In question is whether a local or state government should be putting up a symbol of rebellion against our country, as well as one that would offend so many people.

Actually, the question is whether there is any law prohibiting a state or local government from doing so. If a state legislature duly enacts a law prohibiting flying the flag, I would say they can't do it; otherwise, they can.

The question of whether such a law SHOULD be passed in another issue. In general, my view is that laws shouldn't be passed unless there are good reasons for them.

For example, my idiot state representative's kid struck out in a baseball game last year. So this nitwit introduces a bill requiring little league umpires to have eye exams on a regular basis. While we could all agree that it is reasonable for these guys to have eye exams, I'm not sure a law is called for.
