North Carolina high school recalls yearbook after Confederate flag appears on cover

A North Carolina high school has recalled its yearbooks after officials were alerted that a Confederate flag appeared on its cover.

Thomasville City Schools said in a statement shared on Facebook on Wednesday that all of the Thomasville High School yearbooks were collected after officials were informed about the "inappropriate picture."

The picture in question was included in a collage of photos that showcased the school's history. According to the school, a picture "used from the class of 1968, had the words 'Go Dogs' being held in front of the Confederate flag."

"Swift action is being taken to remove the picture from all yearbook covers and provide new books to students and staff," the statement concluded. "We apologize for such an egregious error and vow to have a system in place to prevent such mistakes from happening again."

why was this story picked up by The Hill? I thought that publication was limited to governmental news & events. Are they trying to get neoconfederates all wee-weed up?
