news-today.world | The announcement of the decision comes during a tumultuous time in the community and around the nation. Following the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, Confederate imagery has been under attack, including those statues of or institutions named after Confederate military men.

This week, a group of Midland ISD alumni created a petition calling for a name change at Lee High School.

VanHoozer told television station KOSA the following about the suspension of “Dixie”: “It came up partly because of those discussions because of what’s going on nationally and we also want our kids to be safe when they travel out of town and playing this in other areas so the decision at this time is to halt the playing of it for the time being.”

Lee had changed its fight song decades ago, the result of a settlement of a lawsuit regarding the name of the school. At the time, the school board terminated the use of the battle flag and offered instructions about the playing of “Dixie” as the school’s song.

Notes from “Dixie” stayed in the fight song played at football games and other school-sanctioned events.
