I'd say no. Although if it was being used to rally and call for action against the constituted government, it might be a different story. We do, after all, protect "speech" that is more vile, and as reprehensible as we may find it, we do so because we mostly believe in thin edge of the wedge arguments.

Flown by government installations, however, is probably a different kettle of fish. I'd be open to forbidding that, since it is quite illogical that a goverment would display the emblems of a regime that rebelled against it. Well, of the armies that were the instruments of the rebelling regime, if you want to be rigorous about it.

There is no good reason to display the Confederate flag anywhere than in a museum. . . . The operative word is "taboo", so this would imply that one would have a sense of shame in displaying it (as one should!).

the flag is protected under our 1A, so citizens are free to fly it on private property.

I just meant that the "taboo" nature should prevent individuals from doing so out of shame. . . . I wouldn't dream of making it illegal, as it would be a violation of the first amendment. . .

is that racists have no shame.
