The Confederacy Under Attack-- Part 230: Spoonbread Festival Cancelled Over Confederate Flag

From the March 31-April 1, 2016, Google Alerts

**  Indian River County School District discusses possibility of banning Confederate Flag.  (Florida)  (Loss)

**  Multiple dorm arsons, Confederate Flags put a college on edge.  (St. Mary's College, Maryland)  (Loss, if the dorm arsons are set by our side.)  St. Mary's, Maryland is also the town where there is a big flap about a Confederate Flag flying on private property out by the town's welcome sign.

**  Spoonbread Festival in Kentucky Canned Over Confederate Flag.  (Berea, Kentucky)  (Loss)  This festival draws thousands to the tiny town, but it is now cancelled.  The 20th anniversary was to be September 16-18.  Until last year, there were no problems with the sale of Confederate merchandise, but a few found it offensive last year.  The event drew 60,000 last year.
