Sons of Confederate Veterans sue NC over battle flag license plate

The state's Division of Motor Vehicles discontinued the specialty plates in January, citing their potential offensive nature of the symbolism. Frank Powell, a spokesman for the state chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, said officials never discussed the move with the group or suggested any alternatives. "They just cut us off without warning, after what, 23 years without a problem,' Powell said.
