Blowback for flag-banning student government at UC Irvine? Recall petition
am thinker ^ | 3/9/15 | t lifson

The anti-America brainwashing of the American education system reached some kind of apogee with the vote of the UC Irvine student council (the “Associated Students of the University of California”) to ban the American flag in its main lobby, on a vote of 6 yea, 4 nay, and 2 abstentions.

That ban was overridden by the executive committee of the student council on a 4-1 vote, perhaps aware of the damage being done to the value of a degree from that school. Now, there is the beginning of blowback for the original majority from a group calling itself Americanstrong:

Wow!

Time to take your kids out of that vile Socialist indoctrination camp.

If I was in CA I'd be trying to get it entirely defunded.
If they want to keep the school going it should be entirely with private Leftist’s funds!

They ought to target the abstentions, too. Their cowardice allowed the America haters to win.

Multiculturalism in theory is silly and dangerous.

In practice it’s even worse.

If I was in CA I’d be moving out of state like I did when I had to work in MA.
Quit the job and moved to the south as did the wife and we have never been happier. At least our votes count here and my tax money goes to a decent run county by republicans.

One of my many jobs include hiring people. UC Irvine will now be a disqualifier.

If they successfully recall these jerks, I will recall my ban on hiring UC Irvine students.

PS Several other California, Ivy League, and East Coast schools are also disqualifiers. Anti-Americanism and open Marxism have consequences...

Probably someone who thinks a lawsuit is a better idea. In short, potential Republican House leadership material.

The real solution of the alumni to stop donating to the school and to demand that the student government and its enablers be sacked.
