SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California state government departments will be prohibited from selling or displaying items with an image of the Confederate flag under a bill that passed the Assembly on Monday.

Precisely what I was thinking. Perhaps we should send them a gift package for their efforts. Tiddlywinks comes to mind.

Well,there was an attempt in Southern California to secede and join the Confederacy. It’s part of the history of California,although I sincerely doubt many there know this.
They shoulda.
SOUTHERN California. ;)
(OK, gotta have link!!)
And they are banning the moniker of the Democrat Party’s history to boot!
Here’s one of the first ones that pop up in a web search, seems reasonably fair and thorough:
And current state flags as well
It’s real hard work coming up with these cutting edge solutions to the big issues, like the confederate flag issue and all the drive by shootings by the KKK and radical racist conservatives...We must stop them!
This is why politicians in CA and their legislator partners are mostly wealthy and have big fat guarded mansions and new Mercedes and game show jackpot style retirement pensions...It’s hard work banning flags and symbols which offend the bed-wetting community and drooling diaper wearing deviates
No, it’s not just you. Imaginary problems are far easier to solve. Especially true when the solutions are as nonsensical as the contrived issues.

Their preferred symbol is the hammer and sickle.
Seems like a law that denies the First Amendment.
Don’t they have something better to do like forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for contraceptives for gay couples?
Why not get rid of the Stars and Bars, hell, they’re getting rid of the Stars and Stripes too.
I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!
I’m guessing that in Kali, there was probably some program to promote the movie industry, and “General Lee” trinkets, with the stars and bars, were probably provided by somebody connected to the film promotion biz, as well as in-the-pocket pols.
One Senator’s mommy gets a mildly bad feeling when she sees an image, and the state must ban them all in all of their shops. Amazing.
Good point. I’ll bet most of these ignoramuses don’t know there are multiple versions besides the St. Andrew’s Cross. So are they going to ban bagpipes next?
What picture or symbol is next to be banned?
The hammer and sickle? swastika? The Gadsden flag? The Jolly Rodger flag?
Will the government penalties, fines and jail time included reeducation camps?
Most civil war history books have pictures of the Confederate flag on the cover and lots of pictures of the flag between the covers.
Maybe we'll just have to ban history books.
Doubtful.
They’re talking about getting rid of the actual physical books in the University of Michigan libraries and going to an all electronic format. I think its a really bad idea.
