One is unconstitutional to ban, while the other is treason.

That's what we get for giving the Confederates Military burials instead of an unmarked mass graves for their murderous treachery in the name of slavery.

Mercy was a mistake.

Tennessee: We're not all bigots, but you shouldn't feel safe.

Let's proudly expose our slavery heritage while banning a symbol of individual freedom and diversity.

1st amendment lawsuit, here we come!

Nashville has had a pride festival for the past thirty five years. They were a member of the confederacy for almost exactly five years.

BuT iTs our hiSTorY!!!

The only Confederate flag that represents the Confederacy is 🏳️

Anything else trying to represent the confederacy is akin to a fucking high school class ring. Like "Gratz, bud. Got anything to show for it?"

This ban is stupid and fuck those politicians, but this article is a little misleading and not a good source of information

They never explicitly voted to keep confederate flags. That being said, one of the many types of flags that are allowed are those deemed “protected historical items” as defined by TN Code § 4-1-412 which does include items relating to “any war, battle, or military conflict in which citizens of the United States or any state or territory of the United States have participated in”.

Funny enough, this law would allow you to carry an Iranian, Soviet, or other flag that would piss people off.

I would recommend this article if you want to learn more.

Wow Tennessee, what a shit hole it’s turning into.

Tennessee GOP quietly overturns marriage equality with immediate effect

Your "heritage" lasted three years less than the Obama Administration.

I went to grade school in Mississippi, (Air Force brat, 1970's) and here are some fun facts:

• The day started with the class reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and then singing "Dixie."
• Every classroom had a paddle hanging near the blackboard. The principle and many of the teachers also had a paddle handing off of their belt.
• The "That's a Paddlin' " bit on the Simpsons was a 100% accurate representation of my first day in school
• The Mississippi schools were about 6 months ahead of the Utah schools I came from and they made me do a lot of the homework assigned before I got there.

Ban the confederate flag and prosecute anyone who flies it as an enemy of the state. We keep patting these traitors on the butt then shocked Pikachu-ing when they double down instead of magically seeing the error of their ways. I'm fucking over it and over watching dems use them as an excuse to scurry further right for "moderates" that have never and will never vote dem to please their corporate owners.

So they are wilfully signalling that they're traitorous scum.

Why does there need to be any flags in the classrooms to begin with? Even putting up the flag of the country seems a little odd to me. Use a flagpole.

Losers love losing. Deniers love denying. Traitors love treason. The GOP loves Trump's shit-crusted cock, but denies being his bottom.

It's a heritage of hate.

Y'all... what the fuck is happening

Confederate fascism emerges in the south

Because of course they did, gotta live up to that deplorable label

Stay classy, America's South...
