West High School and Murvul Rebels

[Pappy]

I see all of the rallying against Murvul, but is West High getting petitions to change their mascot name?

How long until Tennessee has to drop their Volunteer name and logo because of the racists who crossed state lines with unregistered weapons in order to oppress and murder immigrants coming into TX in the 19th century? Asking for a friend.

You are talking about the town of Maryville, right? It's about 20 miles south of Knoxville? Why are you spelling it like that? Just curious.

Disrespectful, IMO. Say it however you want, but Spell it right.

Do West students even do stuff like Maryville does, like drive around town with the Confederate flag, or are they just similar in name only? I know Maryville nixed the flags at games, but if I remember right they're still pretty much unofficially a thing. Not sure there's an apples to apples comparison to be had between the two schools.

Good lord, really? Find something reasonable to get your panties bunched up over.

From my experience, you never see rebel flags from people that are associated with West High School.

My Opinion, as I clarified. Too bad we are now disallowing opinions .

Unregistered weapons? At the time, there was no such thing as a registered weapon.

Satirical references without historical accuracy just spreads ignorance. As if trying to get the woke people's heads outta their backsides isn't hard enough.
