Marine Corps Bans Usage of Confederate Flags; Seen as Being Related to Divisive Racist Beliefs

The U.S. Marine Corps today (June 6, 2020) banned the public display of the Confederate battle flag, according to the Alternet website.

"Depictions of the Confederate battle flag are unauthorized in public and work spaces aboard an installation," the Marine Corps wrote in guidance to the troops.

The ban applies to bumper stickers, clothing, and flags among other items.

"The Confederate battle flag has all too often been co-opted by violent extremist and racist groups whose divisive beliefs have no p;ace in our Corps," the Marines explained.
