What Aiken Said
The Republican Party was in sorry shape in 1938, two years into the second term of President Franklin Roosevelt. Voters had repudiated the Republicans in 1932 and 1936 amid the misery of the Great Depression. Roosevelt stumbled in his second term, but the Republicans had not found their voice. When it came time for the meeting of the National Republican Club at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City, party leaders turned to the governor of Vermont to deliver a speech addressing the nation. They got perhaps more than they bargained for. Gov. George Aiken spoke up on behalf of the farmers and working men who had formed the Republican Party in 1854.

A Tennessee school district has banned students from bringing American flags to campus because it doesn’t want to take a chance on students bringing any flags that could be seen as offensive by others. The Dickson County School District’s decision came after a summer of heated debate over the Confederate flag and its removal from the grounds of the South Carolina statehouse, after authorities say a white supremacist went on a shooting rampage at a historically black church in Charleston. The controversial banner was also removed from the Alabama state Capitol grounds. The American flag just outside the entrance to the district’s schools will stay, but students who wish to express themselves more personally won’t be able to.
