The topic of this article is Christiansburg high school is banning flags and symbols that could be deemed offensive by any race, religion, ethnic group, or gender.

The Christianburgs high school has banned flags and symbols that could be deemed offensive by any group to keep to the same track as for the dress code and rules for decorating lockers.  This started when a man in Virginia shot and killed 9 members of a historic black church.  Debbie Cox, a mother of one of the students, was shocked at this banning of the flag and admitted that she did not read the parking contract before signing.

This event sadly did not shock me as I knew that in the way we were heading this would come eventually.  Though I do not support this, as this goes against both my personal morals and our countries bill of rights.  The first amendment states that we have the freedom, I repeat Freedom, to practice our religion and to speak out.  Furthermore, it is also stated that our not limited to what I have listed before meaning that we have the right to “speak” out using symbols.   Also, how do we know that the symbol of the confederate flag was meant to offend as much as honor there ancestry of confederates.

This impacts the world because if we give an inch to these groups then we give them a mile in the end.  If you comply with a single thing they are trying to accomplish in the way of limiting power then we will much as such is shown in the article.  They gave in and banned offensive symbols and flags on cars, lockers, and clothes.  To make this even worse most parents are not aware of this proved by the statement made by Debbie Cox.  This proves that with giving up a small freedom can result in the loss of a big one, and don’t think oh this could only happen at a school because it is already happening throughout the world.
