Keep Rebel Flags In School!

I thank Mercedes2017 for putting this debate up to challenge, and I am happy to debate this topic. Now to start off, most of what Pro has posted for round 1 is a story of what conflict has taken place at a high school. Pro claims "The teacher was more worried about his clothes instead of his education". That is not the case I am sure. Every teacher knows that education is very important. The problem here is that the student had a sign of racism and hate on his shirt. How it is a symbol of hate and racism I will get to in a moment. Next Pro claims "it cant be taught to be racist, because black soldiers fought in the confederate armies as well". Pro has presented no proof of this claim therefore it is dismissed. Pro then claims "there is just as much black blood as there is white blood", yet again provides no proof. Therefore the claim is dismissed. Now, how is the confederate flag a symbol of hate and racism? Here in these pictures you can see that in modern day the confederate flag is used as a symbol of hate a racism by the American Neo-Nazis and the popular/infamous KKK, which was founded in 1865, the year the Civil war ended! Those who did not wish to give up their "heritage" banded together as a clan. This also mean the confederate flag was still being used as a symbol of hate and racism in the civil war "The first Klan was founded in 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee, by six veterans of the Confederate Army." https://en.wikipedia.org... https://en.wikipedia.org...

Neo-Nazis http://www.mintpressnews.com... https://offpathhistory.files.wordpress.com... Not only this but I also have the Charleston Church shooting to support my claim where a man gunned down 9 African Americans and wounded one other, in hopes of starting a race war. The gun man was seen in several photographs with white supremacy emblems, including the Confederate flag. The confederate flag does in fact offend millions of Americans in a pole, people were asked if the confederate flag represented racism or southern pride. 31% said racism while 41% said Southern pride. The other 27% said neither or were unsure. Not only this but you see a percentage of approval of displaying the flag. 25% strongly disapproving, 21% somewhat disapprove and only 12% strongly approving, 24% somewhat approving. Overall 46% disapprove and 36% approve. http://cdn.yougov.com... In case Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc. Texas ruled to keep the confederate off license plates. Now I know it may seem irrelevant. But this is the reason they ruled this way.... "[B]ecause public comments have shown that many members of the general public find the design offensive, and because such comments are reasonable, the Board finds that a significant portion of the public associate the Confederate flag with organizations advocating expressions of hate directed toward people or groups that is demeaning to those people or groups." http://ourfuture.org... In conclusion, I have presented pictures showing the confederate flag affiliated with racists and hate. I have given an example of how strong the hate is, and an example of the hate in action. I have given a poll showing peoples thoughts of the confederate flag being racist or not, and regardless to majority, 31% is still a large number of Americans compared to the 41% that disagreed, plus the disapproval vs approval percentages. Lastly I presented a court case in which the state ruled in favor that the confederate flag is indeed a symbol of hate and racism.
