It's all a matter of how selective the "offended" want to be.
Does a walk around LSU's campus offend you? Kirby Smith Hall? Beauregard Hall? Both Confederate soldiers.
What about our beloved LSU Tigers, named after several Confederate regiments from Louisiana.
If you're offended by one, its difficult not to be offended by the rest.

I've wondered this as well, but those images or symbols weren't rehashed to represent hate. Right or Wrong that flag has a certain connotation.
If the flags original meaning was one of heritage and not hate, why then did the vast majority of southerners sit by a let their precious symbol of heritage and pride get hijacked into something that represents hate?

Actually, the senior Louisiana unit that has the Bengal Tiger in it's heraldry goes back to 1838...the 141st Field Artillery, which is still on the Army rolls...
