We must educate our children about the difference of truth and lies, so they can understand the difference between freedom and tyranny. If children do not understand what is 'right' they will ultimately except wrong as right... Many suffer from this wrong teaching already..They are taught that their heritage is racist and proud symbols of their fathers are of hate. If a parent, please teach you kids truth about their proud Southron heritage...Our honoured past is in your hands will it be passed to the hands of your children's??...PoP
"The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was." Milan Kundera

Southern parents, please, remove your children from the "Government Schools" (public schools), teach them at home yourself, or put them in private schools. The "Teacher's Labor Union" (The Politically Correct Police) is teaching your children to hate, despise, and deny their Southern heritage.... Clement T. Elliot
"Let us be certain that our children know that the war between the States was not a contest for the preservation of slavery, as some would have them to believe, but that it was a great struggle for the maintenance of Constitutional rights, and that men who fought Were warriors tried and true, Who bore the flags of a Nation's trust, And fell in a cause, though lost, still just, And died for me and you."
....J. Taylor Ellyson

"Southron youth, you have no reason to be ashamed of your ancestors.
See to it that they have no reason to be ashamed of you!"...Charlie Reese

In such a condition there may possible be a solid and honourable peace; and one in which the South may still preserve many things dear to her in the past. There may not be a political South. Yet there may be a social and intellectual South. But if, on the other hand, the South, mistaking the consequences of the war, accepts the position of the inferiour, and gives up what was never claimed or conquered in the war; surrenders her schools of intellect and thought, and is left only with the brutal desire of the conquered for "bread and games:" then indeed to her people may be applied what Tacitus wrote of those who existed under the Roman Empire: "We cannot be said to have lived, but rather to have crawled in silence, the young towards the decrepitude of age and the old to dishonourable graves."Edward A. Pollard, pub. 1866:
Dixie Outfitters supports all students who wish to show their pride in their Southern Heritage by wearing shirts to school that feature the Confederate Battle Flag.
We believe that banning of the Confederate Battle Flag by public schools is a violation of students right to freedom of speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Further, these unconstitutional bans discriminate against persons of Southern heritage and are an insult to those who have Confederate ancestors. Such discrimination is a violation of the Civil Rights act of 1964.
These bans perpetuate ignorance and misunderstanding about the true history of the Confederacy and the Confederate Battle Flag. It is the mandate of public schools to educate its students in true history. The Confederate Battle flag is a historical flag of the Southern soldier who fought for the principles espoused by the founding fathers of the United States. Historical facts, not politically correct positions should be taught by our schools.
It is not the mandate of our public schools to deny its students of the fundamental freedoms enjoyed by American citizens. It is not the mandate of our schools to deny Southern students symbols of their heritage while allowing other ethnicities their symbols of heritage. Public school students who are denied their freedom to express themselves should protest this injustice.
Dixie Outfitters new series of shirts called " Public School Protest Shirts" are designed to help students who feel abused and discriminated against because of their Southern heritage. These shirts do not contain the Confederate Battle Flag but do effectively communicate your feelings regarding the trampling of your rights.
