they were not real flags! They were made out of duct-tape.

Fine. Lets see some students there produce flags, made out of duct tape, of Cuba, Palestine, the gay Rainbow flag, all muslim flags, etc right in the same place.

The student is a woman, not a man.

Exactly! He prefers to be called Loretta! Everyone please stop oppressing Stan, I mean, Loretta!

I think a serious point is being overlooked. The purpose of the piece was to generate discussion, and I assume the artist chose her subject matter with a full awareness of how heated the discussion could become; and I believe it would be accurate to say that discussion is being generated, both from liberal and conservative viewpoints alike. It isn’t my place to say who is right or wrong, but I do think an important goal was achieved through this demonstration, it has caused more and more people to think and become opinionated in some way or another in regards to how our country is run. It sparked interest, and regardless of pride or protest, it has created a drive in people to care about things happening around them. And in such a tense and volatile political climate, there is nothing worse than indifference.
