Virginia Statues, Tucson Parade, and a High School Basketball Game

March 5, 2020

**  Bills that would allow localities to move Confederate monuments takes steps  forward in House, Senate.  (Virginia--  The bill passed both houses already, but with each adding provisions.  Right now they are trying to get the revisions aligned.  I was wondering why the governor hadn't signed it already and every monument removed already.)

**  Tucson Rodeo Parade to ban Confederate 'battle flag'; won't change color guard.  (The mayor and a new council woman objected.  The battle flag is banned, but not the First National Flag which will still be in the color guard of the parade.  Not too bad of a deal for the SCV which can just use the First National or Bonnie Blue Flag.)

**  Confederate veterans are part of Arizona's history.

**  Confederate flag displayed, racial taunts to students at Armstrong basketball game.  (Richmond, Va.--  Armstrong is a primarily black school.  They were playing Central High School in Woodstock, which is primarily a white school.  There is no excuse for what the students at Central did.)
