A viral tweet has left Harvard University facing an outcry from an unlikely group of free speech advocates — the Barbz.

Barbz — the name given to the devoted fans of rapper/singer/songwriter Nicki Minaj — have taken to Twitter to defend the expressive rights of several Harvard undergraduate students who were told to take down a flag depicting the rapper hanging in their residence hall window.

On Sept. 5, a Harvard undergrad writing under the Twitter handle @imjustjuice tweeted that he and his suitemates had been contacted and told to remove the flag over concern that “the community will find the flag offensive.” Presumably sent by a Harvard official, the email did not explain how the flag — depicting a bikini-clad Minaj saluting in front of an American flag — could be considered offensive.

@imjustjuice tweeted, accompanied by a photo of the flag and a screenshot of the email:

Harvard really said no Barbz allowed in school 😔 😔 THIS is where harvard draws the line?! #JusticeForNicki.

I'll give her this. She is an attention seeker and she's smarter than the average celeb. They are all unthinking NPC sheep, especially musicians. People like Bruce Springsteen would stand guard at the concentration camps if Obama asked them too, and they'd be proud as they watched conservatives marched into rooms they never seem to come out of. All while claiming to be a rebel.

But she's figured out that when everyone else is spitting on the flag she can get a lot of attention for being bold enough to HONOR it. Whoa, that's a REAL rebel in today's pop culture.

Or maybe she's just a super patriot. Either way, I'll take it. Its helpful.

Swear allegiance to the flag,
Whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly,
For someday sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.
