After a two-day controversy over the Confederate flag at Vinton-Shellsburg High School, and incidents of mailbox vandalism by suspects whom one witness identified as high school students with Confederate flags on their vehicles .. school officials have reached an agreement with the student whose flag began the dispute ...
The issue began when one class of students began a survey, asking their peers for their opinion on the Confederate flag issue. On Wednesday, one student said negative things about the Confederate flag, prompting two students to place them on their vehicles on Thursday. One of those two, Hunter Gray, refused to take down his flag, and said he was asked to leave. Several more students brought Confederate flags to school on Friday ...
Hainstock reports that during the Sunday evening meeting, Gray said he does not plan to display the Confederate flag on his truck as he enters the parking lot and he does plan to attend classes.
“Mr. Kingsbury had two other students tell him they would be attending class tomorrow as well. Other students may elect to fly flags or park on side streets,” says Hainstock.
