WilshireTennessee GOP votes to keep Confederate flags in classrooms but ban pride flags
talIt’d be nice if legislators could just let people have whatever flags they want up.
Neither the Confederate flag nor gay pride flags are religious symbols, so it shouldn’t really violate the church-state separation rules.
DeconceptualistUm, except one is an (inaccurate) symbol of oppression and hatred and the other represents freedom and expression…
HikingVetWell, it was one of the battle flags, so it still is a symbol of oppression and hatred, with an added bit of violence thrown in.
It wasn’t even a battle flag, just a portion of one. That’s what I meant by ‘inaccurate’, but I don’t want to get into the nuances because that could detect from the point.
Just to be clear, the point is: fuck racists and bigots. Their bullshit only detracts from civilization.
