They're rebels without a clue.

High school students wearing prom dresses and tuxedos posed with a Confederate battle flag, an assault weapon and a rifle with a tactical scope at a Denver prom over the weekend.

Eight Chaparral High School students, three of them displaying the flag and the others either holding guns or pretending to, posed for the offensive photo shoot that circulated on Facebook, KDVR reported.

"When he got out there he was surprised that guns were brought out and the Confederate flag was brought out," the mom of one teen told KDVR. "There were other parents there fully supporting it and taking pictures."
A group of students from Chaparral High School in Parker, Colo., took a prom photo posing with a Confederate flag and rifles.

The anonymous mom spoke at the school, located southeast of Denver in Parker, Colo. She called the teens immature but said the parents encouraging the brash photo bordered on being racist.

It's unclear if the Chaparral students were disciplined for the Saturday stunt, but fellow classmates were not amused.

"Clearly, that's not OK at all," one student not involved with the act told KDVR. "I don't know why they would pose with that flag."
