Last month county commissioner proposed to take down the confederate flagpole that hung in front of the court house in Eastman Georgia. there was a closed door meeting held to decide. the vote was three to one in favor of keeping the flag flying. There were people who were upset by this decision and made threats that they would go to the courthouse and take the flag down and burn it. the judge decided that there needed to be a padlock put on the flagpole so no one would be able to take it down.

I think that it is morally wrong to keep this flag flying. it is racist. everyone knows what that flag stands for and i think that there should be a law against them hanging in front of any government buildings. it is ok for citizens to have them up they have every right to do it. The government, however should not be able to voice any opinion about the matter. what do you think?
