Good for him. Most of those flags on the south weren't hung until desegregation began. So, they are racist. But everyone sees them that way, but enough do to where they shouldn't fly on public land.

While I think it is utterly ridiculous that anyone is truly offended, and not just saying they are because it is the cool thing to say, by a fricking flag it has no business being at the state capital. It has nothing to do with the state at this point so it shouldn't be there plain and simple.
