It's more of an issue of the state's who put that into their state flags to protest the civil rights act.   That is something to have an honest discussion about....    But a flag at a civil war memorial isn't....   Even with the memorial being at the capital.

That flag was placed at the top of the capital dome as a show of defiance for desegregation in 1962.  It was finally removed in 2000 as a compromise and was placed near the entrance along with a memorial.  If they want ot honor the states involvement with the confederacy why not use the stars and bars or even the states flag, which was the states confederate battle flag during the war.  I bet I know why.
