Learn Your History Or You'll Look Stupid - Juliet Nelson period 9

The issue of the Confederate flag is still that, an issue. In Greene County, Tennessee there was a debate on whether or not they should fly the Confederate flag at the Court House. Luckily 20 people voted no, but there was one person who voted yes. The man who voted yes was Commissioner Buddy Randolph, a 67-year-old politician (who should probably retire). Claiming it is “just a part of history” Randolph says that ‘if people have a problem with, it it’s their problem”. This view of history of course, is quite skewed because Greene County was in fact, anti-Confederate.

Buddy Randolph was the ONLY person to vote in Greene County to fly the Confederate flag outside of the city courthouse. Thankfully 20 people thought about modern politics and how our country runs today and decided to vote against flying the flag. This one man, on the wrong side of whatever messed up history he thinks he knows, voted to fly a flag that not only offends people but also doesn’t even support his claims of history. Greene County Tennessee didn’t even support the

Confederacy, that flag wasn’t even truly a part of their history, idiot. I understand that many people think it should be shown, and I agree, in a museum like Nazi flags are in Germany. It should be taught and learned in schools, and obviously also in our government, because the leaders who are running our country don’t even know what cities supported the Confederacy! Learn your history people! It could just save you’re a** from looking stupid in front of the entire country.
