Label the "Stars and Bars" as a rebel icon and flying it is an act of sedition, 18 U.S. Code § 2383

The southern flag is the symbol of the Confederacy, and as such should be labeled as a symbol of rebellion. Pursuant to 18 U.S. Code § 2383 which reads: "Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States." The flag is a symbol of insurrection, slavery, and hate, and as such anyone displaying the flag should be persecuted.
