Confederate Flag T-shirt

The issue in reality is not the flag or its relevance in history or relationship to slavery. From an administrative standpoint, the school has not taken a stance. The boy in this case is the victim, and the hecklers are the aggressors. Both the mother AND the young man have admitted that the shirt is the likley source. My point is, as a parent, if ANYTHING affects my childs grades, I would try to change the source. Nether the school nor this story is likely to change the feelings of the offenders. Shaun: Wear the shirt when your grades improve, wear it at home, wear it to the mall. Don't allow anyone to surpress your freedom of expression. LIKEWISE don't let anything get in the way of your education. As for your mother, she has to understand that she will NOT obtain satisfactory results from the school administration. Any action that comes from the school will result in the school recommending that he no longer wear the shirt. Is it fair? no, but there is so much more going on in school that is more important. Good luck.
