Booth selling Confederate and Trump flags at MS Coast elementary school sparks uproar

[TexasTowelie]

BILOXI -- A booth displaying and selling Confederate flags and Donald Trump flags at a Woolmarket Elementary School event caused controversy and uproar among some within the community.

On April 2, the school’s PTO hosted a fair with various vendors, one of whom is known as the “Flag Lady.” She had various flags for sale at her booth, including flags that support Donald Trump, the old Mississippi state flag and rebel flags.

A picture of the booth was posted by Alexis Weathersby, a local mother of two. The post, which she posted to Facebook on April 7, has garnered over 300 comments and 200 shares. “

(Confederate flags) don’t belong in our schools,” Weathersby, who has a child at the school, told the Sun Herald. “It is a symbol of hatred and pain and slavery and trauma … if this was a Nazi flag, it would be a no brainier.”

2. Is there a content-neutral rule on what may be displayed or sold at the fair?

The elementary school is a state institution.

Can it regulate what is sold at the market on the basis of the speech content thereof?

5. You rarely

Find venders without the pair, Trump and that god damned flag. Many times the swastika is there ass well. They represent each other to a “T”. Days all you need to know where they stand on racism. So, you go Uncle Hershel Walker.

11. They will pass legislation providing serious penalty for those who object to these displays,

given the chance. Because by then, you see, those who may have just come to understand the error of this path will have already forfeited their, and our, voices. That's what "too late" is all about. This is what they mean when they say, "fuck your feelings". They WILL happily encamp any and all who aren't aligned with their view of propriety, decorum, ethnicity and religiosity. They'll do that simply because there will have never been an actual check on their extremism from any quarter which would wield and unleash the power behind its constitutional and traditional authority. Still, they'll continue proselytizing the gross charade, whining about how they'd had to fight desperately against a super-secret evil power bent on destroying our nation.

Rainbow flags, Peace symbol flags or Be Kind flags?

12. The Trump flags and red MAGA hats in front of the Smithsonian

That was during TFG’s reign. That, and having to see the huge T…. sign on the hotel when you exit the metro. So gross.
