That's actually the Confederate Battle Flag that guy is wearing on his t-shirt. The Confederate Flag is different and is the current flag of Georgia. Not as much uproar about that. The Battle Flag was used by the KKK in the 20th Century and thats when it became seen as offensive. Other Civil War symbols are AOK.
Of course Alberta has an element in its flag that did far more dastardly things than the Confederates. Even as recently as 1920 ~1000 Sikhs were massacred by soldiers under that banner.
