U. California students remove offensive American flag from 'inclusive' space
Campus Reform ^ | March 6, 2015 | Caleb Bonham and Kaitlyn Schallhorn

Posted on 03/07/2015 1:31:54 PM PST by detective

The Associated Students of University of California, Irvine (ASUCI) voted Tuesday to remove all flags, including American flags, from an inclusive space on campus because of their offensive nature.

The bill, R50-70, was authored by Social Ecology Representative Matthew Guevara, and accuses all flags, especially, the American flag, of being “symbols of patriotism or weapons for nationalism.”

I Googled that term and all I get back is something about chimpanzees.

I often wondered why demonstrators on the Left never displayed American flags. It is now that I understand. These Lefties hate the American flag and everything it stands for. Their minds of mush have been indoctrinated by a anti-America scholastic system that would be satisfied if America became a third-world communist nation.

Actually, if you read the student resolution, all their animus is directed toward the flag of the United States. It is a generous interpretation of the resolution to say it is a ban on all flags.

In addition, there are some weasel words at the end that allow for reconsideration. Somehow, I'm pretty sure display of the flags of Hamas and Hezbollah would not be problematic to these “leaders.”

funny the kids don’t think it is ‘offensive’ to be sucking up billions of American and California tax dollars to help pay for their ‘university’ and their ‘education’

Correcting my previous post. The resoultion DOES, in fact, ban the flag of any nation from being displayed in the second to last paragraph. The last paragraph is the weasel words.

Agreed although I would venture to say the lefties may hate the American flag, but they have no clue what it really stands for, like FLOTUS herself.
The flag is merely an object to be ridiculed.
Besides most of us here grew up when that flag was revered and American exceptionalism was encouraged.

Now they grow up in the new Oconomy where the exceptionalism that flag represents has been redefined as guilt
leaving nothing more for them to be proud of, only a monument to be mocked and hated

“Remove offensive university, faculty, and students from American soil.”

A completely reasonable idea that needs to be implemented. Let’s see: the typical American leftist hates the military, despises guns and has been psychologically castrated by femi-Nazis. They carry purses, wear Maybelline eye makeup and squat to piss like female dogs.

I don’t think these 50 IQ, bed-wetting apes will put even a token fight.

I believe they’re home grown.

You do realize the Teachers’ Union (DemocRATS) have had control of the education system in our schools for about
50 OR SO YEARS ..??

Tucker Carlson was talking about it this morning .. saying we shouldn’t be surprised.

We must stop funding these so-called institutions of higher learning. Cut off the dollars and starve them to death.
