What the hell business is it of the feds what Texans put on their license plates?
Guess they have a lot of free time on their hands and no sense on what’s important.
You can put little stick-on flags on or near your plate. The Civil War (or the war of Secession) was about states rights not slavery - Lincoln made it into that.
***Texas offers more than 350 specialty plates,***
Do they have a COME AND TAKE IT! plate?
Some messages are more equal than others, apparently.
Never even thought of the Confederate flag and slavery in the same breath....And then all this PC cr** started.
Another day. Another piece of nit wittery.
How deep is the rabbit hole?
That's my disclaimer. I'm getting so almighty tired of pusillanimous girly-men trying to erase the Confederate States of America from US history that I'm almost ready to get a Confederate Battle Flag and flying it in front of my home.
The Confederacy generated a litany of GREAT, GREAT role models if these gonadless, illiterate liberals would take five minutes and just read the history...just once...before trying to tear it all apart.
Sorry for the rant. These semi-virs want to tear it apart...that, and they can't read.
What is there to “take on”?
They either respect the right to free speech or they allow the government to infringe on it.
I did not sue anyone when the city of Washington, DC started putting “Taxation Without Representation” on THEIR license plates without reading the Constitution to learn the correct, legal status of that particular District.
Stupid.
License Plates should just be that, a Plate Number & Name of State and maybe the state’s motto and that’s it.
There should be no specialized plates, especially political ones.
If Conservatives get to put a Choose Life, God is Great or Confederate flag on their plates, then the Liberals are also going to get their Pro-Choice, God is imaginary and Gay Rainbow Flag plates
If you want to make a political statement buy a bumper sticker, the government, state or otherwise shouldn’t be involved in nonsense like this
Texans are NOT pledging allegiance to the Confederate flag. I wish people would mind their own business and leave me alone to mind mine. If you or anyone else finds the Confederate flag, which is a part of our history, offensive, then learn to accept it. We’re not going to change our history or remove it from “Six Flags over Texas” because it offends you.
If somebody wanted to fly the Nazi flag or some other flag that was not part of our history, I and others might find that offensive if displayed in the wrong context.
If you bruise easily or are easily offended, don’t come to Texas.

the Confederate Flag - Correlates with States Right not anything else. What’s next the georgia Secession Flag is a big red star on a white background. So does this have to go to. like the Ole Miss has the rebel with white hair does that have to go too,
In the north the Badgers, the Wolverines, the Gophers, the hawkeyes buckeyes and Cornhuskers are college sports names. So do these names signify someting wrong - badgers gophers and wolverines are based on moning in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan, hawkeyes is mythical for Iowa (what do you want to known as the pig state - becareful pig stye) Ohio because of a tree with chestnuts - buckeyes and cornhuskers because Nebraska is the corn and grain state.
So will the Yankees have to give up their name as it is derogatory to many from the south. If you are north of the Mason- Dixon Line you are a Damn Yankee, all other states of the Union were Yankees. Political Correctness needs to stop
Given this ruling one might think that SCOTUS will allow these plates with the understanding that nobody is being *forced* to display them,as was the case with the New Hampshire Commie.
But a Saudi or Iranian flag on a license plate would be OK?
Neither nation has much love for America.
I’m in rebellion against our enemy islamist president, and how he got there.
