Richard Barrett, white supremacist, now publicly supporting OM students...

When I was in HS in the late 60"s he was trying to lead rallies in the high schools,
This piece of **** needs to go away! We don't need this.
This reflects on all of us, in Ms. and the South

Richard Barrett EAT ****! GO AWAY! GO AWAY!

because most of them are a freaking joke and are terrible. In my opinion, it would be better for the state if: A) all the private school kids would go to public schools.. B) Counties like Clay and Oktibeha would quit having 8 public schools and just have one big one. Seriously, is there a need for a West Point HS AND a Clay County HS...or a Columbus HS AND a Lowndes County HS?? No, it's a complete waste of tax payers dollars and screws over the kids in the end.

Much more than they have right now, which is considerable.

It seems that they want to deal with appearances rather than dealing with the real issue.

We have a different view of slavery today in the USA because slavery was abolished in this country 140 years ago. It is an institution that we can look at and easily see was wrong and we say good riddance to it, and rightfully so. But we today look back then and wonder why they tolerated it. What we fail to realize is it was a well established institution that typically didn't die very easily. It was a long painful legislative battle in England to bring about abolution. Here in the US, we were in for a worse fight. Yes, it should have been hammered on in 1787 when the Constitution was drafted, but it isn't that easy. Even those that looked at the institution and disagreed with it and saw the wrong in it also realized that it was well established and wouldn't leave without a fight. It's a lot easier today to look back and say, well yea sure it should have been abolished.

People today are also very arrogant and judgemental, not to mention hypocritical. We have things in this country today we overlook that shouldn't be overlooked, some things even more obviously wrong than slavery yet we have the notion that we are going to judge our forefathers. I feel like in 100 years if this country still stands that people might look back on our generation and wonder why, why we allowed these types of things to go on.

that the Ole Miss band plays the song- maybe I'm wrong about that, I haven't been to an Ole Miss game since 1998 when we won the SEC West.

If that's the case, it should be REAL easy to stop. Just tell the band to not play it, and tell the band director (David Wilson?) if they do, he is fired.

That should do it.

that's why there is a West Lowndes and a Columbus HS. New Hope, Caledonia, and West Lowndes are all in the same district. There's not one school district there because it would be way too spread out. You would have students having to catch the bus at 5 AM to get to school.

It was my understanding that they have already threatened to quit playing the song, and a bunch of students got together and are saying that they will chant it after the national anthem if it happens. That's what I heard anyway.

 

[Porkchop.sixpack]

Just do it.

to have him just be in our state is embarrassing. He is trouble and loves to call attention to himself.
