I don't believe the confederate flag should be flown from any government buildings or offices. For me, it has little to do with racism than it does with the fact that the confederate flag represents an attempt at armed secession from the United States. While this plays an important role in our history on so many different levels, it is not something we should be celebrating. It is definitely something our government offices should not be saying.

At the same time we do not have to remove every instance of the confederate flag. The Dukes Of Hazard does not represent slavery in any way.

If people want to fly the flag of an organization that existed for four years and was an utter failure, that's fine. Just not from public buildings.
