Students at a public high school in Tennessee brought a "Trail of Tears" banner to a football playoff game last week, Mother Jones reports.

Photos of the banner were posted on a Facebook page managed by the coaching staff at Dyersburg High School. But after Mother Jones asked the principal about them, they were removed.

"I will be leaving here and going to the fieldhouse as soon as you and I are done," principal Jon Frye told Mother Jones.
