"We are very clear that the Confederate flag is a symbol of hatred, bigotry and racism," said Rick Kaufman, the Executive Director of Community Relations at Bloomington Kennedy High School.
Huh? It is?
First of all, it is NOT the Confederate flag. It IS the Confederate battle flag. It is the flag of an army and its soldiers, not the flag of a government.
Second, it is ignorance that keeps hatred, bigotry and racism not only alive, but institutionalized in our schools and our governance.
So, Rick, looks like the ball's in your court.
