Symbols of hate and division have no place in our government. It's akin to flying the Union Jack in America after our victory in the Revolutionary War or having the swastika fly in Germany following WWII. Time to stand up for what's right and take down the Confederate Flag!
Why is this important?
Symbols of hate have no place in our government.
The Confederate flag is not a symbol of southern pride, but rather a symbol of rebellion and racism. In the S.C. Declaration of Causes of Session it clearly states that the reason for leaving the union was over the right to own slaves. It's time to put the symbol of that rebellion behind us and move toward healing and a better United States of America!
