Pulling the Confederate merchandise, in a kneejerk reaction to foment divisiveness in America is not what our Park Service should be doing. Certain parts of government are supposed to be non political.....the Park Service is one of them. Pub, Dem, Libertarian, Green, Communist.....all should be able to enjoy our national parks.

The problem is having become a lightning rod for political opinion, keeping the Confederate flag around is as much a political statement as removing it. To wit: Gov. Haley's dilemma on what to do about the flag at the SC state capitol building. She tried to wash her hands of it and took heat for it.
So choose wisely.
