Amherst, Mass. (WWLP) – At least one thousand veterans gathered in Amherst this afternoon to protest the removal of the American flag at Hampshire College. 22news spoke to protesters about why they strongly disagreed with the college’s decision.
Freedom is not free. That’s the lesson that hundreds of veterans, their families and friends and other local residents hoped to teach students at Hampshire College Sunday afternoon.
Jerry Maguire, Veteran said, “They took down my flag, they have a right to that, I’m here to defend their right to do that but I want them to understand how bad that hurts me.” more
Here’s the college presidents reply:
” “After the election campaign and the degree of racism, sexism, and islamophobia that played out in that campaign, feelings were just exacerbated.” He told 22News the flag had to be removed because it was making it impossible for students to have a direct discussion.”
Let’s cut off all Federal funding and see if he’s really that Butt Hurt.
They should yank that little commie POS college president out and beat the livin’ shit out of him/her/whatever.
Removing our flag. Now THAT’S going to solve everything!
Idiots.
Vets should go to the flagpole, raise a U.S.flag and have a squad guard it 24/7.
All of the helpless anger monkey snowflakes should be gathered together and melted with a bucket of warm water.
It is about damn time conservatives say they have had enough. We need more of this and som sense slapped into folks too.
No Flag. Fine. No federal tax dollars. Fly your own damn flag.
J and Tony are spot-on. What they also need to do is instigate a campaign amongst the school’s alumni to halt alumni donations. Between that and the Fed tax dollars, the assholes in the admin will cave like a badly dug tunnel. Would be fun to watch!! ;^)
