A Confederate flag painting has been removed from a Georgia college's gallery following a public outcry, Gawker reports. Heritage?, which features the flag decorated with images of a lynching and a Klansman, was displayed at a Gainesville State University campus gallery until the administration called for its removal. University faculty member Stanley Bermudez says he painted "what comes to his mind when he thinks of the Confederate flag."
Those who would normally support the display of the flag in the name of free speech really have no principled basis upon which to object to this artist's rendition of it. They may take offense to it, but it is free speech all the same.
