Which flag should

we ban? How about Stars and Stripes?

In response to Monroe Kelly's

letter to The Citizen, it seems to me that before The Citizen can "continue

to educate people on this matter," you must first educate yourself.

You seem to suggest that our

current state flag is "always at the forefront of every racist and

hate group in this country." I don't think our state flag is popular

enough to be flown at a racist rally in, let's say, Wyoming.

I have a feeling you're talking

about the Confederate flag. If so, you are correct, the media seems to

zoom in on the Confederate flag being waved at nearly all these hate group

functions.

What you don't see much of

is the waving and flying of our "Stars and Stripes" as well.

So, based on your analysis of a reason to get rid of our state flag, we

should also get rid of "Old Glory."

In addition, the Confederate

flag was only one of about 150 battle flags flown during the Civil War.

Should we consider these flags also?
