Hey, it’s not like there was some kind of major Civil War battle at Gettysburg.
Via Penn Live:
The bookstore at Gettysburg National Military Park’s Museum and Visitor Center will no longer sell items that solely depict a Confederate flag, the Gettysburg Foundation announced today.
The Foundation complied with a June 24 request from the National Park Service for park partners and bookstore operators to voluntarily pull these items from their shelves.
Gettysburg National Military Park’s Museum and Visitor Center will no longer sell stand-alone items that solely feature the Confederate flag, including display and wearable items, said Joanne Hanley, Foundation president. This affects 11 items out of 2,600 items carried in the bookstore, she said.
Hanley said she asked the bookstore operator, Event Network, to comply with the request today, which came to her from Ed Clark, Gettysburg National Military Park superintendent.
