Your thoughts about the confederate flag

[jcrew2001]

I'm from mass so I don't have any favortism towards the confederate flag. I was reading about this article on FR regarding these 2 high school girls who sued so they can bring dixie-flag purses to school, which seems a bit ridiculous and a waste of taxpayer money on the judicial system. But everyone at FR seemed to support this lawsuit and this attack of Political correctness.

I'm just wondering what everyone here thinks about the dixie flag and whether it should be allowed at school or anywhere?

Although the dixie flag may symbolize southern heritage it also symbolizes the confederacy's support for the state's right to have slavery. Also, the flag is blatantly un-patriotic towards america. Its as if those people who like the dixie flag support souther secession and balkanization. Instead of supporting one nation, they only support the South.

Coming from the North, I just don't understand the hypocracy, I know things move slower down there, but it seems like they are just resistant to any change at all.
