The CMA said confederate flag imagery won't be allowed because its event policy states "any behavior that causes one of our attendees to fear for their personal safety will not be tolerated, and that is inclusive of any displays of the Confederate flag."

I've been informed that flags are not the.same thing as books. I'll have to check my notes on that, but you may want to just inquire further on this angle

CSA supporters can print their flag on a book and wave that around. I’m sure that it wouldn’t invoke any unsavory images.
