Two students at Bryn Mawr College tacked up a Confederate flag in their dormitory hall and taped a "Mason-Dixon line" across the floor - a move they said was merely a display of their Southern pride.
But that display sent the small Main Line women's college into an uproar, with cries of protest from the student NAACP group and others, who called the items symbols of white supremacy, slavery, and hate.
"I shouldn't have to walk past a Confederate flag on the way to my Black American Sociological Perspectives class, where we literally watch videos and learn about how that flag represents hatred and the lynching of people that look like me," said Bryn Mawr senior Allegra Tomassa Massaro, president of the NAACP, Tri-College Chapter. "That should not be part of my college experience."
The Bryn Mawr administration, through student leaders, asked the students to remove the items from the hall Sept. 12, the day they learned of it. But the controversy continued after the students then hung the flag in their room at Radnor dorm, visible from their window that looks out on the college center.
The college said the students removed the flag from campus several days later as pressure mounted, following a tense campus meeting.
"Our intention was never to cause the pain the community is currently suffering," Rachel Hager, a senior from Bellaire, Texas, and Vanessa Felso, a senior from Alpharetta, Ga., wrote to their hallmates Sept. 18.
"We apologize for hanging an object seen as a symbol of hate for many and for the subsequent divide and suffering of the Bryn Mawr community."
Hager and Felso, both on the college rowing team, did not respond to requests for comment.

FOOL!
Don't you know that's a democRAT flag?
LOL. Is that from the People of WM site?
If not, it MUST be entered!
I didn’t check, lol
Oh, how insufferably ignorant these students are.
These dolts get more wound up over the site of a damned flag than they do about a government that is purposely allowing deadly diseases into their country.
They literally watch videos ?
I hope they are getting a large discount on their tuition. I may be wrong here but it seems to me they could be watching videos without paying tuition.
The irony is so thick here you can cut it with a knife. Or maybe Jeb Stuart's saber....
Allegra needs to grow-the-f**k-up!
It's right next to the homophillia clause and just above the free stuff amendment.
perpetually offended prinesses
That’s right, or ‘Too black to fail entrance exam’...
So the president of a blatantly racist organisation (”NAACP”) complains about what she percieves as a racist symbol?
And yet, she would no doubt be offended if she were called a ‘Colored Person’
I really don’t understand these students today. They all want us to celebrate diversity and COEXIST and practice tolerance. Free speech this and that... But when it’s something that offends them it is the end of the world and heads must roll. I am so tired of this scam and fake freedom. You know how many times I am offended by something just driving to work? Imagine all the Che Guevara and Mao posters on every campus in America that conservatives are offended by. Womyns study groups, LBGT celebrations, Marxist professor, anti-Israel, anti-Christian, Darwin “fish” decals that mock Christianity, anti-American everything....but yet, no one complains from our side. We accept that on a campus there are weirdos and leftists and America-hating creeps. And all we ask is that we be left alone with our own opinions....no matter how offended you are.
All out to “change the world”. They have been told too long how important they are. So bitter, so young.
They hate that flag too.
