The flag is enough leave highschools mascots alone. Nothing has ever been said til now. Many of all different races have become amazing athletes through the Rebels. They are highly favored.

There is nothing wrong with this name. There have been many young blacks, and whites to come from this school and been proud. LEAVE THEM ALONE!

If you cower down I hope all funding gets cut from this school. You will deserve it for not having a spine. It's just a name. It has stood just fine for a long time.

The mascot is not a racist image. Those that question this or walk the streets through the community. Or you can read a book I wrote covering the history of ALL of the schools and community. www.amazon.com/Byrnes-High-School-Football-Gridiron/dp/1609491696
