I get what you're saying, and I too support people flying whatever flag they want. However; to the bolded, wouldn't the better choice be the the Gadsden Flag?

That's a good one as well. As to which is better, that's a matter of preference. I think in contemporary times, the rebel flag is more antagonistic toward the NWO.

Anywhere in the nation as long as it flies on private property. I suspect that many who object to the confederate flag being flown anywhere in the country had no issue with a California school banning the American flag during Cinco Demayo.

Their choice, I have one I have never flown because I have some people down the way that I know would offended, doesn't bother me in the least. They banned T-shirts with it on it, nice try, too bad it was a total failure.

For me, I would see the Gadsden Flag as more antagonistic to them.

When I enlisted in the Navy I took an oath to defend the Constitution. They didn't carve anything out.

If one wants to fly it, it's their business. Don't like the Confederate Flag? Don't buy one.

People get too caught up in wanting to catch offense at everything they see.
Most people understand what the confederate flag means. There are very few assumptions...

That had nothing to do with Cinco Demayo itself. The kids of mexican heritage wanted to hold a celebration, they got permission from the school to do so. Some kids who saw that as "anti Americans" then decided they would all wear and bring American flags on the day of the celebration and antagonize those who decided to celebrate Cinco Demayo and even causing a small riot. tensions at the school continued to rise for about a week, and the school decided to tell everyone to leave their flags at home.

In conservative media, the lie of what happen lapped the world 10 times before the truth got its pants on.
