Orange County Schools in North Carolina adopted a new dress code Monday (Aug. 14) that bans the Confederate flag, swastikas and Ku Klux Klan symbols from students' clothing, WNCN TV reports.
The policy had been under discussion for months, with Orange County school leaders originally settling on a general ban on "disruptive" clothing with discretion left to school principals as to what would be allowed. But following Saturday's death of an opposition protestor during the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, specific language mentioning the Confederate flag and the KKK was added.
White supremacists accounted for the large majority of attendees in Charlottesville, where they rallied against the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue from the University of Virginia campus.
Orange County is next to Durham County, where protestors Monday night pulled down a statue of a Confederate soldier. On Tuesday morning, Sheriff Mike Andrews said his department would be investigating to determine who took down the statue with plans to arrest the persons responsible.
