"If she can't wear that belt buckle, then why is it appropriate to make an assignment out of it?"
I don't get how we can learn about WWII but I'm getting in trouble for my third reich armband

RULES

No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

The controversial message offended one Hephzibah High School student, who told her mom the teacher put a photo of the Confederate flag on the board with text saying: "A sticker you put on the back of your pickup truck to announce that you intend to marry your sister. Think of it like a white trash 'Save the Date' card."
"He captured Harper's Ferry, with his nineteen men so few,
And frightened "Old Virginny" till she trembled through and through
They hung him for a traitor, themselves a traitor crew,
But his soul is marching on."
I think of our new hero as a modern day John Brown.
"A lot of [the discussion] is that it's not morally correct. It's unethical," Fuller told the station. "It's just something you don't want to discuss today in today's world and especially inside of a classroom."
Fuller said her daughter once wore a belt to school with a Confederate flag buckle. The school asked her daughter to take it off, which she did, and she received an in-house suspension. "If she can't wear that belt buckle, then why is it appropriate to make an assignment out of it?" Fuller said.
The mom said her issue was not with the Confederate flag photo, it was with the text. "Why was that used? With it being such a rough area, why would you put that our there to a class discussion that could have turned very ugly?" Fuller said.
"The Richmond County School System is committed to creating a diverse, equitable learning environment for all students," the district said in a statement reported by WRDW. "The language used in the example was unacceptable and has no place in our classrooms."
Alabama intensifies.

Y'all know that Sherman was from Louisiana right?
He was not. He was from Ohio. Before the war, he briefly worked at the school that would become LSU, and by all accounts was fond of it, but while there famously warned the Louisianans that they would be well and truly fucked if they got into a real war with the North.
He made up for it
Anyone trying to make a pro star and bars flag argument other than in an ironic or comic way deserves any shit they get from the rest of the world. Fuck the confederacy.
He's right.
but what about sister marriers that don't support slavery?
They're a rounding error
but the historical royal families
