Removing the confederate flag is the right thing. No one should be under it.  The flag should rightfully  be placed in a box and buried.  If it must be displayed, then place it in some historical context, under glass in some museum.

But to keep it flying in any official capacity gives false hope to the wicked.

The past was ugly, and over.

It does not live on.
