1. Read the article and write your initial response.
I've always known what the confederate flag meant and I think that people she have a better education on this flag alone.

 2.  Do you feel that the writer is correct in his opinion?
I do I feel as if he was correct with every part of his opinion.

 3.  Why do you feel their is still an issue with the confederate flag still nearly 150 years later? 
Yes I do cause there's people that do know what it means but they will still wear it or show it proudly. which there's really nothing wrong about wearing it or showing it but when you try to be racist or think you better then any other race then it becomes an issue. with this flag for some people its a reminder to what happen and to some its an excuse to be racist.

how do we keep events like this from happening?

Well this is one of those that you don't know what to do. I mean if your a grown man or woman you should know that little kids hear things and they repeat them they don't know what it even means at that age. But if you get offend by a nine year old boy then you should be working near them or with them.

Summarize the article, and explain how this protest differed from earlier protests at the WWII Memorial.


I guess because it was over the government shutting down and they weren't happy that they got the short end of the stick. They probably fell that no matter what the ww2 memorial should all ways be open no matter whats going on in the country
