Patriots in the Heartland are furious after the University of Kansas raised a defaced American flag on campus. And it was intentional.
The flag, defaced with what looks like black paints and the incongruous image of a sock, is part of an art installation hosted by the Spencer Museum of Art called, “Pledges of Allegiance.”
One of my readers passed along photos of the red, white, blue and black flag flapping in the breeze. And like any right-thinking, red-blooded American patriot he was enraged.
“I’m ashamed to be a Jayhawk,” he told me. “Wake up, America.”
The defaced and desecrated flag is the work of Josephine Meckseper, according to Creative Time, a public arts organization.
“The flag is a collage of an American flag and one of my dripped paintings which resembles the contours of the United States,” Meckseper said in a post on Creative Time’s website. “I divided the shape of the country in two for the flag design to reflect a deeply polarized country in which a president has openly bragged about harassing women and is withdrawing from the Kyoto protocol and UN Human Rights Council.”
So she defaced Old Glory to take a cheap shot at President Trump? How avant-garde.
Speak for yourself, Ms. Meckseper.
A university spokesperson said the photo is of a display from the nationwide "Pledges of Allegiance" public arts project that went up July 5 and is at 13 locations nationwide.
The university said the exhibit is being funded by private donations.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach tells me he is outraged by the exhibit.

Can we wrap it around the ‘artist’ first?
Yes, universities, keep it up. We taxpayers will send our children elsewhere eventually. You do not provide as much benefit as you think you do.
Hers the email I sent.
This isn’t art and it is anything but brave. If this woman wants to be brave and start conversations (the latest excuse for ugly stuff masquerading as art) then she should fly a flag with an image of mohammed.
Foreigner, engaging in political activism. WTF kind of visa is she here on?
I’m guessing another sexually-frustrated man-hater.
It’s about time to start bloodying some of these people up.
Call more alums and raise holy hell !! Threaten to not give them any more money.
Shows that liberals have turned American universities into anti-American propaganda tools.
Not that we haven’t known this for some period of time. But the fact that UK feels bold enough to do this.
These are Democrats in charge that made this happen.
Hillary lost and they’re willing to destroy the country over that. That is their allegiance to Obama. Who also worked hard to destroy the country.
Frankly, I’m shocked so many on the left can be so stupid as to try and destroy their own country.
Ping.
I’m wondering if it is transgender ..... O.K. I’m joking.
mostly....
You can't remake it into a socialist workers' paradise if you don't destroy it first. Ask the Bolskeviks. Or the National Socialists. Or the Communist Party of China. Leftism is a death cult; leftists worship destruction.
She looks....How shall I say it.....”wanting”....
Maybe she’s been rejected quite a bit....
Alumni should send checks for $0.00 in response to any solicitation, accompanied by this picture, and state that they will continue to with-hold contributions until a heartfelt and well-publicized apology is delivered.
Adam's Apple....awaiting photo analysis.
Paging Danny Bonaduce....
Frankly, with my bit of tin-foil, I believe national sovereignty stands between the Western world and the New World Order. The two most significant “*rebellious” sovereign nations - America and Israel.
*Rebellious doesn’t include the NWO Obamanation.
Why are so many so complacent about the West committing national suicide?
HOW could a pro-Muslim, pro-gay fraud like Obama reach the White House? WHAT in the world is going on?
It’s a world-wide madness of rank idiocy. I call it the beginnings of the strong delusion prophesied.
50 and even 40 years ago, this garbage would have been very short-lived in the U.S.A.
Nowadays, they seem to dig for each new outrage.
How much you wanna bet she/it found Obama and Big Mike to be “very modern in their thinking”?
You know it......
Lawrence Kansas is the land of fruits and nuts. Much akin to Boulder CO and Austin TX.
