Lawmakers Proposing New SD Flag
Local News by Adam Uhernik last edited on Thursday, January 26, 2012
At least 80 South Dakota lawmakers say it's time the state has more than just an official seal. They want an official flag.
Representative Bernie Hunhoff is sponsoring a bill that aims to adopt a flag that would be separate from the state's seal. It would still use the Texas' lone star flag as its inspiration.
Hunhoff says the Texas design is "a source of unity and pride for the state." he adds, "I believe a flag can do the same thing for South Dakota."
A Spearfish artist drew the design, which has a Native American medicine wheel surrounded by yellow rays of sunshine on a sky-blue background.
Right-wing red state South Dakota, who also spots a Constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, is now putting their religious symbols in the tax-payer funded municipal flag:

Does the presence of these religious symbols on a State flag violate the 1st Amendment? Are some people more apathetic to the presence of non-Christian religious symbols? What do you think about the proposed new flag?

I am pretty ignorant on the subject.
I wouldn't consider alchemy to be religious though it involved rituals, spirits, references to diety, and whatnot.
Is this more like a religious symbol or more like an alchemical symbol?
idk
So, then.... everybody would be cool if we changed the SC state flag from this...
