Republicans, Florida, National Guard, Baltimore and St. Louis

MARCH 15, 2023

**  Florida GOP proposal would ban Pride flag -- but let Confederate flag fly at state buildings.

*******************************

MARCH 17, 2023

**  These Southern National Guard units to toss  Confederate  battle streamers.

**  Two  Baltimore Confederate statues vandalized, no suspects identified.  (Maryland.  And I thought they had removed all Confederate statues.  Hey, THIS is NOT vandalism.  It is a Hate Crime!!)

**  St. Louis school no longer named after Confederate soldier.  (Missouri.  Kennard Classical Junior Academy named after Lt. Samuel Kennard to be renamed Betty Wheeler Classical Junior Academy.  Betty Wheeler is a very deserving person, but also a black woman.)

Confederates Were American Soldiers As Well. New York Times Doesn't Surprise. How to Take Care of a Flag Controversy

JULY 3, 2022

**  Sons of Confederate Veterans to participate in parade.  (Belton, Texas.  As it ought to be.  Their ancestors were American soldiers too.)

*************************

JULY 4, 2022

**  Army bases that honor  Confederate traitors could soon be renamed  for these heroes.  (New York Times of course.  They were traitors just like our Founding Fathers.)

*************************

July 5, 2022

**  No controversies  in this year's Redman Fourth of July parade.  (Oregon.  Last year there was a Confederate flag controversy.  This year, NO flags other than U.S. and U.S. military were allowed.)

The way I look at it is that if we can't fly our flag, then they shouldn't be able to fly theirs:  Pride and BLM.

Even a Stephen Foster Statue? Lee Statue, No Confederate Flags or Others, CMA

JUNE 30, 2022

**  Why the decommissioned Stephen Foster statue is going to Los Angeles.  (Pittsburgh.  Had a black man playing a banjo at his feet.  Oh, well,)

**  JSAAHC weighs in on Lee statue lawsuit.  (Jefferson School African-American Heritage Center in Charlottesville,Virginia.  They want to "modify" it.  They shouldn't have gotten it in the first place.)

**************************

JULY 1, 2022

**  Only American  flags, U.S. military symbols in Redmond 4th of July parade.  (Oregon.  That means no Confederate , pride, BLM or MAGA allowed.  That's fair enough.  If we can't have our flag, they can't have theirs.)

**  CMA  Fest bans Confederate flag imagery at  country music fest.  (I wonder of that also applies to the other groups mention in the above headline?  So CMA goes the way of NASCAR.)
