> I suppose that I shouldn’t be surprised to find that an American university has its own “Red Square”. Is that its formal name or a local nickname? <
Wikipedia has an article about that. From the article:
In 1969, the field was excavated, an underground parking garage was built, and the engineers who designed the garage thought that the rain on the grass would leak into the garage, leading to the choice of a distinctive red brick surface.
Cassandra Amesely, then an editor of the student paper The Daily, convinced the student population to refer to the area as Red Square, presumably in reference to the color of the brick. Whether it was also meant to refer to Moscow’s Red Square in an era known for student activism is unclear.

Anyway you look at it, “Red Square” is an inappropriate name. It would be like naming a square “SS Square” because some guy with the initials S.S. designed it. Bad karma.
Liberal and their stupidity are getting way beyond “out of control”. Sooner or later the pot is going to boil over and people on both side are going to die. For what, because we disagree on one thing or another?. I have no doubt many of the “protestors” are being well paid to keep their “hate America” fires burning.
