Subject: Removing Confederate flag violates free speech & is unAmerican
To: vern.minor@republicschools.org

Dear Mr. Vern Minor,
 
I have been informed that you are a High School Principal in Kentucky and you have suspended a high school student for displaying a Confederate flag on his private vehicle.
 
I am a Vietnam veteran, I fought the communists so this young man could enjoy freedom of speech (101st Airborne Division 1969).
 
My Daddy fought the Nazis in WW II (36th Infantry Division, helped liberate Bergen Belsen concentration camp) so this young man could enjoy freedom of speech.
 
My Great Great Grandfather fought under that Confederate flag, defending us, here in the South, from Yankee aggression.
 
You really need to read the Bill of Rights, study the history of our nation; and reconsider your decision. Persecution of those with whom you may disagree would be more appropriate in Nazi Germany, or Soviet Russia; and, not in any public school in America. I am very disappointed with your actions. I will keep you in my prayers.
 

 

 

Respectfully,
