West Monroe High School has been described by a local Louisiana media outlet as “Louisiana’s most racist high school,” and it will be the only school from Louisiana to participate in the inauguration on January 20.
In particular, the school, which has the “Rebels” as a mascot, is known for flying the Confederate flags at sporting events. Although the use of the flag has been restricted because of public outcry, it is still allowed in the stadium.
House Majority Whip Steve Scalise was the one to nominate the school’s band to perform at the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.

West Monroe High School is trash for allowing the Confederate flag at events and trash for agreeing to play at Trump's inauguration.
