Facebook and Old Glory

Facebook canceled the Abbeville Institute. I was notified on June 10 that the Abbeville Institute Facebook page had been unpublished due to “repeated community standards violations.” Our offenses? We used the image of the Confederate Battle Flag for one post in July 2020 which earned the Institute our first strike. A purely American image that had been the recognized symbol of the South for decades is now considered “hate speech” by our wise progressive overlords. Then, we published a critical article on the Ku Klux Klan in March 2020 titled, “A Skeleton in the Yankee Progressive Closet.”

To highlight the fact that the Klan typically avoided using Confederate symbols during the height of its influence in the 1920s, we selected the image below above, a cover for the sheet music of the tune, “We Are All Loyal Klansman,” published in 1923. This image can be easily found online and can even be purchased at a leading online image repository.
