The state senator said the mask was more similar to the Kentucky or Tennessee flag.
Zorn on Friday told WLNS he told his wife the mask would probably"raise some eyebrows."
"It was not a Confederate flag," he said."I think even if it was a Confederate flag, you know, we should be talking about teaching our national history in schools. And that’s part of our national history, and it’s something we can’t just throw away because it is part of our history. And if we want to make sure that the atrocities that happened during that time doesn’t happen again, we should be teaching it. Our kids should know what that flag stands for.
