Who is going to fight it? It only affects the people who are in favor of it.

Isnt it a 1st amendment violation to single it out? Surely someone will fight it

To clarify, the bill bans the sale of confederate flags/symbols on State property. Individuals and private businesses can still buy/sell/fly it.

I like the ending note:

Some states have gone the other direction: Earlier this year, Georgia approved a specialty license plate featuring the Confederate flag.

Just goes to show that a democratic majority can be a double-edged sword.

Shows what idiots they are. GA has sold the SCV liscense plates for what,15 years now?

The ban will only restrict the sale or display of the flag by State agencies. Individuals and private businesses can still buy/sell/fly.

Go back and read the article again....the law prohibits the state from selling/displaying it, not individuals or corporations.
