This destruction of all things that even hint at the confederacy is absurd and should not be tolerated.

This issue is ridiculous, this issue has got to stop. This has been the mascot for years and why change now. So it has become the minority rules instead of the majority rules.

Please leave the school alone. There is nothing racist anout being a Brynes Rebel. This has gone too far. People need to be concerned about other issues....for example, school lunch, academics..

I'm proud to call James F Byrnes Rebels my High School . We are living in our last days people , spend your time wisely , stirring up controversial topics like you are doing is what makes you a Racist ! Not the color of your skin, nor the name of a school mascot . The Byrnes High Rebels are here to stay !! You may win at removing it from the building , but you will NEVER remove it from our hearts ! This world we live in has never been perfect and neither have we , but finding fault in everything and everybody is certainly not the answer ! Grow up , get over your ego bruised flesh , and try to move forward !

There has to be a stopping point! There are many school names or mascots that are going to offend someone. NAACP stop already!!

Changing the name is absurd! The term Rebel has nothing to do with the flag! James Dean, an american icon, was a Rebel. Elvis was a Rebel! Totally against the name chnage!

If Mr.Moore is so hurt by being a Rebel....why hasn't he requested to be removed from our school's history as being a "MR. REBEL"? Ijs

Published Writer, Sterling Heights, MI. The whole agenda of tearing down monuments & the like needs to end. People including high schools have a right to their history & traditions. There is nothing wrong with naming a school mascot the Rebels.
