When people argue that the fight over the flag creates healthy dialogue, I think back to when I was given that opportunity. My boys were 5 and 7 when we went to dinner at Buddy Freddy's, on a day when a Confederate organization was meeting in the restaurant's banquet room. Ethan saw the flag in the other room and exclaimed, "Look at that cool flag."

For the rest of the dinner, I had to explain why the flag wasn't cool. Young minds, more accustomed to learning about phonics, soaked in lessons about slavery, freedom and a time when Americans killed Americans.

As he filled them with more revisionist history no doubt

No, the Confederate flag should not be banned in schools. I would never deny a person's right to freedom of speech. But for those who feel compelled to wear it to school, I ask only one thing: Think about what you're doing.

They do. They wear it with pride, pride of their ancestors, who refused to bow down a lick the hand of their oppressors. They have pride in those men and women, white, black, yellow and red, that thought enough of self-government and freedom that they sacrificed everyhing, simply for the right to be left alone, to worship their God, and to keep the hands of the government out of their pockets.
