I think he also hired a guy named Winston delete all references of the word confederate in any books owned by the state.
Eventually they’ll ban the US Flag as well, offensive to Mexicans, don’cha know.
No I am not joking.
It's in our state constitution that the words "Heart Of Dixie" will be on our (Alabama) state license plates. You need a microscope to see it now, they've shrunk it so much. Blacks say it's a racist word.
Let's erase history shall we?
What about banning the flags of La Raza?
They are an ACTIVE secessionist (overthrow) movement!
1st Amendment?
What 1st Amendment?
You people must think there is some kind of “Bill of Rights” or something.
Plebeians!
See the little heart, "Heart Of Dixie" is written inside there. There's not enough votes to change the constitution.
some schools in that area don’t fly it’b/c it’d offend illegals, apparently.
We have always been at war with Eastasia.
Obummer's latest Executive Order declared the Bill of Rights "outdated", and the First Amendment was replaced by wording permitting the adoration phrase "Mmmmm-mmmm-mmmm Barack Hussein Obama" at all times, as long as it didn't interfere with the prompt payment of federal taxes.
Nah, that takes work.
It's easier to simply deny it ever existed in the first place.

That geographic septic tank can kiss my born-and-raised, south-of-the-Mason-Dixon-line azz. The single-most net positive effect that floor of a horse stall could gift this nation with would be if it snapped off at the state line and floated away towards North Korea.
I always knew I could count on jerry “moonbeam” brown to suppress freedom of speech.
Quite frankly, I am surprised to learn that any California government agency was selling anything with the Confederate flag on it. I would have thought that would have been banned long ago...
If only there were places to buy flags which aren’t owned by the state of California. You know, like, private businesses.
Oh, right. You can still buy Confederate flags from private businesses.
There are a lot of things to be upset about. Regardless of what the media prints, this isn’t one of those things.
How bout we ban the friggin mexican flag
There actually is some Confederate history there. Southern California almost seceded, Federal troops were sent to suppress the effort. Bet no one’s ever read that in a California public school history book, lol.
