In direct answer to your questions:

Is it to much to ask to have the flag of the USA displayed in a STATE university where undoubtedly students have secured GOVERMENT loans or received GOVERMENT grants in order to attend?

NO - THERE ALREADY IS A U.S. FLAG DISPLAYED PROMINENTLY AT THE UNIVERSITY IN FRONT OF MILLICAN HALL. NOBODY OBJECTS TO IT. WE DO OBJECT TO PERMANENTLY DISPLAYED FLAGS IN THE CLASSROOM.

My whole point was that the students portrayed displaying the flag as an acknowledgedment/hatred of G.W.B. and the war efforts.

AND AT A CAMPUS WHERE CRITICAL THINKING IS VALUED (AT LEAST IN PRINCIPLE) CRITICISM OF WARS AND LEADERS SHOULD BE ACCEPTED AS HEALTHY AND NORMAL.

These flags were eventually GIVEN to them (probably out of spite) by conserative thinking groups of people.

"OUT OF SPITE" IS EXACTLY RIGHT. THIS FLAG ISSUE IS NOT ABOUT RESPECT FOR AMERICA -- IT IS ABOUT DISRESPECT FOR DISSENT AND CRITICAL THINKING.

If they refuse to display them then the public has a right to disregard them and everything the college stands for.

YOU HAVE REVEALED THE PRECISE REASON WHY I DETEST THIS FLAG PROPOSAL SO MUCH -- IT IS AN EXCUSE FOR A WITCH-HUNT.

I already think I know the mindset of liberal college students, but isn't it fun to confront them?

ISN'T IT WONDERFUL TO HAVE SUCH INCREDIBLE POWERS TO KNOW OTHERS' MINDSETS? MAYBE YOU COULD JUST SIT IN YOUR ROOM ALL DAY IMAGINING THE MINDSETS OF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD AND ASSURING OURSELF THAT YOU ARE CERTAINLY RIGHT ABOUT ALL OF "THEM."

AS FOR YOUR SENSE OF "FUN" CONFRONTING "THEM," I SUPPOSE THAT ANY THUG THINKS IT'S FUN TO THROW ROCKS AT THINGS HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.
