LATTA, S.C. (AP) -- A 15-year-old girl led a small protest march Monday over her high school's ban on Confederate flag clothing, which she is also challenging in court.
Candice Hardwick walked with about a dozen people, about half of them family members and some wearing Confederate T-shirts, a few blocks to Latta High School. Hardwick wore a Confederate belt buckle and button and had the Confederate flag on her cell phone cover. She removed those items before entering the school, where she is a sophomore.
Hardwick says she wants to wear the emblem to pay tribute to ancestors who fought on the Confederate side of the Civil War. She said she has been forced to change clothes or turn her shirt inside-out, and has been suspended twice and threatened with being kicked off the track team.
I like what Kenton says, which is that if we ignore this girl, hopefully she'll go away.
For the record, I'm not going to try to stop anyone from wearing Confederate shirts & swag. First Amendment rights and whatnot. But that's not going to stop me from mocking them at every turn.
