The U.S. Department of Education says it will look into a "Redneck Day" celebration held by Queen Creek High School in Arizona. Critics say one student wore a Confederate flag to the event and that created a racially hostile atmosphere.

Then they're really going to hate Redneck History Month.

At least no dogs were shot!

Give them time, the investigation is just getting started.

The Department of Education is bitter, and clinging to its guns and faith in "diversity".

[Doctor Whom]

Remember that under diversity, all cultures are equal, but some cultures are more equal than others.

"Redneck Day" celebration held by Queen Creek High School in Arizona.

Other than AZ not actually having rednecks, its kinda heartening that our schools are actually teaching some history.

[SugarFree]

Arizona has rednecks. Every state has rednecks. For the redneck shall always be with us.

[Agammamon]

No, we've got hippies and white trash - any rednecks we have are immigrants. And you know what AZ does to immigrants.

[SugarFree]

Welcomes them with open arms?

Anyway, I accept David Cross' argument.

"Welcome to our cultural-diversity seminar on Redneck Day.

"These are called 'grits.' Don't worry if you've never seen a grit before - they're perfectly safe to eat-try some.

"These are moon pies. Our health guidelines don't allow you to eat these, but you can sniff them.

"You notice that I am wearing a pair of overalls. These keep your pants up when you're working on the farm. [students scribble furiously in their notebooks and tap on their devices]

"This is a baseball cap I'm wearing. Notice that the brim is on the front, not in the back like with normal people. This is why rednecks get sunburned on the back of their necks, hence the name 'redneck.' [more furious scribbling on notebooks and typing in devices]

"I hope that you have learned something about our redneck fellow-citizens."

"This a dawg. It hasn't been neutered, lives outside, eats table scraps and will probably disappear within a year."

[Careless]

meh, farm people cut the nuts off animals like I peel an apple.

It's too bad the PC twits have made such a fuss over the Confederate Battle Flag. Before they made it a badge of anti-buttinski honor to wear it, it was a pretty good tag for recognizing jerks from a distance.

[Eduard van Haalen]

Exactly. The lure of the forbidden.

[Doctor Whom]

The PC twits have an awesome talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

What about Cinco de Redneck?

You must mean February 5, Darrell Waltrip's birthday.
