Ole Miss removes state flag

JACKSON, Miss. — The University of Mississippi has removed the state flag on its Oxford campus Monday morning because the banner contains the Confederate battle emblem, which some see as a painful reminder of slavery and segregation.
Interim Chancellor Morris Stocks ordered the flag lowered and said it was being sent to the university's archives.
The action came days after the student senate, the faculty senate and other groups adopted a student-led resolution calling for removal of the banner from campus.
"As Mississippi's flagship university, we have a deep love and respect for our state," Stocks said in a statement Monday. "Because the flag remains Mississippi's official banner, this was a hard decision. I understand the flag represents tradition and honor to some. But to others, the flag means that some members of the Ole Miss family are not welcomed or valued."

Wow Missy,
I've lost what little respect I ever had for you.

The Confederate flag wasn't even the most offensive thing about Ole Miss.
"Ole" implies ageism and "Miss" is not gender-neutral. That entire university is a giant trigger and it's disgusting!

After every emblem of southern culture is eradicated, they are coming after college football. Mark my words.

While I don't agree with the result, this is democracy in action, no? The majority seems to have spoken, and that message is that they do not want the flag on campus any longer.

flag represents a piece of history, not slavery or racism.
