Tucker Carlson’s The Daily Caller totally doesn’t get why the Confederate battle flag is totally different from the rainbow symbol of the LGBT movement.
At Tahoma High School in the nether suburbs of Seattle, it’s totally okay to display a gay-pride flag, but two juniors were suspended for three days for wearing Confederate flags at school.
An unnamed school district spokesman said that a sophomore had been exhibiting a gay-pride flag at Tahoma High for the last two weeks, reports local CBS affiliate KIRO. When the two juniors showed up on Tuesday in a common area wearing the Confederate flags as a political statement in response, they were suspended.
School officials said the Confederate flags caused a disruption because some students were upset. The officials added that the garb was an undisclosed violation of the Tahoma High dress code.
At least one of the unidentified, Confederate flag-wearing students wore the controversial symbol around his neck in some fashion.
See, the rainbow flag is all about tolerance and — ah screw it.
