I find it pretty hilarious (actually not really, not funny at all) a bunch of cupcakes are running some policy or whatever you want to call it, for their school. Does the admin. have no balls whatsoever? After the flag burning they decided to take dow all US flags on campus, WTH? This is a school where it costs 62K a semester and all these kids are getting all in a tizzy over all the "social injusticves" going on. Gimme a F'n break, a bunch of privilaged brats bitching about something that they really haven't the faintest idea what it's really like to be poor and underprivilaged. I bet they've never even been to an inner city neighborhood, I also wonder if they do anything to help other than bitching, maybe some do I'd sure hope so.
I recognize it but I sure as hell am not gonna go start burning flags. I sincerely hope DT does something to help the inner citys schooling, economy etc. He's the only one to directly address the inner city issues and made promise to actually do something for it. I sincerely hope he keeps his promises on that issue.
Massachusetts college stops flying US flag on campus for now
" (CNN)Hampshire College, a liberal arts institution of about 1,400 students, has taken some heat after deciding not to fly the US flag.
A day after the presidential election, the Massachusetts college sided with students who lowered the flag to half-staff.
The administration wanted to build student rapport and facilitate discussion on what the flag represents.
That angered some people in the Amherst community, where the college is located.
And when someone lit the campus' US flag on fire November 10, many more pushed back after the college decided to do away with flying the American flag, at least temporarily.
How things happened"
For Veterans Day on November 11, college officials replaced the burned US flag and flew one full-staff.
The next day, Hampshire trustees voted to lower the banner to half-staff again, to continue the campus discussion on the flag's meaning.
Flying the flag at half-staff "was meant as an expression of grief over the violent deaths being suffered in this country and globally, including the many U.S. service members who have lost their lives," President Jonathan Lash said.
Lash regretted the college taking that action as it caused some "unintentional distress" over a traditional expression of mourning, school spokesman John Courtmanche told CNN.
On Monday, Lash announced in a Facebook statement that the college had decided on November 18 that no flags, US or otherwise, would fly over campus for the time being. But students can still fly their own flags.."
