The Confederate flags artist John Sims saw when he moved from Detroit to Florida — the ones flying above yards, pasted on truck bumpers, printed on T-shirts — unsettled him.

Sims’ art exhibition will be the most controversial art display ever to appear at Gettysburg College. As soon as a friend told Hutton, the museum director, about the young artist’s work — the themes of race and social injustice and taking the Confederate flag and altering it to carry a different message — she was intrigued. Gettysburg, she said, was the perfect showcase for that debate.

The exhibit, which opens with the hanging of the Confederate flag from 13-foot gallows, opens Sept. 3 in the college’s Schmucker Art Gallery, and has already ignited a political battle.

His exhibit — “Recoloration Proclamation: The Gettysburg Redress” changes the colors of the flag to make the symbol something different. One piece is colored in green and red, the colors of the African liberation movement, another is simply recolored in black and white. Two “drag flags” are pink and purple with sparkles and fur.

1. Maybe the log cabin republicans fly that flag....

....but I am still offended by the symbol of the confederate flag and all that it's 145 year history has represented. Honestly, that flag is even more offensive than the Nazi swastika flag for the crimes, racism, hatred and continued threats against all Americans and what America really stands for. I live in Florida and I see this symbol displayed on bumper stickers, window decals, in businesses and yes even in full display on flag stands. I my opinion the confederate flag has only one place and that is in a U.S. Civil War Museum to remind Americans that freedom has a price for every generation and is oh so fragile. Sorry, but I had to turn away from the symbol you displayed and IMHO nothing can mask the evil it represents, not pink or green, not fur or fuzzy things.
