‘Dukes Of Hazzard’ Reruns Yanked

The Duke Boys have been in trouble with the law since the day they was born, but now they're now feeling the wrath of Confederate flag protesters. TheWrap has confirmed that TV Land has pulled the 1980s-era comedy Dukes of Hazzard from its lineup because it featured a car — called The General Lee — that prominently displayed the flag on the roof. Warner Bros, which produced the show, recently announced they would cease production of all merchandise bearing the flag, including reproductions of The General Lee. Now the show itself, which ran for seven seasons, from 1979 to 1985, is being yanked/USA Today. More here.

Question: Do you agree/disagree with the decision to yank "The Dukes of Hazzard" reruns?
