Yeah, the banning of Confederate flag merchandise is just another example of caving in to political correctness. I think it's better to acknowledge history, the good with the bad, than to ban it, and thus erase the lessons learned by preserving it.
But this mis-states what has happened. Its not banned at all. If you want to wear it on your t-shirt or as a bumper sticker, you go for it.
What is happening is that a flag perceived by many (but I concede not all) people as a racist and indeed, thank you Mr JLA, a treasonous emblem is being removed from official buildings.
Plus, some large retailers are no longer stocking goods featuring the flag.
Hardly a ban. (Germany and France have actual bans on the sale of Nazi paraphernalia.)
