Tom Toles for June 24, 2015

Indelible skid marks.

Probably, but at least it won’t be the state or local government that officially supports it anymore.

Interestinly, before the civil rights movement, the Confederate battle flag was rarely seen in public. Once the fight for civil rights became a reality, the flag came into frequent usage to protest equal rights.

^^ Yeah flown by the Democrats fighting AGAINST Civil Rights Acts.

Yes.

If they want to continue their “Heritage” they could fly the Confederate Flag NOT the Confederate BATTLE Flag; there’s a difference. And the backlash is stupid…they announced they were no longer making the General Lee model kits because of it.

Segregation forever!Everyone separates the coloreds from the whites doing laundry. Wouldn’t want those Klan outfits turning pink.

Good cartoon, Toles.Now lets think about guns again.

Would that it were as simple as the cartoon; I’m not at all sure some idiots in the legislature don’t dig in their heels.

I see a few daring politicians are about to join the 20th century………..

Slightly Inaccurate.There is no Rope to raise & Lower that flag.It is fastened in such a way that you need a very Tall Ladder or a Cherry Picker to get to the Padlocked Chain fastening it to the Top of the flagpole..
