Heads up. Another company has bowed to woke-ism. I have ordered specialty decals from Rockin' Monkey in San Antonio, Texas (www.rockinmonkey.com) for several years. They all contained the Confederate battle flag (either ANV or AOT), and there never was any controversy. I needed to place a reorder and this is the response I received today:

Hi Greg,
Thank you for your order #94475. Unfortunately, we noticed that your image has images/symbols/wording that may be considered hate speech due to the controversy of this design.
We do not print any stickers containing hate speech, intent to harm or images that harass, abuse, insult, harm, defame, slander, disparage, intimate or discriminate based on gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, race, age, or disability.
If you would like to send in an alternate image that does not contain these images/wording we can switch out the image and continue with your order. If we do not receive a new image within 24-48 hours we will cancel your order and issue you a refund. If you would prefer, we can also cancel your order and issue you a refund.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and have a rockin day!

Hello Melissa,
The Confederate flag in its original meaning has nothing to do with hate.
Your company did these stickers for me several times in the past as you can see in my order history and there never was any controversy. I am disappointed that your policy has apparently changed.
Please issue a full refund immediately. I will start looking for another company.
Thank you,
Greg

While they now claim the Confederate battle flag is offensive, this company has no qualms about "rockin'" this cutsey Baphomet image on their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/14FtUnmH36J/
Vistaprint in Waltham, Massachusetts (www.vistaprint.com) is another company that will not accept any orders containing the battle flag. I was a faithful customer of theirs for five years until they changed their policy after the George Floyd hoopla. However, Sticker Mule in Amsterdam, New York (www.stickermule.com) and Make Stickers in Tinley Park, Illinois (www.makestickers.com) have done thousands of stickers, magnets, and other things for me with absolutely no problem at all. I highly recommend them - Make Stickers in particular is incredibly fast. Unfortunately, neither does the specific product I needed. While I'm at it, I also recommend Smart Blonde in Louisville, Tennessee (www.smartblonde.net) for all your aluminum product needs.
It's time for the Southern heritage community to reward those companies that haven't bowed to political correctness and to withdraw from those that do. Capitalism in action.
