Sort of, depending on what you mean.

It was a joke but to be fair I have no use for globalists. I am an American, not a member of the global community the UN dreams of creating.

An American Flag in your classroom is nothing to fear. Judicial tyranny is something to fear.

I attended UCF on the GI Bill. My philosophy professor hated veterans. This is 1979 or so when I took his class. Needless to say we didn't hit it off but he was a vengeful leftist and because I wouldn't back down he penalized me in my final grade. No sweat, still proud of that D. :-}

The point is that he offended me but I have no Constitutional right not to be offended. Such is life.

The flag represents the Republic. Those who are offended by it should also be offended by the dollars that Republic supplies for their education, no?

We had better be globalists of some sort or we are in big trouble! How much drinkable water is left on the earth? How much clean air? How many people can the earth sustain? The earth is limited and its parts are interconnected. You can say "let other countries worry about their problems." But there are global problems. If you don't like the way the UN is addressing them, fine. But there's no way you can ignore global problems much longer.

Professors have no right to grade based on their dislike of a person's politics. There is a grievance procedure in place for dealing with events of that sort.

I get offended every day, but I don't go around with a chip on my shoulder and I don't whine. I am making a stand about flags at UCF because UCF is a huge part of my life and I care deeply about what I do, and I think flags are messing up what I do.

I don't tell you how to run your business. Don't tell me how to run mine.
