[quote=Anonymous]I hate that flag.  I'm from Mississippi and it's still part of our state flag. It flies over schools, federal buildings, state offices...... I worked to have it changed the last time it was on the ballot.  We failed, but will keep trying.

I will say that people in Mississippi (and all over the deep south) do not associate it with slavery, oppression, or treason.  Our black neighbor had it on his car!  In their minds, it's a symbol of the south.  Thankfully,  things are changing.

Mississippi State is no longer flying the state flag on campus.
Ole Miss banned the Confederate flag at football games and officially changed the school flag.
The Ole Miss band no longer plays "Dixie"  at football games.
Many businesses won't fly the flag.

....slowly even Mississippi is beginning to understand that the flag causes hurt and divisiveness regardless of what it means to individuals.   Kinda off point, OP.  But I think you should report it to HR and let them deal with it.  Chances are this guy is looking for a fight.[/quote]
