The bureaucrats in Washington are not making you personally drop the rebel flag or cease honoring your rebel ancestors. You are free to continue doing so if that's your choice. They are saying that the government itself should not be publicly honoring those who waged war against it. What is so hard to understand about that?
No
We keep fighting this same battle because of condescending attitudes from certain people!
Your definition of ‘publicly honoring’.....?
.....allowing time honored, historically old and revered statues to remain intact and in place!
So I guess we shouldn’t honor native Americans either since they too fought against the government.
The U.S Congress long ago voted to equally honor memorials and veterans of BOTH @armies.
What’s so hard to understand?

One of the things that made me proud to be American was that our government was big enough and confident enough to honor Americans who fought against it in the 1860s. This petty destruction makes us smaller and vindictive 150 years later. Plus it is doing the Dhimmos a service by hiding their part in the war.
