[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flag has been located at a Confederate war memorial since 2000. Furthermore, it's not on a pulley.  It's within view of the state house, not on the state house itself. It's on the northern end of the grounds.

The Confederate flag has a place at the Confederate war memorial - it's a piece of history.

If you want, you can totally re-write the public school history texts and completely eliminate it and the war. Me? I think it's more important for children to understand history.[/quote]

As long as we're talking history, let's talk about when the Confederate flag STARTED being displayed on the state house.  It was in 1963, the same year that four litle girls were killed in a bomb blast at their church in Birmingham.  The same year as Medgar Evers assassination.  The same year that President Kennedy ordered Alabama Governor George Wallace to stand aside and allow Black students to enroll at the public flagship university.

These events are not unrelated.  [/quote]
