I am a significant tax payer in California and don't think it's appropriate for a student to raise a flag of his/her homeland upon graduation from a State University in California. YMMV.

I would surmise that she and her parents were taxpayers too.

Well considering that we stole California from Mexico via a war of imperial aggression...........

Would you invite a white supremacist (not a relative) to your house?
I wouldn't.

I wouldn't invite them if they were a relative. In fact, I have a relative that's been losing his mind over that flag. (And HE was BORN, RAISED AND LIVED HIS ENTIRE LIFE IN OHIO!) If he ever shuts up about it, I might visit him the next time I'm up there...............

I used to see that flag all the time in Ohio in the 70s.


My point is its hard for me to be nice to a guy who likes that flag. So I do not fill sorry for Hillbillie.

Heritage is just a code word for slavery in the context of that flag.

My limited exposure to the law of other countries, including Britain, reveals that very few if any other countries value freedom of expression as highly as we do under US law. I would not want to be associated with that symbol (the confederate flag) in any way. It represents much that is hateful. But even hateful speech is protected expression. The cliche is that if the First Amendment only protected popular speech, its free speech provisions would have no meaning at all. Popular speech needs no protection.

Jailing people in my first post is pretty tongue in cheek.

Wave your confederate flag, or Your Nazi swastika. Same shit.

Doesn't mean you don't deserve a good kicking.
