Idiots. Don't they know the only flags acceptable for display on college campi are the Mexican flag, the rainbow flag and the Al-Qaeda flag?

Back to the re-education camp!

"Our intention was never to cause the pain the community is currently suffering," Rachel Hager, a senior from Bellaire, Texas, and Vanessa Felso, a senior from Alpharetta, Ga., wrote to their hallmates Sept. 18.

"We apologize for hanging an object seen as a symbol of hate for many and for the subsequent divide and suffering of the Bryn Mawr community."

"We got our heads right, boss."

I shouldn't have to walk past a Confederate flag on the way to my Black American Sociological Perspectives class, where we literally watch videos and learn about how that flag represents hatred and the lynching of people that look like me," said Bryn Mawr senior Allegra Tomassa Massaro, president of the NAACP, Tri-College Chapter. "That should not be part of my college experience."

You're right. Drop the class.

Seriously, the crap you learn from the class will hurt your life's happiness and earning potential far more than a flag. And by the way, if you think that flag represents one thing, and the displayer thinks it means another, you can tell her politely how you feel. And if she doesn't budge, forget about it. You will meet many people in life who think differently than you do. You want to have a temper tantrum each time that happens, you're in for an unhappy and frustrating life.

"my Black American Sociological Perspectives class" at Bryn Mawr

What absolute bullshit now masquerades as "higher learning" at this once proud institution. All these young idiots know how to do is proclaim righteous victimhood and silence all dissenting opinions.

Let me guess, they are getting a degree in Women's, Ethnic or Gender Studies.

And it will ensure that she remains an angry, bitter victim for the rest of her life.

Below is another example of outdated thought that needs to be denounced by college elites everywhere:

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Any bets this dingbat is going to wonder why she can't find a job out of college after taking classes like this?

Folks just don’t seem to remember that the Stars and Stripes flew over a slave country for 66 years.

The Battle Flag itself never did, tho was the field of the 2nd & 3rd Flags for ~2 years.

Wouldn’t hire any of them. They would be employee nightmares.
