We found him in South Carolina. He is 70-years-old and said he would climb any pole if it meant getting rid of the Confederate flag.
“Yes I will. It represents the ugliness in the world that we live in,” he told ABC7 News.
We asked him if the name Dianne Feinstein should be removed from that school because she ordered the flag to be replaced after he took it down, not once but three times.
“They should have the name removed from the school. She does not represent what makes the people happy and what’s good in the world we live in or in San Francisco,” he added.
Yet that flag was there when George Moscone was mayor of San Francisco, before Feinstein. He did not take it down yet, there is a school named after him and the board is not removing his name. Bradley says Moscone’s name should also be taken down.
At least one of the school board members suggested that perhaps they should name a school after Bradley. He said it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
“I believe in helping the kids and having the kids have something to look up to that they can represent and the kids will be happy,” he said.
He had this message for the members of the school board:
“Keep students in this country that we live in looking forward and looking at what represents them and what’s good for America,” he said with a smile.
How the fuck did that get up a flagpole in San Francisco ever?
It was supposed to represent one of the ‘different periods of American history’, and it was controversial from the day it went up. When a new one was raised during a renovation some two decades later, Richard Bradley tore it down, and public outcry eventually led to it being replaced with a pro-Union flag.
Holy shit of course there’s a Union flag! They’re such sore losers they still hold on to flags we’ve forgotten! Gross that anyone campaigned for it to remain or to begin with.
