From Bumper Stickers to T-Shirts, Confederate Flags Now Officially Off-Limits for Marines
-- "This flag represents a threat to our core values." --
Marines got the official order to remove all items featuring the Confederate battle flag from public areas and workspaces Friday night.
Marines can no longer wear T-shirts or drink coffee from mugs featuring Confederate flags on base, according to new force-wide guidance on the ban. The ban also applies to bumper stickers, posters and any other public displays of the flag on Marine Corps installations worldwide.
"The Confederate battle flag has all too often been co-opted by violent extremists and racist groups whose divisive beliefs have no place in our Corps," a Marine social media post about the policy states. "This presents a threat to our core values, unit cohesion, security, and good order and discipline. This must be addressed."

Any mention of African flag colors or Malcolm X paraphernalia?
"Malcolm X
El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, better known as Malcolm X, was an American Muslim minister and human rights activist who was a popular figure during the civil rights movement. He is best known for his staunch and controversial black racial advocacy, and for his time spent as the vocal spokesperson of the Nation of Islam.Wikipedia"

I have a feeling Malcom coffee cups, Kwanzaa flags, Soviet battle standards are exceedingly rare in the USMC and not even worth the time to promulgate administrative regulations for.
On the flip side, Confederate paraphernalia has probably been ubiquitous and widespread in the USMC for the better part of a century.

I wonder...
What happens when some low rank enlisted is reading a book on the Civil War and there's a picture of a Confederate Flag in it...

The Confederates tried to break up the country. They fought brutally to tear the union apart. There is nothing redeeming in what they were doing and why. They fought for slavery. Their actions should be remembered in history but not proudly shown in public. They were anti-Americans.
