No pride flags but Confederate and Nazi may be okay.

This discussion continues to amaze me, tarring today’s democrats for their support of segregation defies history, sort of like tarring today’s republicans for nominating Nixon three times. (Of course GOPer Roger Stone apparently still has that Nixon tattoo on his back.). Reminds me of a friend of mine who, when notified of a past due credit card bill he had forgotten about, said he would pay the principal but not the interest cause he didn’t “believe in time.”
 
Schools should fly the American flag, the State flag and not much else.

politics have no place in the classroom.

Celebrating the Confederacy is not “retaining history”.

Lost Cause lies, in fact, do not have anything to do with “history”.

Idaho’s flag ban took effect April 3, barring government buildings from displaying any flags except those on a short list including the U.S. flag, flags of military branches and official flags of government entities.
