The Hartland firefighter who put the Stars & Bars battleflag on the city fire truck for the Albert Lea parade has been suspended. He seems to be starting to figure out that he didn’t think it through. As a condition of keeping his job, he should have to do some homework and write about Minnesota participation in the Civil War and the meanings of the use of that flag from the 1940s to the present, to be published as Commentary in the Albert Lea Tribune.
The parade organizer still refuses to take any responsibility.
It’s hit TIME Magazine:
