WASHINGTON — The Confederate battle flag has been displayed at the Charles County Fair for years. But this year, for the first time, it will not be.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans typically displays the flag at the fair, and gives away small versions of it in exchange for donations.
But in recent years, the fair has received complaints about that.
‘We found that the flag and the symbol itself — some people felt this was a flag of hate,” J.T. Hindle, president of the fair’s board of directors, told WTOP.

And some people are scared when they see clowns.
I'll bet there will be some on display.
Won't be going to that fair.
Speaking of clowns - Stephen King's new reboot of the movie "IT" is about to hit the theaters in weeks!
Can anyone outdo Tim Curry's Pennywise?
And I find the rainbow flag to be a sign of sinful perversion which offends me so let's get rid of that one too.
Sorros is responsible for financing these protest.....let us find Sorros....
