Three students were disciplined after a Confederate flag was brought to Coral Reef Senior High School, Miami-Dade County Public Schools officials said Monday.
The three students, who are all in 12th grade, were disciplined after the flag was brought to the school on Southwest 142nd Street last week, officials said.
"Miami-Dade County Public Schools respects and encourages freedom of speech and expression, but our priority is to ensure we maintain an environment conducive to teaching and learning," the school district said in a statement.
