Veterans Day parade rejects ‘Confederate Lives Matter’ float, but accepts CAIR

Veterans Day parade rejects ‘Confederate Lives Matter’ float, but accepts CAIR | The American Mirror:
The organizers of the Tulsa, Oklahoma Veterans Day parade think a group remembering the Confederacy is too controversial, but the radical Muslim group CAIR is okay.
The group “Confederate Veterans Lives Matter” applied to be a part of Wednesday’s parade, flying their Confederate flags, but the organizing committee denied their request, News On 6 reports.
“Just a regular old float, have the Confederate flag up there like we have mounted on our trucks, and have some people on the float, and wave our flags and have some visibility,” Confederate group Arlene Barnum says, describing the presentation of the float.
Parade organizers rejected Barnum’s request, saying it was submitted too late and the event doesn’t allow “any group that pushes its own personal agenda.”
Organizers deemed Confederate Veterans Lives Matter “is a political message in itself.”
But parade organizers are allowing the Council on American Islamic Relations, a group critics say is closely aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood.
“It’s something we have been wanting to do for years,” Adam Soltani, executive director of the Oklahoma Chapter of CAIR tells the Tulsa World.
