Kathy Davis: Superficial gesture in removing flag

Regarding the June 23 news article “S.C. leaders join call to remove flag”: Removing the flag does no more to ensure the eradication of racism than leaving Bibles in hotel rooms does to guarantee conversion of the guest to Christianity.

Correlation is not causation, as any first-year statistics student would tell us.
