There have been so many complaints of police brutality and unfair treatment here in Marion, IN. It is time that we as a city come together and ensure that the police be held accountable.

For many Marylanders, the Confederate flag is reasonably and uniquely identified with the history of slavery, white supremacy, and racial violence. In the 20th century, after Brown v. Board of Education was decided, the flag was resurrected as a symbol of Jim Crow segregation and violent opposition to the civil rights movement. Given the Supreme Court's ruling that Confederate flag license plates are government speech, Maryland should not endorse this symbol of hate.

The Confederate Flag represents the false justification for slavery, hatred of African Americans, Latinos, Jews, Asians, and LGBT persons. We do not believe the flag represents the true representation of what Alabama stands for.

With recent events, it is time for all states to stand together in solidarity and begin removing the racist wallpaper that still hangs on government-issued property.

The Confederate flag has rightfully come under scrutiny in the wake of the racially-motivated murder of nine Black community members at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Recent photos of the murderer showed him posing next to his car with Confederate flag license plates. Tennessee is one of only nine states—including South Carolina—that still permits this hateful symbol on government-issued plates.1 It's time to ban this racist symbol from all government-issued license plates. Tell the Tennessee Legislature: Ban Confederate flag license plates now. 1

Being willfully ignorant on this and to allow the Rebel flag to have place in any state representation is to overtly condone hatred and violence.

The confederate flag is a symbol of racial division and oppression and as such the local and federal government should not allow it to be used or displayed at government buildings or on government issued items.

We don’t care to debate whether the Fox commentators are sincere when they voice their corrosive ideas, or if it is simply a matter of a herd mentality that kicks in when more than one of them is in a room and the klieg lights are on, but there is no denying that they and Fox make money off this. This is a classic example of sensationalistic yellow journalism. And it’s worse because it is also ideologically driven, and it perpetuates racist ideology.

Since last week's mass shooting it's become evident that the Confederate flag is a symbol of racism, hatred, and division. It has no place on state property or state issued materials; including vanity car license plates. North Carolina needs to immediately drop the "Sons of Confederate Veterans" license plate from the vanity plate options and pull existing plates of this design when they come up for renewal.

The Confederate flag has no place in today's society.

We call on amazon to follow the lead of Walmart and stop selling Confederate flag merchandise. It would be an important start toward ending public acceptance of this symbol of hate.

The Confederate flag has rightfully come under scrutiny in the wake of the racially-motivated murder of nine Black people at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Recent photos of the murderer showed him posing next to his car with Confederate flag license plates. Virginia should stop issuing license plates that bear this image. Virginia is one of only nine states that still permit this hateful symbol on government-issued plates. The Supreme Court recently ruled that license plates represent government speech, not private speech, and that states may constitutionally refuse to issue such plates. While some may have displayed the Confederate flag for other reasons, it has overwhelmingly come to symbolize racism, and the defense of slavery and segregation. We should send a clear message that Virginia does not stand for these things.
