[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

T[b]he Confederate flag has a place at the Confederate war memorial - it's a piece of history. [/b]

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]

This may be true, but I would then argue that the Confederate war memorial does not belong on the living, active State House Grounds in 2015.

I think that's ridiculous. [/quote]

Would a Nazi War Memorial belong on the grounds of the Bundestag?[/quote]
Show me the 6 million blacks killed.  [/quote]

So that's your criteria? A set number of people have to be killed by an institution, to make it evil? Columbia, SC native here again. The only way that state is ever going to move forward is for folks like you to recognize that the WAR IS OVER and was, 150 years ago. It has zero to do with ANYTHING going on in the state at this time. The State House is a vibrant (by Columbia standards, anyway) area in the heart of downtown, with living, breathing people going there every day to influence and debate issues that are truly relevant to 2015. To have this stupid memorial front and center there is absurd.[/quote]
