Richmond, VA area school will keep "Rebels" team name (high school, education)

Richmond-area school to keep

There are some things that might be considered offensive: There is still a high school in the Richmond area with the team name "Confederates"

However, I think "Rebel" is neutral enough that it's no big deal.

No one cares.

Good for them. it's time to kick these politically correct ba$t^rds to the curb Even if the want to be the Confederates that's fine too. Time to tale our country back.

No way in hell would I send my child to any school with the Rebel moniker if it has anything to do with the Confederacy. Hell no.

And any school with teams named the Confederates is DEFINITELY a no no. That's even worse

But to each his own.
