Pentagon set to unveil policy aimed at banning public display of racially or socially divisive symbols on military installations


Defense Secretary Mark Esper is set to unveil a policy aimed at barring troops from having racially or socially divisive symbols in public places on military installations, several defense officials tell CNN.

It is not publicly known yet if Esper will specifically announce a long-expected ban on the Confederate flag as part of the policy change, which could come as soon as this week, although the military services have all wanted a ban for some time.

Esper could choose to ban the flag or set an overall policy banning divisive symbols and leave it up to the services to decide on specific measures.

Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman declined to comment.

So we go from, "Pentagon set to unveil policy aimed at banning public display of racially or socially divisive symbols on military installations, to "not publicly known yet if Esper will specifically announce a long-expected ban on the Confederate flag as part of the policy change...& "...banning divisive symbols and leave it up to the services to decide on specific measures."

WELL WHICH IS IT?

Sorta, maybe, leave it up to others...

2. I assume this would also prohibit Confederate base names, correct?
