National Cathedral Taking Confederate Flag Out Of Stained Glass Windows

[merrily]

1. Installed in the NATIONAL Cathedral in 1953, during the civil era?

Not removed from the NATIONAL Cathedral until after South Carolina, home of Fort Sumpter, thinks about doing away with confederate flags and reverence for the antebellum South?



I do love this though: "We take down offending symbols all the time but never do anything about the culture that gave birth to them" ...

I do think taking down offending symbols does impact the culture that gave birth to them, though

If the Confederate flag, a symbol of extending slavery to the territories, has a place of honor in your state or church or whatever, please do not expect all citizens to hate slavery and racism. At best, it's one hell of a mixed message. At worst, its inciting all kinds of shet no one and no government should incite.

Anyway, we need all of it. Get rid of the bad stuff, institute good stuff and punish people who do bad things. At a minimum, do not glorify or excuse bad stuff or people who do bad things.
