In the weeks since the horrific mass shooting at a historic black church in South Carolina that killed nine people there has been an increasingly Orwellian move to remove and ban all things connected to the Civil War South.

From removing the Confederate flag from state grounds to possibly renaming thousands of parks, roads, and landmarks across the country, the idea of erasing and sometimes rewriting history has swept the nation.

While most can agree that removing a flag that many African-Americans see as a symbol of hate and oppression is the right thing to do, the hard left isn’t stopping there and has now crossed the line into straight up authoritarian thought police.

In a piece published by the clickbait rag Salon.com, Nick Bromell, a professor of American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, calls for a new law that would classify displaying the Confederate flag a hate crime.

“It is a fine thing that the Confederate flag will no longer fly above the South Carolina state capitol,” wrote Bromell. “But displaying the Confederate flag anywhere is, at bottom, an act of hate. It should be recognized as such, and punished as a hate crime.”

That’s right, the new “free and equal” America imagined by the left will apparently include citizens being sent to jail for displaying a piece of history.

The call for classifying displaying the Confederate flag anywhere as a hate crime and thus having police arrest Americans for displaying a piece of cloth comes at a time where overall extreme political correctness has erupted across the country.
