Queen Creek High School in Arizona I decided to have something known as
redneck day
to really amp up school spirit right before prom
and some people were very upset by this namely some civil rights leaders and
some students minority students they go to the high school and felt like they
were being
I discriminated against so there was one student who actually showed up wearing a
confederate flag
and not upset a lot of people up
namely minority students in civil rights leaders so now course whenever the
stories come up argument can be made as to whether or not the confederate flag
as offensive
some people will say that looked at the the Civil War had to do with states
rights it had to do with property rights of
economic ride the property just happen to be african-american is likely I'm not
I'm not buying any a ride in a states rights just happen to be the right to do
slavery
but no really was about as a toward I ideological things
not about slavery itself not about race and no so from what I understand redneck
day was just to celebrate
redneck culture was early to make fun of it and I i don't think that it was
intended to make fun of minority students are make minority students feel
bad
but nonetheless they did feel bad about it and now the Department of Education
is investigating it
and they release the following statement the deal he will determine the remedy
including moderating conversation between school administrators and civil
rights community leaders to shape new policy in racism prevention measures
Katniss okay so this many things to say here for small
I don't understand who thought this was a good idea this it could
only go wrong he can't go right yeah because your either making fun to
rednecks
and that's not called her not fully there yet at a high school especially
when it's one thing if you're
have a conversation among friends are growing jobs et cetera
or you're celebrating rednecks which then
of course you guys gonna come to confront why would you think he was
gonna come in i mean if they're going to outfits
well so they come in great they say that it was a fun way to pose a redneck day
to Bill school spirit leading up the problem week
what who authorized his house through but are you as I'm reading about this
school
I just its a complete 180 from the school I went to you later
celebrate school spirit my school had Peace Day where we lay off nearly gave
way to your lab that likes to do not write their own political speeches and
give speeches in front of the entire school
no I don't really want to be like you yeah he like all I gotta let me tell you
about women's rights
gotta and and I remember I perform Bellator in one piece I just when you
thought it couldn't get any worse I might rather go to redneck that
I got my school put on ballet
a book old for how do I move to Arizona correct me if I got a standing ovation
it was greatly
so yeah like I read about this and I wonder the same thing that you did
jegley
how did the administrators think that it was okay but it's a different culture in
Arizona
you know I when I went to film that show with Meghan McCain it was kinda funny
because
when she would talk about redneck she would do so in a very like endearing way
and make sure to refer to herself as a redneck once in awhile i kinda jokingly
and so for that and it is something about pride and it's really interesting
that they see it that way
and in arizona them I am literally have a redneck is really odd
I I okay so now the full one other thing though
I Justice Department seems excessive doesn't it on %uh the Justice Department
the
I'm sorry governor education great it but they're literally making a federal
case out a bit
because one who showed over the confederate flag I don't wanna
you know i misses you heard before I'm not a fan of the confederate flag a pink
ghetto
says to raise some stuff but get making a federal case how
like Eireann all these are the principal would pull your son billy a schmuck
in Confederate flags crazy what you do in your day or you know what
is cool suspension good luck go spend spend eight hours that whole
you note working on your homework in this case
I'm assuming there's no evidence indicating this but I i feel like if the
administrators were OK with the redneck day from the beginning they probably
wouldn't mind a confederate flag which is why I probably went to like
higher-ups
know that's a good point but I don't think that it should go to the federal
government I think the Department of Education should focus on other things
not redneck day at one high school in Arizona
yeah and here's why would change my mind if there was evidence which we don't see
the story
where the minority students look
felt physically threatening if we're like where whoa I'm really worried about
my
a security and safety here though I totally get it that's exactly where the
federal government has to regulate
at the local folks are doing it right right but in this case
it doesn't seem that it required that much but I you look if you were on the
ground you might have felt differently
but but either way it was unquestionably a bad idea
that one up with better results
