If the issue was real, then flying the Confederate Flag should have as much animosity as the battle flag. If those kids would have flown the CSA flag, NO ONE would have known where it was from and they would be graduating. The battle flag is just another symbol of the battle between federalism and statism (sp?). Lee did not want to fight against his beloved Virginia, and no one knows the difference today. Historically we are blind.

Amen, amen.
Fought for Virginia, btw, notwithstanding that he though secession a bad idea, and notwithstanding that Abraham Lincoln had summoned him from Texas to offer him overall command of the United States Army.
