This is insane. The Rebels now to pertain to the American Revolution rebels. When America claimed its independence from the British, they were called rebels. Byrnes mascot was a Colonial Solidier at one time. This needs to be stopped dead in its tracks.

The Rebel name was chosen because James F Byrnes was a rebel in the political community. People need to understand the true meaning of the name not what others make it out to be.

I may no longer attend the high school but I still support the Rebel team and everything the school has done over the years. Taking away the Rebel name is like taking away the high school's school spirit.

I graduated from Byrnes High School and my children graduated from Byrnes High School as well. I have worked for the district with pride while seeing the success flow throughout the halls. I was a Rebel then and will always be a Rebel. There is no need to continue stirring the pot of hatred when it is empty. Enough is enough and it's time to find a cause that needs all the time and resources that are being wasted trying to fix what isn't broken. Leave BHS Rebels alone!!!!!!!!
