The traditional “Stars and Bars” Confederate flag is a symbol that many Leftists would like banned, but apparently anything remotely relating to the Southern secession movement is anathema as well. Even a rather unknown portion of a state flag is not immune to Leftists.

The attack on the Maryland State flag (pictured below) is a part of the larger movement to stop HBO from producing a series named “Confederate,” an alternative history series that looks into what the world would like look if the Southern states successfully separated from the Union.

Leftists don’t want this to happen, and many are having an absolute hissy-fit over the idea that anything related to slavery may be freely discussed.

But going after that show is not enough. Apparently, a portion of the Maryland state flag has Confederate symbolism in it, and that just needs to change.

Now, if you know anything about Maryland, it’s that they love their flag. Everywhere you go, you see state flag paraphernalia, whether it’s in stores, on street signs, or car bumpers. That flag is everywhere.

But as CBS Baltimore reports, that’s just wrong and it needs to be changed.

During a social media campaign to derail HBO’s planned modern-day Southern slavery drama, one Twitter user’s posts about the history of the Maryland flag got a lot of attention. “What a lot of people don’t know is that the Maryland flag is half confederate,” @benjancewicz wrote, using the hashtag #NoConfederate.

Yes, even though Maryland was a Union state, the flag — which is featured on the state’s license plate and is a popular adornment for clothing and accessories — does contain some Confederate symbolism.

The yellow and black portion of the flag is attributed to the Calvery family, the first royal proprietors of the Maryland colony. The red and white portion of the flag was apparently flown by supporters of the Southern secession movement, according to state records.

The flag as we now know it was officially adopted in 1904, and has not been an issue since. But, remember that we’re living in the 21st century, and if there is any possible way to create victimhood status, it will happen.

This is a non-issue. There are much more important things that Marylanders need to address, like the insane crime rates in Baltimore, horrific crimes by illegal aliens in their schools, and their egregious gun control laws that restrict citizens from defending themselves.

Priorities, people…
