Why did the teacher interrupt? This is the History some states want its teachings banned.

who express the truth about America’s racist history and present. Not sure how that will shake out, but the GOPer anti-CRT types must be opposed.

Notice that they identify it as "The Confederate Flag".

Confederate Flag ad from the time of LBJ.

Its supporters have long said it's not just a Southern symbol.

"The Confederate Flag is no longer a sectional emblem. It is now the symbol of the White
race and White supremacy."
