In 1961, the South Carolina State Government passed a law mandating that the confederate flag be flown on the ground of its state capitol building. The law was passed to commemorate the centennial of the Civil War assault on Fort Sumter. Opponents argue that the flag is a political symbol that represents racial inequality and should be removed after the shooting deaths of nine African American church members in June 2015. Proponents argue that the flag is an important historical symbol that commemorates the state’s role in the Civil War.

If you wanna put that flag up go ahead, but your intentions are what matter the most. People can say it's rebellion, but racism runs deeper than what your words say.
@99FPR5Z2yrs2Y
No, only the American flag should be allowed
@947J5NF3yrs3Y
No opinion, not enough information
@8ZNX67P3yrs3Y
I dont feel this is a big issue.
@8YL24V43yrs3Y
You can but I won't respect you
@8WYGSLM4yrs4Y
No, it glorifies traitors to the union
No, it is a symbol of racism, separatism, and treason and any public display of the flag should be banned
@8WH9DQ54yrs4Y
Yes, refusing the right to fly any flag would be unconstitutional
@8VHFRXQ4yrs4Y
im done. im not going to answer any of these correctly.
@8P3723Z5yrs5Y
It can flow anywhere except federal property
@8KYBVB75yrs5Y
No, but it can be placed in certain historical areas and the symbolism and historical context of the flag should be acknowledged
@9CZGNGR2yrs2Y
Yes but only after a vote from the state legislature.
@9CKP6R52yrs2Y
No, it is a symbol of treason, cessation, and proto-communism.
@9CJLS5X2yrs2Y
No, it belongs in a museum as it’s a symbol of traitors of the Union, there’s still much to learn from it though so keep it in a museum along with the statues around the south that were made in many instances decades after the civil war. History books and museums, that’s where those belong.
@9BZBMQRRepublican2yrs2Y
As it is government property I would say no unless it was allowed, that is up to the government. But if you want to display it on your own property you can. It would be considered freedom of speech and that is more than fine with me.
@9BHSZXH2yrs2Y
There should be no government interference, people should have the freedom to do what they want, I think this is protected under the freedom of speech right.
@98NTQNC2yrs2Y
i dont really have a stance
