Kid had it on his pickup truck. School used database recommended by local law enforcement which lists gang colors/symbols to identify infractions. The flag is on there.

What connection does a kid in Idaho have with the Confederate flag?

And these are the people who are supposed to educate our children.

I think that the "CEO" bit that school administrator attached to his name pretty much sums up his power spasm. I am glad the cops slam-dunked his lying claim that it was their fault. BTW ... I thought an alternative school was supposed to teach their clients how to accept responsibility for their actions. Maybe the CEO should sit in on a few of those classes.

What connection? He owns one. Is that enough of a connection for you?

The school doesn’t allow gang colors or insignias on campus and claimed it was local cops who said the flag was an indicator of gang affiliation. But the Caldwell Police Department disputed that.

“We don’t look at the Confederate flag as a gang symbol,” Capt. Frank Wyant told KIVI-TV. “We don’t encourage anybody to take it down. Those are their rights, and that’s what we’re here for, to protect and uphold their rights.”
So...the administrators are liars as well as fools. No surprise given the state of the education industry these days. I hoped this level of stupidity would be confined to blue states.

This school must have a helluva time policing the parking lot looking for license plates with "MS" and/or "13" in them.

(MS-13 is a Salvadorean gang for those playing along at home)

No its a battle flag of the civil war. Like many flags that people then and now do not agree with .Just like many colonial nations see the British flag. But it seem rebels of all types in life have adopted even in foreign countries. Sound we then consider the flag who our forefathers fought against in revolution evil and even attacked us again in182? Its certainly not the only rebellion flag in the western world tho.My thinking is it give some haters something and someone to hate; really. There is plenty of that around the world as we see everyday in news.
