I think all governmental entities should fly the duly adopted state flag. If the flag should be changed is a different story.
I would rather them fly the ole miss flag than the Mississippi State flag.
amen!If a majority of the people of this state vote to change it then change it. If they don't leave it the way it is. This country and this state is ruled by the majority. Simply put, that's a democratic society. If we bow down and change something, anything for the sake of appeasing a small group then when does it stop? What do we give up next to please this group or that group?

So, you guys aren't for democracy?
2001 the state voted. At the time MS was 40% american african. 65% of the voters said keep the flag.
If the flag is the biggest problem we have in the state, we are in pretty good shape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amen to thatWrong answer.
Leadership requires courage, courage to stand up AND do the right thing, not swaying in the wind of public opinion. That is what is wrong with this country, no real leadership.
The chicken shit leadership of this state threw the issue to a vote because they knew it would fall along racial lines, just as it did.
You pro flag guys might have a leg to stand if during all this time that the KKK and other hate groups used the rebel flag as their own, had uttered one word to protest it.
And if it's a heritage not hate thing there is a simple solution, put one star in the center of the upper left corner with a circle of stars around it, one for each state of the CSA. There is your heritage.
I literally do not care. And I do not think a flag change will make one single bit of difference concerning race or change in community relations. IMO
But until it's changed, I see no reason not to fly it at a state institution of higher learning.
Anyone looked at the Alabama state flag lately?....just sayin'
All states have state flowers but must don't make it the state flag. Changing the flag is okay but let's not do the chic-a-fy it with a flower! But I live n Alabama so if guys really want a girly flag go for it.I agree above that the state flag should be flown, but change should be strongly pushed for. If you want to talk about "heritage", I can guarantee the heritage of Mississippi would be just as strong with a magnolia flag, or whatever. Some things may be worth fighting over, but changing how the flag looks does not destroy Mississippi tradition or disrespect people who have built it. All in my humble opinion, of course.
Come on OG you are pretending that we vote on everything. We don't. Abortion is one of thousands of examples.
If a school gets money from the state, they should fly the flag. I voted to keep it cause I didn't like what they wanted to take its place a bunch of stars. A magnolia blossom or a mocking bird I can go with. SMTTTIf it bothers you there are 49 other states to choose from
That flag had nothing, ZERO, to do with "recent events". We have let people re-write history so much in the name "political correctness" that we do not the TRUTH.
