A student at Fayetteville High School in Fayetteville, Ark., has been suspended for wearing — and refusing to remove — a Confederate flag-themed shirt and face paint in support of a pro-flag movement called #HistoryNotHate.

Several students showed up to school in apparel featuring the controversial flag and were told by the administration to remove it, but one did not comply and received an out-of-school suspension, according to local NBC affiliate KARK. Now the teens say they are upset with the way school officials are handling the situation, and they defend their right to dress in Confederate flag themes.

“None of us are racist. None of us are doing it for hate,” said student Jagger Starnes to KARK. “It’s Southern pride, and we’re not gonna take it off for anyone. This is our flag. It’s Arkansas. This is the South.”

But school officials say they aren’t taking a political stance and are not trying to impede anyone’s rights as an American. Instead, they’re trying to keep the peace, they say. “We’re not trying to trample on their First Amendment rights,” Fayetteville High School Principal Jay Dostal told KARK. “We’re just trying to have a safe and orderly school environment.”

Their obsession with the confederate flag is amusing. I lived in North Carolina and Georgia and.... OMG it's comical.

"The south will rise again". Sure sure.

idiocracy

Can we just carpet bomb everything below the Mason Dixon line and be done with those assholes?

How tolerant of you. Let's kill people with different views.

I liked the dukes of hazard...was a great show back then...

They always say the same excuse "southern pride"... Pride in what? Losing?

Anyway, student should not have been suspended for that.

^^ Bronco wants to kill all the black people who understand 'heritage not hate'

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Less than 3% of southerners ever owned slaves (all Democrats).

Foh with that bullshit.

Y'all rightards keep trying to push that democrat shit. Both parties are retarded, but you would have been a democrat back then. They were the conservatards.

Are you making terroristic threats?

'Cause you know, if I see something... I gotta say something.

This different = racist.

Yeah but you retards on the left have worn that word out. It's useless. Everything you disagree with is raciss.

^^ The parties flipped! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh Another Democrat lie trying to cover up their history of racism. ONE guy switched parties (Strom Thurmond)

I'm completely in favor of banning everything.

Everything, except anything I happen to personally like. If you happen to like something I don't happen to like, of course I have no problem with it being banned.

You don't like it? Well, that's what you get for being a racist.
