The mustachioed mascot at Hays High School looks like he’s hopping mad.
If so, he’s got his reasons. First, “Colonel Jack” lost his belt buckle bearing the Stars and Bars. Then the carpetbaggers commandeered his pistols, replacing
them with a couple of harmless flags.
At least no one’s tried to strip him of his uniform. Might there be a pair of long johns beneath those Confederate grays?
In the past few weeks, a rebel yell has been raised to protect Colonel Jack from any further insult. Hays High School alumni and athletic supporters are coming together to save their mascot from the dustbin of history, much like the fate of actual Rebels who fought during the Civil War.
“Don’t take the rebel away!” implores one Facebook group, which boasts more than 100 members.
But those sympathizers are just whistling Dixie, according to Hays High School Principal David Pierce.
“It’s all rumor,” he said. “It’s all false. I have not tried to change any mascot, nor have I wanted to change the mascot.”
It’s not even up for discussion, Pierce added.
“There’s not been anyone that’s approached me about it,” he said. “I’m sure there’s people out there that don’t like it. Really, that could be said for a lot of mascots.”
The mascot has been around almost as long as football coach Bob Shelton, who retired after the end of last season. Shelton had coached at Hays since it opened in 1968, and at Buda High School four years before that.
“As far as I know, people will take that mascot, and different organizations will do different things with it,” Shelton said. “The ones we use for athletics, I think he still has guns in his hands.”
People have argued that Confederate imagery, including the rebel, is a painful reminder of slavery. At the collegiate level, the University of Mississippi’s mascot, Colonel Reb, was retired in 2003. Last year, Ole Miss replaced him with an anthropomorphic black bear.
About 10 high schools around Texas boast Rebel mascots.
The original Colonel Jack, though, was no rebel. Jack C. Hays, the namesake of Hays High School and Hays County, was a former Texas Ranger who lived in California during the Civil War.
During the fighting, he remained neutral.

Thanks for revealing your ideas on this blog. In addition, a myth regarding the banking companies intentions when talking about foreclosures is that the financial institution will not getreceive my repayments. There is a specific amount of time that the bank requires payments occasionally. If you are far too deep inside hole, they are going to commonly desire that you pay the actual payment in whole. However, that doesn’t mean that they will have any sort of repayments at all. In case you and the financial institution can find a way to work a little something out, a foreclosure course of action may end. However, in case you continue to miss out on payments wih the new system, the foreclosure process can pick up from where it was left off.
