NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday in favor of a Tennessee school system that banned the Confederate battle flag because of concerns the symbol could inflame racial tensions at a high school.
Students Derek Barr, Chris White, Roger Craig White and their parents said in a lawsuit their free speech rights were violated by the 2005 flag ban at William Blount High School in Maryville, about 15 miles south of Knoxville.

Well there goes our 1st Amendment down the drain....seriously, where does it stop? Should we start banning every little thing that offends someone? Hell, this whole decision was based on ignorance...the Civil War was NOT about slavery!!! Learn your history!!
