Confederate Flag License Plates a No-Go in TX

A campaign to create Confederate flag license plates in Texas is history.

The state's Department of Motor Vehicles Board last week rejected a proposal to produce special Texas license plates with a group's Confederate flag logo.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans pushed for the plates, citing Confederate pride and the need to honor Civil War sacrifices.

Opponents -- including Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who is running for president -- felt the plates were divisive, and that the rebel flag could evoke racism.
