A Georgia teacher was placed on leave after saying a Confederate flag signals backwardness from those who display it.

The Hephzibah High School teacher, who has not been named, was placed on administrative leave after projecting a Confederate flag and the statement: “A sticker you put on the back of your pickup truck to announce that you intend to marry your sister. Think of it like a white trash ‘Save The Date’ card.”
