What is everyone's view on removing the Confederate flag from displays?
I don't care whether they leave it up or take it down. What I care about is the here and now. I would like our government (and public in general) to pay attention to the things that matter: Iran nuclear deal, illegal immigration, jobs, economy, etc.

Please elaborate on "To sell anything".
It's nothing more than bullying. Oh, I'm sorry the PC term is "shaming".
If I find that something "offends" me, can I ask to have it removed?
How about if enough people find that it offends them?
Because if that's the rules, the Kardashians and Kenya West are goners.
I don't think so, but if you find a symbol of hate, which was used to intimidate and frighten a class of people, then I would say yes, ask them to remove it from any tax payer funded flag pole.
Suddenly white people everywhere care deeply about this piece of fabric. I don't get it.
Take it down.
I can see the argument from both sides. Some people probably don't even care about the flag but think removing it completely sets a bad precedent. I think if someone wants it flying in their yard that is their right but I can see why it shouldn't fly over government buildings unless there is some historical significance to the building, ex. it was used by the confederacy for something historically significant. Personally the flag doesn't offend me and if they take it down it doesn't affect me. Maybe one day they will call for a ban on something I care strongly enough about to join protests and speak out, but this isn't one of them.
