==Flag controversy==
Line 189:
The original decision to name the school the "South Rebels" stemmed from the original Union High, with "South Rebels" seeming to some to be the logical name for the school after the "Union" was split.{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}} However, opponents argued that the school's name and logo seemed to celebrate the Confederacy, whose reasons for seceding from the Union had strong ties to the institution of slavery, and that the school was named during the Civil Rights Era.
 
In October 2010, a shirt depicting a re-coloration of the Confederate Flag was sold in the spirit shop. The principal decided to pull the shirts. The spirit shop offered to refund any money students paid for the shirt or to replace them with a less inflammatory version. However, many students chose to keep the Confederate flag shirt as ana expressioncelebration of supportslavery forand their traditional flagtreason.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news-herald.com/articles/2010/10/12/news/nh3155158.txt|title=South High T-shirts pulled|publisher=}}</ref>
