Confederate flag displayed early Friday in Kickapoo High parking lot
Early Friday, as a group of Kickapoo High students prepared to mark the national Day of Silence — to raise awareness about the bullying and intimidation of LGBTQ students —a few students drove through the parking lot, waving flags.
A district spokesman said "three or four" students were circling through the parking lots of the high school in vehicles displaying the American flag. At least one also showed off a Confederate battle flag.
The unusual activity, which may have been a counter protest, topped off a difficult week at Kickapoo.
At least twice in the past week, spirit week posters created by the school's Gay Straight Trans Alliance, or GSTA, were ripped off the wall. They were designed to mark activities and raise awareness leading up to the Day of Silence.
