From the Oct. 29, 2015, Google Alerts for Confederate.
Confederate clothing causes controversy. (Illinois) (Loss) Urbana Middle School boy told he couldn't wear a Confederate hoodie featuring the Confederate Flag and the word "Redneck." If they are going to ban this, any tee shirt with rap groups should also be banned because of what they rap about.
Officials aiming to have Confederate Flag display ready by Jan. 1st. (South Carolina) (Win) This is in regard to the Confederate Flag removed from the South Carolina State House earlier this year. It will be displayed in the South Carolina Confederate Room and Military Museum.
I did not have a problem with this one coming down as it was flown in defiance of the Civil Rights Movement. However, any flags flown at a Confederate memorial should be allowed to remain.
Confederate symbols create tension for UGA campus community (Red and Black, student newspaper at University of Georgia) (Loss) A very anti-Confederate article There is a Confederate monument off campus, but students are forced to walk by it. About 100 UGA students and alumni died fighting for the Confederacy. Joseph Le Conte fought for the Confederacy and Le Conte Hall named for him.
The article then listed what other colleges have done against the Confederacy. Until last March, traditional Southern fraternities KA and SAE held a Mahnolia Ball and Old South Week honoring the old South They often dressed in Confederate uniforms. These uniforms were banned in 2010
The Confederate Flag is a symbol of a racist country. (Loss) As is the United States flag.
Confederate Flag lawsuit against Danville dismissed. (Virginia) (Loss) Again, we will not get a favorable ruling from the justice system.
AND, MEANWHILE, in Chicago this last weekend, thirty people were shot, mostly blacks. Again, the Confederate Flag does not go around shooting blacks.
