A Confederate flag on University of Wisconsin-La Crosse grounds has stirred up debate between advocates of free speech and proponents of inclusivity after a campus official apologized for the “fear and angst†caused by the banner.
The controversy arose after Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Paula Knudson received complaints, both in the form of phone calls and official “hate and bias†reports, about the flag’s presence on the grille cover of a semi-tractor parked on the student center construction site.
“It was numerous. Calls started coming, people started coming in, and other offices started calling in,†Knudson said Wednesday.
The message she received was “essentially, this is hurtful,†Knudson said, and called the university to action.
Among those who filed reports was physics senior Matthew Dreis, who saw the flag on his way to class Friday morning. Dreis was disappointed to see what he considers hate speech displayed in the heart of campus.
“I was let down. I really hoped we were beyond that in 2015,†Dreis said.
While Dreis understands the display is protected by the First Amendment, he said displaying the flag shows bad taste and indicates a larger problem on campus.
“That’s very inappropriate. I think we have problems with institutionalized racism at our school and when we see it at the construction site of the physical building where students are getting their education it solidifies that there’s a problem with our campus atmosphere,†Dreis said.

Can someone please direct me to my safe space?
With as many dummies around, is it any wonder that history repeats itself?
I thought it was a Grill cover for a Weber, not a Peterbuilt!
Probably had a General Lee CB radio too.
They were probably also offended by the hard work done by the construction crew.
The words “hard work” are racist, doncha know.
Will they be screening the workers to make sure none of them were born in the South?
As a Christian I am extremely offended by the rainbow flag and what it represents. If this was displayed on the semi rather than the stars and bars and I made a complaint, would it have had the same response from these Wisconsin University Marxists?
Matthew Dreis needs to have his diaper changed.

Are they too scared of REAL THREATS to do something? So they only go after the imaginary ones. It's safer that way.
The rainbow worship is a sick satanic joke! It celebrates mankind being wiped out!
Ask them why they are agreeing with Donald Trump?
Then watch the mouse wheel spin...
Still fighting the War Between the States in LaCrosse.
