Dear Mr. Edgerton,

My name is Robert Tebault and i live in Virginia Beach Virginia. I have recently found my self struggling to defend my heritage in school. I am proud if my southern roots and have no problem defending the truth, honor, and integrity of my heritage and the South. The difficulty in it tho is i am only one of a couple people who know the truth and are willing to defend it. There are about 2000 people including teachers at my school. It is a predominately black school, but unfortunately my problem isn't that is a black school, it is that these students are being taught from family members and school officials that the Confederate Flag is a symbol of racism. By no means am i racist, but i have found my self going as far as getting into fights with other students defending my name and heritage as not being racist or a racist symbol. I am sad to say i am quickly running out of "ammo" ageist the community when it comes to showing them the truth. If you in any way might be able to give some advice or know a way that might help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
