Pick your battles? How about not falling for ridiculous stories blown out of proportion??
The students at UCI didnt vote to BAN the American flag from campus as most RIGHT WING sources continue to say, but rather, VOTED to remove
ALL FLAGS from a campus study lobby.
The lobby area is a room for inclusiveness. A room for all students which also consists of many FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENTS whose flags are not flown in that lobby.
The American flag continues to fly all across the campus as normal. This particular room is NOT the campus, and the VOTE was NOT about the American Flag as reported by every right wing wacko site in this country.
Of course, FOX news jumps in and blows it out of proportion as well and every right wing nut buys it without checking it out for themselves.
Look at the title of the link OUT posted..
"Professors: US flag symbolizes racism, should not be displayed on campus"
Thats not what they said of course, its sort of what they said, but not in this context about the campus.
The issue is restricted to the campus lobby and the campus lobby ONLY.
Any exaggeration outside of the lobby is just more right wing foolery.
And of course, because right wing nuts dont know how to research anything for themselves, and they simply repeat and accept what they are told, right wing nuts simply take matters into their own hands and start making threats to the school, the student body and administrators.
