It also goes to this question. Why was she flying that flag?
Agreed. & we may never know why in this particular example. On the society level?
This article takes a look at Mr. Robinson's assertion on 'Meet the Press':
The Confederate battle flag in South Carolina was first flown at the statehouse in 1961. "It was flown as a symbol of massive resistance to racial desegregation."

...Here we wanted to to answer two questions. One is simple, when did the Confederate battle flag first fly above the South Carolina statehouse? And second, why? ...
I wonder if there are more statues & schools named for Confederate-Americans, especially in the former Slaver States? In some of the articles of secession, that's how they refer to themselves. & yet, in the present day, especially amongst the 'Lost Causers' they assert the War was not fought to preserve & expand the right of the individual to own human beings as property. Go figure.

An interesting read.

Go figure the northern states skate scrutiny.
People just crack me up.
Unbiased people recognize the southern fight against the Union, to stand independent liken to the U.S. fight to stand independent from Great Britain. People can blame the money making scheme all they want, however, it doesn't take away from the fact, the civil war, was a war against unionized government.
The same tactic is used when discussing the ME civil war, where there are those that will call it a religious war, where in reality it is a war to establish a specific type of government and rule of laws.

It's all just tomatoes right?
Have you read the Constitution of the Confederate States of America?
Precisely how did the Confederate States of America intend to be different from the United States of America & why.

When I come into threads of this nature I find all the usual posters all with the same posts show up as well.
People do know the answer. Accepting that answer, is not something they will do.
It was a strategy of the Northern States to change the perception of those looking at the southern people and to present those in the Northern States as different when in actuality there was not a difference in the least. Yet, it worked and has worked for 150 years.
It matters not as to a person's race on whether or not they acknowledge it.
That which brought us united as a nation, continues to keep us divided and so the story goes.
Her employer is government.... They cannot hire, or fire you for your beliefs.
The fact that her employer is a municipality has no bearing on the labor law in this case.
I don't know where you live, but in the United States, your employer can fire you for your beliefs, provided they do not fall into a 'protected class.' (race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age and disability.)
Some states might have more-restrictive laws at the state level which restrict what reasons an employer can fire an employee for, but as Georgia is a far-right, pro-employer state, it will obviously err on the side of the "rights of the employer." You know, gotta be "business friendly," and giving employers maximum control is part of that philosophy.
Georgia recognizes the doctrine of employment at will. Employment at will means that in the absence of a written contract of employment for a defined duration, an employer may terminate an employee for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all, so long as it is not an illegal cause.
