University Gets Backhanded With Patriotic Justice After Trying To Ban American Flags According to recent reports, University of California, Irvines legislative council just passed a resolution banning the American flag from their lobby area. In an effort to be politically correct, the students are claiming that the flag triggers negative feelings among non-American students. The American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism, Matthew Guevara, a member of the Associated Students of the University of California wrote in his resolution. Flags not only serve as symbols of patriotism or weapons for nationalism, but also construct cultural mythologies and narratives that in turn charge nationalist sentiments. Fortunately, California GOP lawmakers are responding quickly to the event, and are working on an amendment to the California Constitution to cut public school funding to any school that bans the American flag. It makes sense: why should someone who opposes supporting the United States receive support from the government? What do you think of the incident? Are you sick of liberals demonizing patriotism and a love for our country?
