Looks like the Gov. of California has banned the Confederate flag:
"Starting next year, the Confederate flag will no longer be available for sale or on display at government agencies in California. Governor Jerry Brown has signed a new law that prohibits selling or displaying items that have the flag on it."
What are you thoughts on this new ban?

This article is misleading. The Confederate Flag wasn't banned... it just won't be sold at Government agencies. I think the Governor has the right to decide what to sell at "Government Stores" -- I'm actually not sure why they would be selling any flag other than the American or State flag to begin with.

As usual, you are spot on, Sir! In the original article I read a while back, the 'replica flag' referred to in this article was actually replica confederate currency which was being sold at the gift shop in the State Capitol building. The law has zero effect on private individuals or businesses.

LTC Yinon Weiss Some "government stores" will sell you all the flags that were part of American history. For example you can go to the gift shop in a DC "government store" and buy the flag for any state you wanted.

Stories like this make me so happy I don't write for a click-bait happy magazine.
I appreciate that the internet makes the world smaller and we can all stay better informed about what's happening in the world, but I wish more of the media organizations giving us that information would take their responsibilities seriously.
