The Signal asks ... If it were possible, should the Confederate flag be banned in the US?

Heads up! This article was imported from a previous version of The Signal. If you notice any issues, please let us know.

“There needs to be a very clear discussion about the implications of (the flag). Since I’m not from the south, it’s not up for me to decide. People can use it for whatever they want, but not like the white supremacy (we saw) over the summer. We need to meet each other halfway, like not have it in public areas or in front of government buildings.”

“You can’t be showing the Confederate flag on state grounds. Those should be kept in museums. We can’t forget history. We have to remember it so we don’t repeat it.”

“Just having one is not a problem unless problems arise from it. I was in Maine and I saw some of them. I wasn’t used to (that).”

“I don’t think it should be banned, but it’s disrespectful to our country now. The flag has no meaning anymore.”
