Banish SC Confederate license tags -- and take these away with them
The Democratic leader of the S.C. House is absolutely right: The Department of Motor Vehicles shouldn’t be allowed to issue license tags emblazoned with the Sons of Confederate Veterans seal.
But Rep. Todd Rutherford’s H.3091 doesn’t go far enough.
The DMV also shouldn’t be allowed to issue license tags with the logo of the H.L. Hunley or Bob Jones University or SC Equality or any other politically controversial organization.
It also shouldn’t be allowed to issue license plates bearing the logo of the S.C. Junior Golf Foundation. Or the University of South Carolina — or Clemson University, or any other college. Or high school. Or the Penn Center, or the Prince Hall Masons, or the S.C. Aviation Hall of Fame, or the S.C. Cattlemen’s Association, or the S.C. Troopers Association or the Surfrider Foundation or the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity or the Boy Scouts of America or the Boykin Spaniel Foundation.
Ditto tags with illustrations that aren’t logos but that advertise recycling and the square dance and our troops and trees and utility workers and fishing and … well, you get the picture.
