Do people actually know the story and significance behind the confederate flag, or are they just hopping on the bandwagon? Did this ‘trend’ start like the rest? One country boy sees another with a south-ified version of the American flag waving in the wind on the back of his pick-up?
If you legitimately know the history behind it and fly the flag, then hooray for you. If you don’t, then what on earth are you doing? Some of us would like to know the attraction behind it. Why is it so appealing to you, oh, brethren who dost not know thy history?

Is this “confederate flag movement” the country boy fad equivalent to the rich girl standard of everyone wearing Jack Rogers on their feet with a Michael Kors hanging off of their shoulders? Was this flag-exhibiting behavior already existent and we never knew it until now?

Try driving around these days. It’s hard to go on a peaceful ride without seeing someone’s six-inch lifted, exhaust blowing, Ford F150 or a busted up Jeep flying some variation of the symbols of their southern faith.

The real question becomes: how many of these people know their history and the history behind the flag, and how many are just following the others like ducklings?

How about we design quizzes in order to figure out who knows their history and who qualifies to fly the confederate flag? A less than ten questions quiz- short answer, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks- we could cover the whole spectrum. Those who pass the test with a 90 or more will be allowed to fly those colorful stretches of fabric.

Maybe then we would be able to stop the spread of this flagtastrophe.
