The Ku Klux Klan were prominent Democrats in the first half of the 20th century -- which is a lot more recent than the North/South war. Maybe all representations of the Democrats should be banned too! If the Confederate flag is historically associated with racism, so are the Democrats. Modern-day Democrats don't support the Klan but nor do the students above support slavery
