This has jumped the shark and landed in the land of absurdity.

It's one thing to display a confederate battle flag on a government building as a sign that you're opposed to the civil rights advances of the 1960s and it's an entirely different matter to use it in its historical context.

I heard on the radio that they're considering removing the flag from Gettysburg.

The one time that it's completely appropriate and inoffensive to display that flag is in the historical context of the civil war.

This has to stop.
