In 1961, the South Carolina State Government passed a law mandating that the confederate flag be flown on the ground of its state capitol building. The law was passed to commemorate the centennial of the Civil War assault on Fort Sumter. Opponents argue that the flag is a political symbol that represents racial inequality and should be removed after the shooting deaths of nine African American church members in June 2015. Proponents argue that the flag is an important historical symbol that commemorates the state’s role in the Civil War.

Yes, on historical monuments where it was originally flown only if it is not meant as a message to black people and only meant to symbolize history. Even if I believe it symbolizes rebellion and states' rights, I understand the backlash.
@2VP298Q5yrs5Y
No, it is a flag of a treasonous cabal and therefore should not be flown by any government of the US.
@7GJCNV84yrs4Y
Yes, but only if the state’s population approves of it
@8FPLGKD5yrs5Y
No, but independent citizens have the right to fly any flag they wish on private property.

No, it should only be allowed in museums, because although the flag is a symbol of racism and treason, we need kids to learn about our history.

No, it should only be allowed in museums. The flag is a symbol of racism, separatism and treason, but we need kids to learn about our history so they cant be like the traitors from way down south.
