For years, a clique of students at the high school in this prosperous and overwhelmingly white borough in Lancaster County have worn clothes adorned with Confederate flags and parked their pickup trucks in a section of the school parking lot known as ''redneck row.''

The display, some parents of minority students say, was just one symptom of festering racism that school officials ignored until a racial taunting incident last week.

And unlike many on the Right, I am glad that it is protected as free speech.

PS; for the conservative whiners, it should be noted that the article linked to also stated that the student's display of the Confederate flag was protected under the First Amendment.
