Professors: US flag symbolizes racism, should not be displayed on campus
Fox News ^ | March 11, 2015 | Todd Starnes

A group of university professors has signed a letter showing their solidarity with students who tried to ban the American flag at the University of California, Irvine – because they said Old Glory contributes to racism.

“U.S. nationalism often contributes to racism and xenophobia, and that the paraphernalia of nationalism is in fact often used to intimidate,” read a letter obtained by the website Campus Reform.

Hundreds across the nation have signed the letter – including some U.C. Irvine professors, Campus Reform reported.

"We admire the courage of the resolution's supporters amid this environment of political immaturity and threat, and support them unequivocally" the letter stated.

How those professors can sleep at night knowing their salaries are paid for by a bunch of xenophobic racists is beyond me.

On March 3 the U.C. Irvine student government association voted 6-4-2 to remove Old Glory from a campus lobby for the sake of cultural inclusivity.

The un-American knuckleheads blathered on about how "the American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism."

Breitbart quoted an unnamed student who said the student government association feared the flag might hurt the feelings of illegal aliens.

Hardly a surprise that hundreds of leftist, communist professors across the nation would support a US Flag ban.

Fire them, they shouldn't be teaching our young people.

More proof that with few exceptions, colleges are moron factories that are not worth the cost and damaging to the customers.

Hmmm, really?

I propose that these professors receive their grossly inflated salaries in rubles or possibly Mexican pesos.

I am getting more and more ashamed of being associated with such stupidity in academia. I would not last ten seconds in a room with these fools without losing my demeanor and lowering myself to their level—except that until such stupidity is expunged from academia there will be less and less worthy of the word.

Yes, "political immaturity". I remember the Oxford Oath. From the Wiki article:

The so-called Oxford Oath was derived from a resolution carried by students of the Oxford Union, by 275 votes to 153, on 9 February 1933 that "this House will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country".

It has been claimed by one Joseph Alsop that the resolution made a tremendous impression upon Hitler himself; he regularly cited it when his general staff protested against his military decisions.

Winston Churchill, later Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, denounced the resolution as "that abject, squalid, shameless avowal".

Very popular among the intellectualoids, however. They never change.

The students who disagree should be hanging flags from their dorm room windows, wearing flag pins, etc.

There should be a sea of US Flags on campus.

The loons on the left despise all patriotic symbols, and as good little Marxists have always done, they will make up lies about those symbols.

There’s a standing joke among the UC ( University of California ) students.

UCLA : University of Caucasians Lost Among Asians

UCI ( UC Irvine ): University of Chinese immigrants.

UCSB ( UC Santa Barbara ): University of Casual Sex and Beer

UCSC ( UC Santa Cruz ): University of Constantly Smoking Cannabis

Sorry, Bozo, but any illegal alien who comes to my country and wants to bitch about it can hang a 180 and go home. If you come to this country, you play by OUR rules, not yours. If your feelings are hurt, go back where you came from...the US is not for you.
