The right to display the Confederate flag is primarily associated with the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, which protects the freedom of speech and expression. This includes the right to express controversial or unpopular views, such as displaying symbols like the Confederate flag. However, this right can be subject to limitations, particularly in public spaces or contexts where it may incite violence or hate. Ultimately, the interpretation of this right can vary based on legal and social contexts.
The Confederate flag is still a symbol of southern pride. The south was for slavery so it is considered to be a racist flag. The KKK took the flag and made it there own and abused there power.
The order of the American flag is known as "The Flag Code," which is a set of guidelines established by the U.S. government to govern the display and handling of the flag. The code outlines proper protocols, such as when to display the flag, how to fold it, and how to treat it with respect. It emphasizes that the flag should always be displayed with dignity and never allowed to touch the ground. Additionally, the flag should be illuminated if displayed at night.

No, it is not illegal to display a Confederate flag. It is a form of protected speech under the first amendment. However, if the purpose of the flag is to instill rebellion, initiate racial hatred or violence, or to oppress a minority, that is an actionable offense. That is why the flag can be banned from schools, police uniforms, etc.
The short answer: The confederate flag is considered to be racist.
Yes, Its legal to fly it in any state. It's your 1st Amendment right.
Yes, the federal government cannot pass a law that infringes upon a person's right to free speech -- and displaying the confederate flag is a form of free speech. However, a government CAN remove images of the confederate flag from government property (i.e., redesigning state flags that include the stars and bars, etc.) Since the confederate flag has racist connotations, it would not be unreasonable for states to remove the confederate flag from statehouses and other government property. Private citizens could still fly the confederate flag exactly the same way that they are still allowed to display swastikas without government interference.
this is a question that will have varing answers due to opinions and my opinion is NO
YES. You have a right under the first amendment to the US Constitution. This is a protected form of political speech. In an official setting, it is proper protocol to always display the US flag when displaying any foreign flag and the US flag is always to be in the most visible or honored position. This is what is described in 'official' guides to showing the flag and what most Boy Scouts learned.
Looking as a viewer, the US flag is ALWAYS on the left, first in a display
