Just a few days ago Kim brought our attention to Hampshire College. It seems many of the students and faculty members needed the entire campus to be a safe space from the American Flag after Trump was elected.

So, let me get this straight. according to the college president, Jonathan Lash, it wasn’t really about the election. Lowering the flag to half staff was done in order to foster dialogue among those who have different ideas about what our Flag means, and also serve as an expression of grief over our US service members. Uh huh….right.

“There were a range of views on campus, including people whose experience growing up have made the flag a symbol of fear, which was strengthened by the toxic language during the campaign, and people for whom the flag is the symbol of all that’s best throughout the country,” said Lash.

But no, seriously, they’d like us to believe it really wasn’t about the election, it was about the military since a flag was ripped from the flagpole and burned to ash on Veterans Day, leading the school to make the cowardly decision to remove all flags from campus.
