Hi Barbara, I personally do not see anything wrong with using the CSA flag in an educational context such as you are doing. The fact that the US flag representing the Union appears side by side with the CSA flag, being on an album cover or a book cover indicates a balanced approach for educational purposes. It is quite different from the CSA flag being prominently displayed on the antenna or bumper of a dual-exhaust souped up monster pickup truck which is obviously meant to make a statement or intimidate others. Also a factor is WHERE it is being displayed. A Festival in New England where the politics of the attendees are more akin to Pete Seeger than to Strom Thurmond is a perfect example. There, it would only serve to inflame passions rather than to create a relaxing atmosphere conducive to enjoying the music. SOL ZELLER
