One Queen Creek High student wore a Confederate flag during the May 1 event, which was inspired by the popular A&E show “Duck Dynasty.” Civil rights activists say that created a racially hostile environment. The U.S. Department of Education plans to investigate a controversial “Redneck Day” celebration two months ago at an Arizona high school.
But it also says in a letter that the investigation’s scope “will be limited to whether a racially hostile environment was created due to language and actions that were not protected by the First Amendment.” The day was supposed to prompt kids at Queens Creek High School to dress like members of the reality show cast, but instead it was seen as offensive when students arrived at the school in stereotypical clothing.
