Apartheid Flag Flies High

A school in the North-West Province is said to still be flying the old South African Flag on its masts. I found this story on the Citizens news page.

How sad is that? What is wrong with people (that's the second time today that i've asked that question)? Can these fools not see what they are doing to the children at that school?

The Christelike Volksonderwys (CVO) School is apparently still singing Die Stem at school assemblies instead of the new national anthem (I say new as if it was implemented a week ago... IT'S BEEN OVER 10 YEARS!!!!).

School management claims that the old anthem and flag are cultural expression. What the hell does cultural expression have to do with representing the new and 'non-racial' world of South Africa today? These people are morons and I don't feel bad saying that. Wake up and smell 2006 you idiots.
