I can't stand byrnes BUT this is a joke. Nothing about that school is racist. Look how many African American athletes that school has produced

This has gone way to far. The name of this school does nothing but provide pride for students, & former students as well as the staff and community of Byrnes. Find something better to do then take pride of a school away from the community that has put so much into it .!

The term Rebel does not simply denote the South during the Civil War. By definition the colonists were "rebels" during the war for independence. Rebels can either be seen as good or bad, depending on what they are fighting for.
