The banality of the left. They lack adult judgment, so they descend into silliness.

Removing civil war remembrances will not end racism. It just removed the understanding of the era and the reasons why slavery flurished, how it was justified and the high price we paid getting rid of it. I wrote an article on the subject a while ago. Due to trying to forget something, we may be allowing it back into our lives. http://sherrythornburg.hubpages.com/hub/Flags-Symbols-and-Learning-from-History
Flags, Symbols and Learning from History
Flags are symbols with meaning. While the flag of the Confederacy may have negative connotations, it should never be washed away from public view lest we forget.

Actually, that is the Confederate Battle Flag used by wartime units. General Lee wanted it permanently sheved after the war.....never to fly again because he specifically knew the hatred and division behind that specific flag. It's why the boneheads fly it so much like the KKK and the Nazi's........certainly neither are reflecting the last wishes of the Confederacy by openly displaying the flag. The only reason the flag is still displayed is ether by a breathtakingly ignorant person on Civil War facts OR by a closet racist.

Sgt Kelli Mays You are absolutely correct. You can take down all the statutes throughout the country about our histotical past, dig up all the graves of American's that died for their cause (but let's leave up the Northern Statutes), get rid of all the Conferderate flags from our historical past, but that will not fix the problem. It's has to be directed at the root causes and statutes, graves, and flags aren't the root cause. Wake up America!

I don't think the flag should be in public government places....but for all of the other things...I think they should be left just where they all were for years and years and years...and for years to come....as a reminder of what happened....how it happened...why it happened....what the out come was.....and to learn from it so we and our future generations won't make the same mistakes...
