American Government Debate

So I had an American Government debate today in my online FLVS course and the focus questions was Should students be allowed to display the Confederate Flag in school, I remind you its a live debate so we go back and forth. Well someone on the opposing side (Negative) said that the confederate flag represents Slavery and I stop and butted in and said no it doesn't and we started going back and forth and he told me the KKK wore that falg so since I wear it Im an associate for the KKK.!! I mean really are people so rude and ignorant to say that.?!?! Attacking someone they dont even know and telling me Im KKK and telling me I shoudl die.? WWOOWW is all I have to say.  Below I copied and pasted a question I had to answer at the end of the debate. My view.




7. A paragraph explaining your personal views on whether the Confederate Flag should be allowed in school.                          I personally believe that either its the Confederate Flag or Great Britain Flag I don't think it should matter. The Confederate Flag is a representation of the south, it does not represent slavery or KKK. In side and out side of school we have the freedom of expression and what is the school system showing us if they don't give us that right in school. They are showing us no matter what the Constitution says we don't really have right because they are going to limit our right to freedom of expression. People who believe it represents slavery and the KKK and want to tell me that since I wear it I'm an associate of the KKK needs to read up and see that the flag does not represent what they say it does. Any and everything can offend someone, are they going to band all of it in the schools? If you band one thing band them all. We have the freedom to express our religion in school so why are they gonna band us from expressing our culture views? If someone comes from India to America and go to a public school they arent going to band them from their cultural views, wearings or anything else in school, so why the Confederate Flag. This is my personal view.   




Now whats YOUR view!!?? Theres no hard feelings for whatever your view is and if you wish to comment feel free but keep it clean and considerate. Thanks =) Just thought I would share my experience in my first live debate.!
