A student wore a Confederate flag mask to Oakville High School Tuesday that apparently went either unnoticed or unreported by teachers for two 90-minute classes, upsetting students who reported the mask to their parents.
The male student wore a mask with a prominent Confederate flag on it Tuesday, the first day back in classes for Mehlville School District students since November. As part of coming back to class under the blended/hybrid model in which half the students switch days attending in person, St. Louis County regulations require all students to wear face masks, as they have since the beginning of the year. If students do not have face masks, the district will provide one.
