If students at Lapel High School in Indiana ever wanted to rock their bedazzled Confederate-flag clothing, theyâre now out of luck. The school district has banned the racist symbol from clothing after several arguments between students over the last couple of weeks.
âThe banning of this symbol isnât because of the symbol; itâs because of the disruption in school. It could be any symbol or any action, for that matter. If itâs something thatâs prohibiting the education environment, interfering with the sanctity of the learning environment, we have to do something,â said Lapel High School Principal Chad Kemerly, Fox 59 reports.

Confederate-flag-loving students flew their racist freak flags at school last week, and thatâs when the melee erupted. Of course, there are students who think the flag is a proud part of history and shouldnât be banned, but they understood the disruption it caused.
âI think itâs kind of gotten out of hand the way itâs at now. I wish it wouldâve never gotten to that, and Iâm sorry people took it as racism,â said junior Jaden Vanalstyne.
The Confederate-clothing ban has been put into effect indefinitely.
