Hampshire College in Massachusetts has announced that it will no longer fly the U.S. flag at all in response to an incident where the flag was taken down and burned. The president of the college says that by getting rid of the flag the school will be able to focus on other issues like halting Islamophobia and promoting gay rights.
The mess for Hampshire College started a week and a half ago, after Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election. The school responded to Trump’s victory by keeping the U.S. flag at half-staff, as if in mourning, which upset some community members. Then, on the night before Veterans Day, somebody took the flag down and set it on fire.

If such were done in Mexico, the perps would have been killed on the spot BEFORE the police could arrive.
Another academic pussy.

Well then why don’t you move your POS college to the Middle East and enjoy Islam and goat humpers.
this stupidity is supported by government loans to students, who borrow money to pass to leftist puppy-mills like this, and in the process, make themselves long-term debt-serfs to the government.
Its really a perfect totalitarian scheme - and is why Fed.gov must get out of education entirely and be banned from lending money for education
I’m surprised that it was flying at all-—Hampshire has always been a bit “ out-there”.

I find it highly interesting and entertaining that the left can somehow support Islam, and gays.
How about making a WALL around the flag and higher so it won’t be destroyed by libtards? I’ve never even heard of this stupid college until now...
On second thought, don't do that. How I despise PC.
stop calling these colleges, and start calling them what they are: Pioneer Madrassas.
Hampshire is stuck in there in the consortium, with a 67% percent acceptance rate (compare with Amherst’s 14), for God only knows what reason.
The American college campus is replete with Leftwing milksops that prey on the youth they psychologically imprison.
Guess this guy missed the memo: The Islamists want to kill you, rape your wife and daughters, and kill all gays.
Total crap school; a poor and younger version of Bard. No, I take that back; they make Bard look kinda conservative.
” ... halting Islamophobia and promoting gay rights. “
Don’t those seem to be conflicting goals?
