Confederate Flag Misunderstood?

In a related story: there is now a push here in Kentucky to remove a statue of native Son Jefferson Davis from the State capital:

 
Should we be required to shut down the State Park named after Jefferson Davis?

 
Should we be forced to destroy the Jefferson Davis Monument?

The 5th tallest Monument in the US and the tallest unreinforced concrete structure in the World.

Where do we draw the line when we start regulating what states can or cannot display?

Personally I've always wondered why we have so much Jefferson Davis stuff in Kentucky. He was a figurehead for a failed attempt at cessation. We've got to be one of the few places in the world that celebrates it to that extent.

We've got Muhammad Ali, Casey Jones, Alben Barkley, Hunter Thompson, Diane Sawyer, Irvin Cobb, Robert Penn Warren, Lincoln, Garrett Morris. We could spread it out a little, celebrate something other than failure.
