I'm putting aside money for my three-year-old's college education, but I'll be damned if one penny will go to any school that does not teach American History in a positive light, or that refuses to fly the US flag.

I'm pretty sure that college will be obsolete anyway by the time she is ready, and this kind of nonsense is only one more nail in the coffin of a 19th century college system that makes increasinly less and less financial sense.

Sodexho Marriott, which runs the dinning hall, also released an apology, but stated they had reason to remove the flag because it was "insensitive to all the international students that live in the dorm."

Somehow, they made it through Immigration without geting offended.

Bump.

[GeekDejure]

I'm sorry . . . but I just don't understand how this sort of behavior can occur right here . . . on our own soil !!! To my way of thinking this smacks of TYRANY !!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

...they had reason to remove the flag because it was "insensitive to all the international students that live in the dorm."

How senstitive is it for foreigners to expect their host country to forfiet its identity?

I am very proud of our nation's College Republicans. I am a former Chairman of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette College Republicans.

Notice that of all the colleges that banned patriotic displays, none were opposed by College DemocRATS.

The people running these campuses need to be offended. Lest you have any doubt how your thousands of dollars are being wasted, I attended a Catholic University 25 years ago. I had an Iranian poli sci prof who hated the U.S. When I repeated standard U.S. government defense policies, he told me "only a redneck from the Southern U.S. holds such reactionary views" (I am from NJ). Also, the feminist professors were pressuring the female students to become lesbians,to prove they didn't need men for anything. I mean pressuring to the point of tears. These lefty loonies are still there in force and need to be cleaned out.

I'm putting aside money for my three-year-old's college By the time your three-year-old goes to college, I hope we'll take back the academe.

[Khepera]

Don't fly the flag and Don't accept government money. It should be mandatory to fly the flag when you receive government money. Its my money damn it!!!

One of our local colleges took down the international flags that represented the countries of origin for the international students that attended there and replaced them all with American flags. I thought it was cool.

Ah yes, Marquette University, where the politically correct flapping turkey (or whatever their mascot is now) makes it's home where the proud Warriors once stood. Marquette, where a democrat multiple voter gets extra credit in civics classes. Marquette, where the only good conservative is a dead conservative. Marquette, where historically significant buildings are bulldozed in the middle of the night to make way for new student unions (where democrat multiple voters can organize the next election fraud). And now they ban the flag. Somehow I'm not surprised.

I swear that my children will never pass the place without cursing it as an example of everything that's wrong in this country.

God Save America (Please)

Worth saying twice.

[DKNY]

Paging Lee Iacocca and Dan Quayle... Lehigh University needs to hear from you.

[Moleman]

Somehow, they made it through Immigration without geting offended.
Worth saying a third time.
The last ten years can be considdered the decade of the offended, grow a skin or get the hell out of the country.

"...stated they had reason to remove the flag because it was 'insensitive to all the international students...'"

"...it would create an 'exclusionary environment and nullify campus claims of diversity.'"

"[The administration] felt that it showed too much nationalism or patriotism in respect to foreign students,"

Residence hall directors in Emmons Hall told students they had till the end of the day to remove patriotic symbols which some considered "offensive"

You know what? To hell with the easily offended. International students should go home if they don't like it. FLY OLD GLORY!

[Huck]

These lunatics running the schools are so out there. Wow.

[bogeybob]

Add Bates College to the list. They are way out there.
