Christiansburg High School

Students suspended for clothing displaying Confederate flag

Montgomery County Public Schools spokeswoman Brenda Drake says the clothing violated Christiansburg High School's dress code.

Drake tells WSLS-TV that the students refused to comply with the dress code after they arrived at the school Thursday. They were given one-day in-school suspensions.

But she says a majority of the students didn't follow in-school suspension rules and were given out of-school suspensions.
