Confederate flag on Texas license plate

The article, "Despite court ruling, Confederate flag does not belong on Texas license plate" is very interesting!

Author is against the allowance of the confederate flag on license plates.


Intended audience are faithful Americans who consider the display of the confederate flag on a DMV Registered State license plate inappropriate in terms of racial equality.

The state DMV should ban the allowance of the confederate flag on state-issued license plates. Those who vote for the allowance of the confederate flag considers it unjust if it is banned because the state DMV allows other wars such as the Buffalo War, Korean War, the Vietnam War, etc in acknowledgement of their honor. Those for the confederate plates thus considers it an honor for the civil war and the "honor the Confederate heritage". However the author argues that the confederate flag symbolizes the remembrance of the nation's past internal conflicts. It sends a message of discrimination "especially African Americans, as it is a reminder of slavery" which is unjustly for the nation. I agree with the authors argument in terms of being faithful for equality against the ideals of discrimination. The allowance of a confederate flag on the plates present a different sense of pride compared to the pride for fighting for the nation such as the Korean War. The confederate flag is a remembrance for the nation's internal conflict which caused the Civil War. If the state allows the DMV to accept discriminating plates, then it will be acknowledged that the state is corrupt for supporting discrimination.
