A college in Georgia that featured a protest last week where demonstrators trampled on the American flag has canceled classes in advance of what is expected to be a huge pro-flag rally.
Valdosta State University students were told that all classes on Friday, April 24 were called off because of a counter demonstration to support the US flag. The protest last week got interesting when an Air Force veteran picked the flag up off the ground and wouldn't give it back to the demonstrators. Police cited her for tresspassing when she wouldn't give up the flag or leave the scene.
Fox News:
The same university that detained a veteran for stopping protestors from desecrating an American flag is now shutting down in the anticipation of thousands of American flag supporters.Valdosta State University issued a statement cancelling “all classes and on-campus events scheduled for Friday, April 24.” Television station WALB reports as many as 4,000 people are expected to rally, one week after a small crowd desecrated Old Glory.
A VSU student tried to justify the disrespect of the American flag by saying, “When a slave understands his situation and understands he doesn’t want to be in slavery, he does not respect or revere anything his slave master has put in front of him.”
Air Force Veteran Michelle Manhart called the university when she previously heard about protesters planning to walk on and desecrate the flag, but nothing was done. Last week, when she heard it was happening again, she decided to do something about it.

Are all the college’s Pajama Boys and crewcut girls going to hide in safe zones?
File a multimillion dollar lawsuit against the university and the student organization that held the protest.
I was in downtown Lawrence Kansas a couple of years ago. Someone was trying to make a point about some band that was performing in the venue next to our favorite restaurant. They had taped a bunch of words and sayings on the sidewalk and people were walking on them. One of them was the word “Jesus.” I was not letting that happen and ripped it up. It was amazing that no one noticed. I try to go through life paying attention to what is going on. Another time at a pro-life demonstration at our state capital, I had my daughter in law and granddaughter with me. The group had their permits. Our archbishop was speaking. A woman was walking around with a sign and blocking our view. The sign had what I considered to be obscenities on it about her genitals. I took it from her. I tried to tear it up. I managed to rip it in two and put it in a trash can. About ten minutes later a couple of cops walked through the crowd. I just kept my head down. My granddaughter still thinks I was probably about to be arrested. LOL
“... A VSU student tried to justify the disrespect of the American flag by saying, “When a slave understands his situation and understands he doesn’t want to be in slavery, he does not respect or revere anything his slave master has put in front of him....”
Bet that student voted for the current enslavers, the libtard enablers. Be kind, be gentle, all think alike... Yeah, right.
So schedule the counter protest every single day for a week.
They were walking on the flag because they oppose Obama being in the White House #racists
From everything I’ve read, it has yet to be determined if the group that was desecrating the flag were even students at the University. When I was in college, non-students were not allowed to use the campus as a venue for any sort of protest or demonstration.
Cowards!
