Students at the University of Mississippi voted to remove the state flag that includes the Confederate battle emblem.

After the resolution is signed, it will be up to the administration to remove the flag or not.

The vote is one of significance for Ole Miss — a school with a long history of association with racial turmoil.

“Seeing an institution with such an unpleasant history take steps toward progress can have an immense impact on the decisions of lawmakers,” Tysianna Marino, vice president of the University of Mississippi NAACP said before the vote, according to the Huffington Post..

“We have the ability to show the nation Mississippi is not stagnant,” she added. “We are ready for progress.”

      I think we could replace the right wing half of Congress with college students and have much better outcomes for this country than the back-biting, immature behavior on display now.

        I swear the freedom caucus(teabaggers) are less mature then a10 YO.

          Oh, absolutely. That’s why they hate the more normal thinking and acting Republicans so much and the House is in turmoil. I can handle somewhat moderate to conservative GOP members at times, but teabaggers are beyond useless.

    That is all we have going for us, hope that the younger generations are smarter than their parents and grandparents.

    However, Ben Carson the republican presidential candidate was shown on CNN actually wearing a Confederate Flag Tie. Maybe Ben Carson (R) SC should spend some time visiting his own state’s” War Memorials” in which those (names) who have paid the ultimate sacrifice, are listed on two plaques 1-White and 2- Black (COLORED) and maybe Ben Carson can wear that Confederate Flag Tie, like he and his fellow republicans are so apparently proud of!
