OK, apparently now you can't even display the Confederate flag when teaching Civil War history in High School. Seriously folks...

This is one of the most ridiculous things that I have ever read (article quoted below). Shame on you Superintendent Boreilli. You have completely missed the point of the Battle Flag being represented here. It was being displayed within the context of TEACHING the Civil War. (You will also note that the plaintiff in the article is 19 years old and still in High School. Perhaps that says more about this school district than it’s reaction to this incident.)

Quoted from the Gloucester County Times: FRANKLIN TWP. A history class display on the Civil War that included a Confederate flag drew the attention Tuesday of district officials following a complaint by a student. The flag was removed, said Superintendent Frank Borelli. "One person felt uncomfortable," Borelli said. "He raised the question. It was taken down." "I was shocked to see it," said Aaron Reyes, 19. "There are other ways to display stuff." The flag was part of an overall display that also included the American flag of the period, information about the Union and Confederate armies and replica bullets of the period. "If it was just a (Confederate) flag hanging there, I would be terribly upset," Borelli said. The superintendent said the district will review the matter as it relates to future displays of symbols that some find upsetting. "I'm sure we will act accordingly," Borelli said. Nicole Reyes, Andre's mother, said she "appreciated Mr. Borelli's prompt action" to remove the flag.
