Legally they couldn't, Lucas wouldn't license AA to them.

Well maybe he'd license this one to them:

Although I know of at least one school in Iowa that hung the confederate flag in their gyn up into the 90's.

Probably in Steve King country in NW Iowa, which doesn't really help your claim that the pride is in "heritage"

They shoulda stayed true to their heritage.

In the same manner in which you stay true to your heritage?

nope, South Page - although that is as close to Mizzou as you can get in Iowa.

I am not defending the south - I am born and raised in Iowa,and it was a shock to me to see the confederate flag flying openly, but that being said, I have never heard a complaint from anybody but the "damn yankees" (not the Ted Nugent band ), including many the african americans that I work with. I am just comparing my experience between NC and Iowa - I personally have witnessed more racism in Iowa - although most if it was not overt discrimination, but more in the comments and jokes people say, that being said, there is a big difference between the south of Carolina and the south in Mississippi and Alabama

I live in the South and the overt racism here is way more than I ever experienced in Iowa. In Iowa it is more covert. Ever heard the euphemism "People from Chicago" in IC? That doesn't mean the co-eds from the suburbs. It means the residents around Broadway street.
