Jen and others should jump in here... an alternative like "symbols of the
Confederacy" is much more sweeping, but we can easily upgrade to that if
folks want. Argument for making this about the battle flag specifically is
that it hits Mississippi, where the Speaker of the House just raised this
issue as well (
http://www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2015/06/22/petition-mississippi-confederate-flag/29113157/)
and a number of other places, but doesn't get us into debating the extra
star on the Arkansas flag or every single Robert E. Lee statue across the
south.
