→Leftist attempts at censure and distortion: Add.
In June 2015, a white supremacist with mental problems went into a black church and massacred several people inside. Although removing or banning the flag, like [[gun control]], would solve nothing and only be a short-term emotionalist solution, many people, particularly leftists, called for the flag's removal. That call, like gun control, was a knee-jerk reaction to ban something they dislike, using a terrible event to do so without carefully examining the full picture. They acted [[Hypocrites|hypocritically]] and tried to cast the blame on conservatives while blatantly distorting the true purpose of the flag.<ref>Hemingway, Mollie (June 23, 2015).

Liberals frequently display [[Liberal intolerance|intolerance]] towards the Confederate flag. In one instance in an [[Illinois]] public school, a student was suspended for wearing a Confederate flag, even though the same school had a large homosexual rainbow flag hanging in a classroom.<ref>Prokop, Hannah (November 11, 2016).
