The Massachusetts college that drew nationwide criticism when it stopped flying the U.S. flag on campus following the presidential election says Old Glory is back up. Hampshire College in Amherst returned the flag to full staff on Friday.
The flag was lowered to half-staff after the Nov. 8 election. The flag was found burned on Veterans Day and the college decided to take down all campus flags on Nov. 18.
The decision drew widespread condemnation and a protest by veterans groups and their supporters outside campus.

“Why should we, the taxpayers, fund a university who despises our country? How “dumbed down” are they? “
Well then, we should stop all (or nearly all) college and university funding. Only those institutions which, as a matter of policy, do not take federal money are one’s that might be o.k. to give to. The god news is, they are too principled to get ensnared with the Dept of Education.
A reporter did that to me I would break his f,ing jaw.
Probably more the alumni $$$ than vets, but whatever, they’ve reversed that dumba$$ decision. BUT that does not signify a change in the underlying thinking/feelings that led to the initial decision. This is merely a reaction to being opposed, not a change of mind/heart. I still think it’s frightening.
Ha, that college pres didn’t look like he could break a popsicle stick. lol
He needs to replace Me-again on her time slot.
No coincidence that Hampshire ranks at the bottom in “salary after attending” categories. Its a pothead school.
Hampshire College...GTFO of my country.
Yep. It is all about whine, bitch, I need this and that and, and; I want it now. They beg outside stores with “help wanted and even hiring immediately signs. UNREAL.
That’s right. They couldn’t care less about others unless they are fulfilling their Useful Idiot roll or the well being of the country as a whole.
