CCPS discuss possibility of banning Confederate flag items
in schools
By Emily Chappell Jan. 10, 2018 http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/education/cc-boe-january-2017-story.html
In a crowded room Wednesday night, one person after another
got up asking for one thing: the banning of Confederate flags on shirts,
accessories and more in Carroll County Public Schools.
Nearly a dozen spoke on the topic Wednesday, some young
students, other parents in the community and some community leaders.
Mel Brennan, of Westminster, spoke as a parent of a
Westminster High School freshman. His daughter, Brennan said, deals with seeing
students with Confederate flag paraphernalia every day. And as a mixed-race
child, he added, she experiences this as hate speech directed at her.
With these items, he said, Westminster High School doesn’t
create “a safe or healthy school environment for her.”
“This is of course unacceptable,” Brennan said.
Following the numerous speakers, CCPS Superintendent Stephen
Guthrie addressed the issue. The school board came to a consensus to have the
CCPS’s legal team look into if CCPS can legally ban the flag on shirts and
other items, possibly including those on cars in the school parking lot.
Guthrie said three years ago, he looked into banning the
symbol in schools, but at the time was told legally he could not.
