The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the Confederate flag hanging in the American Adventure's Hall of Flags has been quietly removed:
Although there's certainly a strong argument for not flying the flag over places like a statehouse, I think that it's entirely appropriate in a historical setting, like a museum or the collection of various historical flags at Epcot. Since the article didn't specify, I would assume that it is still represented onscreen during the Two Brothers segment, just like it always has (along with Lance and Tiger in the finale). If we can't learn from the past, we're doomed to repeat it; this isn't something we should celebrate, but we also shouldn't pretend that it never happened
I know there's a General Discussion thread discussing the possibilities of this, but this is confirmed news about it. Feel free to move/combine as necessary
