The town of Maryville (TN) has banned the flag. They were specifically targeting the Confederate flag, but have actually banned all flags, laser pointers, signs, and noise makers from school sporting events.

Board members say the policy is designed to create a safe and secure environment, preventing any racial threats from being made.

While the ban is wide-ranging, the focus has been about the Confederate flag.

Flags, apparently, are dangerous articles and cause racial threats and violence. Someone should tell the International Olympic Committee.
