Students Push to Ban American Flags

#2

Drifter, come on man... at least post the original article for us to mock.  This comes from the LA Times regarding the story referenced in your blog post.

 

Here is the first gem from the article.

 

Quote: 

On March 5, by a vote of 6 to 4, the take-it-down forces prevailed. The student government's Legislative Council passed a resolution banning the display of any flags in the lounge. The two students who wrote the resolution, Matthew Guevara and Khaalidah Sidney, used stilted, easy-to-mock academic jargon to explain why flags don't belong in the cozy space.

 
Flags, they wrote, "construct paradigms of conformity." The Stars and Stripes "has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism." The lounge is supposed to be "culturally inclusive" and while hanging the flag might be seen as free speech, "freedom of speech in a space that aims to be as inclusive as possible can be interpreted as hate speech."
 

Mind you, this is what our kids in college are taught from a very young age.  You would almost think that these kids don't value or appreciate how this country was founded, and/or the Constitution that gives the very right for their freedom of speech (and also protects against their suppression of it).  But it gets even better.

 

Quote: 

"I started researching these kids," said Judi Neal, a conservative Republican from San Dimas. "The six who voted for this are all part of a social justice leadership organization." (I asked her if she was opposed to social justice, and her friend chimed in, "It depends who it's for!")
 

So social justice is only right "depending on who it's for".




There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
