Costume and party supplies store Party City ordered one of its franchises to pull a kids’ Confederate soldier costume from its shelves after facing backlash about the outfit being racist.
Caroline Brasler, who is the adoptive mother to two young black daughters, said she came across the Civil War costumes emblazoned with the Confederate flag while shopping Sunday at the location in Crossroads, Virginia, news station WUSA reported.
“The Confederate flag to me is a symbol of racism. To have that out there for a child to wear on Halloween sends so many horrible messages,” she told the outlet.
One of the costumes was labeled “Confederate Officer” and came with a Confederate flag on the hat, while the other was supposed to be Confederate General Robert E. Lee, the outlet reported.
Brasler said that after seeing the costumes there, she decided to take her daughters elsewhere to buy their Halloween gear.

My gosh, I’m glad they got that despicable outfit off the floor. How many “keds” would have been frightened or worse, the hell scared outta ‘em. Thank goodness it was caught before thousands would have been offended. We should be thankful to have such caring citizens (dummies).
The communist s will never erase our history
well isn't Caroline Brasler special.
Well, the civil war never happened anyway. Nod your heads in submission.
Skull and Bones (Death’s Head) is OK
Confederate Soldier - not so much
