[James Otis]

"...Royce Singleton, chairman of the college's Sociology Department, asked Mrs. Post, a secretary in the department, to take it down.

"She refused.

"He took it down, folded it and placed the flag on her desk, she said.

...

Mr. Singleton acknowledged ... he had taken the flag down,...

"'There is nothing that I can say that will make anybody understand the social context in which this occurred,' he said."

What, ho! We have a chairman of a department of sociology who cannot explain the social context in which some event in which he was involved occurred? Sounds to me as if old Royce is an incompetent buffoon -- and being incompetent is one of the few reasons for which a college can fire a tenured faculty member. Are there any Holy Cross alumni or trustees here?

Any bets the jerk doesn't know how to properly fold the flag?
