Description of Artwork: A specialty Texas State license plate prominently depicting a Confederate flag, which reads "Sons of Confederate Veterans" at the bottom.
The Incident: The Texas Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans filed a lawsuit after they were refused their request to produce specialty license plates depicting the Confederate flag, which is offered on license plates in 9 other states.
The request was rejected, according to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Board, because many members of the public take offense to depictions of the Confederate flag. Texas offers more than specialty plates with a wide array of visuals and messages. The Sons of Confederate Veterans say that the license plate is not intended to spread hatred. The lawyer representing the Sons of Confederate Veterans argues that the message displayed on a license plate while driving is private speech, not government speech.
However, others argue that the production of the plates imply a government endorsement of the imagery and message. From Censorpedia.
