Campus loons remove American flag because it's 'nationalist'

We knew it was coming.

One by one the icons of Western culture are being displaced.

In recent years we witnessed the stigmatizing of the Confederate as 'racist.' It would be a matter of time before the American flag would face a similar fate.

The Associated Students of University of California, Irvine (ASUCI) has voted to remove the American flag from "an inclusive space on campus;"

That "space" is the main lobby.

Once the American flag is stigmatized as being "nationalist," it's a matter of time before it is removed from other "spaces" because it offends.

There is no consideration for those who are offended by the absence of the flag.

We also learned this week that Obama may be considering replacing Thanksgiving Day with "Immigrants Day." 
From Campus Reform we read:

The Associated Students of University of California, Irvine (ASUCI) voted Tuesday to remove all flags, including American flags, from an inclusive space on campus because of their offensive nature.

The bill, R50-70, was authored by Social Ecology Representative Matthew Guevara, and accuses all flags, especially, the American flag, of being “symbols of patriotism or weapons for nationalism.”

“[F]lags construct paradigms of conformity and sets [sic] homogenized standards for others to obtain which in this country typically are idolized as freedom, equality, and democracy,” the bill reads.

The legislation argues that flags may be interpreted differently; the American flag, for example, can represent “American exceptionalism and superiority,” as well as oppression.

“[T]he American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism,” the bill continues, arguing that “symbolism has negative and positive aspects that are interpreted differently by individuals.”
