One person should not have the authority to change school tradition, because of their personal opinion.

This seems an overreach of John Mullins' power and rather a matter of curriculum .

Why do some feel compelled to bow to a few? Our grandchildren & great grandchildren have every right to know their heritage & traditions.

I will not be attending another Arab ball game if "Dixie" is eliminated as the fight song. It was played long before I joined the band and proudly played it on the field; it has been played ever since. This is a TRADITION, and I will be one of the OFFENDED if it is taken away!

What in the world is going on around here. As a relative newcomer to this great State (23 years), but one with deep Southern roots it seems to me that Dixie represents a long held heritage of proud Alabamians (of all races) that revere All that is good and true about America and the South. The song Dixie is being construed as a racist foundation to Alabama society and heritage. From what I understand this has been the Arab High School fight song for generations. Here is another progressive liberal (Mullins is a progenitor of the federal progressive liberal Common Core agenda for dumbing down our children in our schools) that is obviously and inherently ashamed of the South and Southern customs, defies independence from obtrusive government, and is adept at using his position to change history and ensure the endurance of political correctness. Political correctness will bring about the end of Alabama, the South and our glorious country. Arab High School administration also signed off on this travesty,,,John Ingram might enjoy a Southern gentile telephone call.
