i hope some group decides to walk around daily with waving American flags on campus....
People do not know the pressures veterans experience on campus. I was laughed at by an adviser when I declared my major, English lit and comp. I was told by a professor that he was surprised a Marine could understand literature (I pointed out to him that if he had said female, Black, Indian, homosexual or any other group that he may well be out of a job.) People treat you as though you are just out of mental health care. Everyone thinks you are suffering from PTSD and that you have killed thousands. You say little, if anything. You keep your head down and earn your degree. You are slapped in the face at nearly every turn. No one feels a need to check their opinion when speaking around veterans. The schools acccept all types of government funds and support and yet piss on those and symbols of those who work to ensure that they live freely and safely. It is shameful. Any school that refuses to fly the flag should be denied all federal funding. Veterans should take their tuition dollars elsewhere.
The administrator who did this is a chickenshite. Instead of dealing with the problem he slaps everyone in the face.
Hampshire started as the most liberal college in the area in 1970 during the height of the hippie era. It started as a pass-fail college. Liberal students were drawn to it.
Schools like this exist on government subsidies.
Time to cut them loose.
Funny thing, we’d never heard of this school before now. Now they’re infamous before being famous. LOL.
