I have no words for this:

The Alabama state flag, along with other banners from across the country, has been removed from the U.S. Capitol due to concerns that some include Confederate imagery.


The banners, which hang in the tunnel to the Capitol, will be replaced with images of the state quarters.


Rep. Candice Miller, R-Michigan, chairman of the Committee on House Administration, said the flags were removed prior to renovations on the tunnel between the Rayburn House Office Building and the U.S. Capitol. Once complete, a print of each state's commemorative coin will be displayed in place of the flags.

If the mods need to move this to the strip I understand.
