"We must no longer allow Southern schools to be anti-Southern indoctrination centers."

Have you noticed that some of the worst heritage violators in Dixie are schools?  I don't mean just colleges and universities.  We know the institutions of higher learning in the South have long since gone over to the socialist enemy.  Political correctness rules both faculty and student body on U.S. college campuses, which one conservative writer has called "little ivy-covered North Koreas."

So you might be dismayed when some indoctrinated student writes an anti-Southern article in some college newspaper in Dixie -- but you probably aren't surprised.

What is surprising, and more than dismaying, are the nebulous "policies" of our high schools and grammar schools that can be, and with increasing frequency are, aimed at restricting the Constitutional right of free expression for proSouthern students. Northwest Floridians recently found out about this first hand.  (See "Heritage Violation in Milton, Florida.)

In many instances, the policies by which children are singled out and punished for wearing heritage clothing or flying a Confederate flag (or, in one case, simply drawing one) are often nonspecific.  Teachers, principals and administrators are given far too much leeway in interpreting the policies.

In other cases, the policies are explicit, and begin with the assumption that Confederate symbols are racist and evil.  Add anti-Southern bigotry to a long list of reasons why more parents in Dixie homeschool their children each year. 

But for those who cannot homeschool their children, or can't afford to put them in private schools, we must all take the responsibility of protecting Southern heritage from anti-Southern bigotry in Dixie's halls of learning.

Southrons need to contact every last school district in the South and find out the policy on displaying Confederate symbols.  If a negative policy is in place, work to change it.  Also check the curriculum.  Is Southern history being accurately taught?  If not, insist on it.  Make a fuss about it.  If necessary, run for a seat on the school board yourself to make the changes.

If you haven't had many dealings with public schools in a while, you might be surprised to find out what enormous bureaucracies they have become.  Where I live, the school district is conspicuously topheavy with administration.  The nepotism is blatant.  Unending turf-battles have become a bad joke to many in the community.

It won't be easy, tackling these dragons of bureaucracy, and success may not be evident for a while.  Still, we've got to start some time.

We should set up a volunteer Southern Education Committee to serve as a central information source.  School policies and other pertinent data regarding schools, gathered by volunteers in individual school districts, would be sent to the committee for for evaluation, and inclusion in a central database.  The information would be available to parents, Southron educators,  heritage groups and other interested parties.

Naturally, school officials across Dixie should be informed that their districts are being monitored for fairness to Southern students. 

We must no longer allow Southern schools free rein to be anti-Southern indoctrination centers.
