post against myself to be finished, having successfully rebutted it.

After reading all the blogs and comments, I do not find that anyone is resurrecting the War of Northern Agression. Just giving his opinion and a great deal of information. The teenager has a right to her opinion and it is up to her parents to correct, or change her viewpoint. I thought that is what blogs wree for. Express yourself. We certainly don't agree with everyone. Sometimes I don't agree at all with what is written here and other times I am fully in favor of the comments. that's a blog. If you are that distressed, the cure for your distress is to log off. My only other comment is Delta is Ready When You Are.

Your far from being "intheknow", how many kids do you have at FRMS? The girl on TV, went to the principle, she went to the assistant principle, she went to the counselors......they all blamed her for the verbal abuse, the pushing and shoving she endured in the halls, they chose to ignore it!!! Those students she was complaining about, were ALL black. Her reports were ignored just as any other white students complaints are ignored until they get fed up and start to fight back. Why do kids have to go to school in such an environment? Why?
This school has a racist administration and until its removed from the school, the school will continue to fall in academics as well as have kids scared to go to school!!! They can't even talk to the administration!! get your facts straight intheknow!!!!

It's idiots like you that promote such racism. The Tyrone Teen wasn't being racist, but she, like others have had racism shoved down their throats so much at our school systems that they are becoming racists! Wake up! Look around! If you were "intheknow" you would know how these kids are being treated in Fayette County schools!!

by James W. King and his personal rantings that are consuming our reading. Give it up already Mr. King ah Mr. Dragon, sir. I am not interested in your lectures as I am sure others are not also. One descent sized posting would have been ok but not the novels you are publishing to self promote.
