Maybe there are people in your state that think that being 49th in almost every state ranking (health, education, etc) is more important than wasting time on what appears on the State flag.
My family is from Mississippi and I have property there (my retirement lot!) I'm going to concentrate on improving the community I live in, only when capacity is built within the community, will things like this become non issues.
If folks REALLY don't like it, they could always move...maybe a mass migration would encourage a change
