The Confederate Battle Flag (the one that gets the attention is actually a merge of multiple Army flags) flying in SC is not atop the State House as is most often being reported, it is at a Civil War monument next to the State House.

I have no love of the Confederate Battle Flag, though I do appreciate its history both to the Southerners and to the USA as a whole. To stand upon the grounds of Gettysburg, I can understand why people admire it and I am appreciative that the south lost at that battle. But things are not cut and dry and lack of knowledge heaped on top of agenda does not an honest conversation make.
