It’s Florida, so what do you expect. If there were ever going to be a vote in favor of flying the confederate flag, Florida would be the place to hold such a vote! And today, after all the fuss about the racism surrounding the flag, Florida has decided to put their flag back up on full display!
Officials in Florida’s Marion County have decided to buck the national — not counting Mississippi — trend of removing the Confederate battle flag from government buildings by restoring the one they took down after the June shootings in Charleston, South Carolina.
At the Marion County Commission meeting Tuesday morning, “several” members of general public argued that the flag ought to be restored, and the commission voted to do exactly that.
Members of the commission assured the Ocala Star Banner’s Kristine Cane, however, that the flag would be accompanied by an informative display that would outline its historical significance.
