#1 Hammers & Sickles are a-O.K., though.

Free speech/expression going right down the toilet.

#4 The Confederates weren't traitors. They didn't advocate the overthrow of the Federal Government. That's why they weren't prosecuted.

This is why the Dems and their SJW shock troops are trying to define speech as "violence." I.e. the Confederate flag, "MAGA," microaggressions etc are not "hate speech" but actual aggression : fighting words, unprotected by the 1A.

Utter bullshit but they might get away with it before friendly left wing judges

#6 It's OK, cause they're going to ban the American flag as well because it upsets 'some people'. (I'd put a sarc on that but its too close to call these days)

#7 Nike buckled and withdrew those shoes with the "Betsy Ross" flag.

And the irony that this lunatic move is from the Oregon Department of "Education".

Disgusting.

#8 from wikipedia : "The Oregon black exclusion laws were attempts to prevent black people from settling within the borders of the settlement and eventual U.S. state of Oregon. The first such law took effect in 1844, when the Provisional Government of Oregon voted to exclude black settlers from Oregon's borders. The law authorized a punishment for any black settler remaining in the territory to be whipped with "not less than twenty nor more than thirty-nine stripes" for every six months they remained.[1] Additional laws aimed at African Americans entering Oregon were ratified in 1849 and 1857."
