On April 2, the schools PTO hosted a fair with various vendors, one of whom is known as the Flag Lady. She had various flags for sale at her booth, including flags that support Donald Trump, the old Mississippi state flag and rebel flags.
A picture of the booth was posted by Alexis Weathersby, a local mother of two. The post, which she posted to Facebook on April 7, has garnered over 300 comments and 200 shares.
(Confederate flags) dont belong in our schools, Weathersby, who has a child at the school, told the Sun Herald. It is a symbol of hatred and pain and slavery and trauma
if this was a Nazi flag, it would be a no brainier.

Can it regulate what is sold at the market on the basis of the speech content thereof?

That's what "too late" is all about. This is what they mean when they say, "fuck your feelings". They WILL happily encamp any and all who aren't aligned with their view of propriety, decorum, ethnicity and religiosity. They'll do that simply because there will have never been an actual check on their extremism from any quarter which would wield and unleash the power behind its constitutional and traditional authority. Still, they'll continue proselytizing the gross charade, whining about how they'd had to fight desperately against a super-secret evil power bent on destroying our nation.
