In the wake of the racially motivated shootings in Charleston, SC many demands have risen to remove the Confederate flag from the state building in Charleston and other places. Activists have continued their demands to remove statues of Confederate Civil War figures, rename military bases, bridges, roads and even schools bearing their names. Should nearly 200 schools connected to the Confederate flag controversy be forced to change names or simply educate the students?

The Confederate flag has long been viewed by many as a symbol of white supremacy, slavery, and racism.

Most of them have been dumbed down so badly, they are too stupid to realize it is a subversive, communist agenda. Re-educating the masses. Legitimizing homosexuality. The list goes on. My fear is that many will be slaughtered in the coming dissent. Good, taxpaying, law abiding citizens are now being called subversive. Go ahead. Keep it up. The majority will soon be silent no more.
