It should not have come to this. That flag should have been banished long ago because it represents treason.

Before you know it Mississippi will be forced to change there flag. I understand this flag is offensive to some though the backlash against it has gone way overboard! The Politically Correct crowd has won.

Agreed. That's kinda silly. Kids go to U of M knowing damn well what their history is and they certainly know that it's located in Mississippi.
I'm not defending their dumb flag, but if I found it THAT offensive, I'd just go to an out of state school. |

I hope people keep banning things that they find offensive. The pace needs to quicken in a hurry 
Ban more stuff, please. |

It's about time things change. The Confederate flag is traitorous. It shows some people have not moved on. The war is over. The Union won, the Confederacy lost. The desire to keep slavery was a large why Mississippi wanted to secede. The Confederate flag was also flown as a resistance to the Civil Rights movement. It is a throwback to ugly times. |
