Good news for the great state of California. We don't put up with this nonsense around here...
Quote:
California lawmakers hauled down the Confederate flag this week -- figuratively speaking -- as both houses of the state legislature gave final approval to a bill banning the state government from displaying or selling items featuring the Civil War emblem.
The bill, AB 2444, passed the last legislative hurdle on Thursday when the California State Assembly voted yes 66-1, with only former gubernatorial candidate Tim Donnelly (R-Twin Peaks) voting no, the Los Angeles Times reported. The measure would still permit the flag's use in school textbooks, public museums and other educational settings.
"No Californian should be exposed to the type of hate or threat of violence caused by the image of the Confederate flag," the bill's author, Assemblyman Isadore Hall III (D-Compton), said in a press release.
Put it in museum along with dodge balls, and other memorbelia from the past. While they are at it they might want to ban the display of gang colors and tattoos. They are currently more offensive to far more people than the CF.
I suppose they will get around to banning the American flag next. I know, let them fly the Nancy Poloski flag. That should keep down the **** roaches out there.
That's good news, but it's California, where people are diverse and educated. This country will be making real progress when this happens in the deep South.
