Principal Carter,

The following pictures and email was sent to Dixie Outfitters by one of our customers.

I wanted you to see how much we love our Southern heritage.

It is hard for me to imagine how you can deny the children in you school the freedom to be proud of their family, ancestors and southern heritage.

How cruel and heartless can you be?

Your failure to respect the feelings and beliefs of other people and to ban a symbol that means so much to so many without any reason, other than  only  your own biased opinion, is the most bigoted act I have seen in many years.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Dewey Barber
President, Dixie Outfitters

Hey Joann, this is Shawn with Southern Impulse,

here are the pics of the funeral of the kids we lost in a tragic boating accident on Lake George, in central Florida on Memorial day weekend. My nephew Clay who was 4, Ciara who was 14, and Cole who was 5. They loved to wear their Dixie Outfitters shirts so much that we did a Dixie Outfitters themed funeral.

Thank you so much for allowing us to do this.

Shawn
