I'm surprised at the number of public institutions that still use the Confederate flag and other symbols of the Civil War in this, the 21st century.

Southside stopped using the rebel flag some time ago. But yeah, its getting rarer and rarer to find a confederate rebal.

Just to clarify. All "symbols" from the Civil War era? Like the "Battle Cry of Freedom"?

Amazing how much social media and internet can get people riled up. Never heard of people complaining about High School mascots until this Roof shite. Heard about Ole Miss and that's it. Now shite is spreading like wild fire.

Just come look at Mississippi private schools.

North Sunflower Academy Rebels
Sharkey Issaquena Academy Confederates
Carroll Academy Rebels
Humphreys Academy Rebels
Leake Academy Rebels
Adams County Christian School Rebels

That's off of the top of my head..I know there are numerous more.

Yes, I read your sarcasm perfectly well.
School board is a bunch of pussies.

Maybe don't pick a political statement of a mascot. Then you wouldn't find yourself having to change it.

"Southside", which everybody who's been to Fort Smith knows, was considered the "whiter school" since its inception... Lets not pretend like there weren't deliberate connotations attached to the name from its adoption.

Southside was built in the mid 60's to be the white school, it remained white for 15 years after it was built.
