You're joking, right? I think you have things pretty topsy-turvy. Any man of principle would denounce the flying of the Confederate flag over any state in the Union. That flag stands for the repression and enslavement of Afican-Americans, and intolerance of anyone not a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

That flag is drenched in divisiveness, and anyone who would not wholeheartedly say it sickens them to see it fly over a state capital is making a moral error; especially as it proudly flies over a state that is 30% African-American. Divisive? GWB sitting happily on the podium of Bob Jones University is the equivalent in the minds of non-WASP Americans to seeing him on the dais of a Ku Klux Klan convention. And "I'm only taking the Klan my message, I don't agree with their views", doesn't wash.

My analogy isn't off. Bob Jones University and KKK University (if such an institution were to be established) wouldn't differ on anything.
