Tell South Carolina and other states that symbols of hate won't be tolerated; pull federal funding until every confederate flag and other symbols of hate and racism are eliminated from state and federal properties.
Why is this important?
Symbols of hate and racism on state and federal properties (other than in a historic context, such as a museum) give legitimacy to that hate and racism, as seen in Charleston, SC, recently. Neither the states, nor the federal government should be festering that hate by the display of any of these symbols.
