if you want respect for diversity, you should respect white southerners. he may have been southern or appalachian or whatever, but to call him a redneck in this forum makes me mad. the hat may have offended people, but he does have the right to wear it. unless you have a rule that no hats are allowed in class, it seems unfair to isolate him. my guess is the students will isolate him on their own without your help. having come from the ghetto of LA to the bible belt, i have had a head-on culture clash with the students here in kentucky but i have gotten pretty close to them because of the mutual respect we show each other. i have them believing in feminism and liberal politics and all kinds of things they would have completely resisted if i came in accusing them of back-ass-ward-ness.
