Students Suspended For Wearing Confederate Flag Emblem

Christiansburg High School (Virginia) recently suspended 20 of their students for wearing an emblem of the Confederate flag. The students were accused of violating the dress code, which specifically bans students from wearing any article of clothing that could be argued to "reflect adversely on persons due to race." The students' initial punishment was one day of in-school suspensions, however punishment was continued when a majority of the students did not acquiesce. The school consists of about 1,100 students, 88 of which are African-American. Obviously, there is a clear minority, and the Confederate flag apparel is aggressive toward them and shows no regard to social limits or boundaries.
