by Austin Petersen

 

Two students were permanently suspended from school after walking into an after-hours sporting event with a confederate flag draped around their shoulders.

Obviously schools have a right to maintain order at their facilities, but is wearing a Rebel flag making a racist statement, or is it an issue of free speech? And why after over 100 years are we still fighting the philosophical battles of the Civil War? Was the war about slavery, or states rights?
