DAPHNE, Ala. (WKRG) — A former Daphne High School cheerleader and her mother are speaking out following a controversial photo of her old teammates posing with a T-shirt with an image of the Confederate flag.

A picture of some Daphne High School cheerleaders posing with a T-shirt that reads “I love redneck boys” with the Confederate flag designed into the shape of a heart, is what Reagan Coleman and her mother Latitiah said reminds them of a dark time in American history.


Back to school, folks.
