As part of the wave of tearing down symbols of historic racism., Mississippi State Governor Tate Reeves, a Republican, signed legislation last month ordering the “prompt, dignified, and respectful” removal of the state flag bearing the rebel symbol from all state property.
Mississippi was the only state whose flag contained the Confederate battle flag, adopting it in 1894, nearly three decades after the Civil War. 64% of voters reaffirmed the flag in a 2001 referendum. In the wake of the race riots sweeping across the country, Reeves decided to introduce the new legislation calling to redesign the flag. “I know there are people of goodwill who are not happy to see this flag change,” Reeves said. “They fear a chain reaction of events erasing our history — a history that is no doubt complicated and imperfect. I understand those concerns and am determined to protect Mississippi from that dangerous outcome.”
Both chambers of the state legislature voted overwhelmingly for the legislation. Reeves, Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann, and House Speaker Philip Gunn selected a nine-member commission to decide on a new design for the flag, which must contain the words “In God We Trust.” Voters will approve or reject the design by referendum in November. If approved, the new flag will be ratified and flown next year. If not, the commission will meet again and decide on a new design.

"Splitters!!!"
Like the good old days when they surrendered.
I suppose the Satanists have a case of sorts, but is this really a good look for the Democrats? /smirk
The governor will probably, very comfortably, settle on a plain white flag to match his courage.
Make the flag “In God We Trust.... That He Hates Satanists!”
