Suppression of First Amendment rights on private property.
Via WCHL:
While Orange County commissioners contemplate placing restrictions on the size of flags in the county, a Confederate battle flag has been hoisted along a major thoroughfare.
The flag was raised over the weekend on Highway 70 on the western outskirts of Hillsborough. The group Alamance County Taking Back Alamance County posted photos of the flag going up to the group’s Facebook page on Saturday night.
Plans have been in the works for weeks for the group to raise several flags throughout Orange County. That prompted the Orange County Board of Commissioners to work toward regulations of flag sizes and poles placed on private property.
“Tyranny and over oppressive government elect want to limit a property owners rights to show pride and honor for his history and legacy,” read the post on the ACTBAC NC Facebook page.[…]
The Orange County Human Relations Commission is scheduled to host a community conversation Monday night on the proposed text amendment that is being weighed and would bring about flag size regulations. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Whitted Building on Tryon Street in Hillsborough.
