A PARADE OF CONFEDERATE FLAGS IN ONE TOWN TONIGHT. PEOPLE IN WALDRON THIS EVENING GATHERED TO FLY THEIR CONFEDERATE FLAGS, AFTER THE SCHOOL TOLD A GROUP OF STUDENTS THEY COULDN'T HAVE THE FLAGS ON THEIR TRUCKS AT SCHOOL. THE SUPERINTENDENT SAYS SOME MIGHT FIND THE FLAGS OFFENSIVE. ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS SAYS HE HAS A DIFFERENT VIEW OF WHAT IT STANDS FOR. DAKOTA SIMS, ORGANIZER "it's America, this is a free state. Like that flag represents freedom. Just like that American flag represents freedom. People died for both of them. Why not fly both of them?" ANOTHER MAN SAID HE SUPPORTS HIS FRIENDS, BUT SEES HOW THE FLAGS COULD SEND THE WRONG MESSAGE. IRVING LEDESMA, STUDENT "I can understand trying to take pride, but is it worth it? That's the real question." THAT MAN SAYS HE'S AFRAID THE FLAGS WILL GIVE THE TOWN A BAD IMAGE.
