The article was quite eye opening for someone who may not be extremely into politics.  The confederate flag seems to somehow have different meanings to different people, which I never really understood.  To get upset because the flag was being hung in college campuses, makes sense to me.  I would get upset as well.  For students to be afraid for their welfare and or they education at their college because of President elect Trump, also makes sense to me.  The whole campaign seems to be one big controversy.
