You will never understand what it means to be a citizen of the United States and that is truly the saddest part to me.

What is the basis for your right to save the flag by any means possible, including by force?

I suggest you read the U.S. Constitution and study some history.

Why is Flag burning an important issue, you need only to ask a parent of a fallen Military member who has given the full measure of devotion to his or her country. You can also ask a Military Vet. or Retired Vet. the same question. It’s not about what you are free to do, it’s about what is right and what is wrong. Those that have not served or will never serve, just do not understand, that’s is the saddest part to me. Would you find is wrong if while you are exercising your free right to burn the flag, I exercised my right to save that flag by any means possible, including by force. I dought that you would. No you just plain would not ever understand, until or unless you have stood the Watch.

What is your point Gary? Do you do this in all your classes? Do you ask for substitute homewrk and ask for different tests? Do you want to study the Mexican constitution or Iran’s instead? That’s cool, maybe take a different class.

Do you think the big bad professor would get flustered by your question?

Please tell us your point.

Teacher Offers Extra Credit For Flag Burning

Last week I wrote about the University of Deleware and their multiculturist ‘treatment’ which classified all whites as racists. The University has quickly abandoned this program after Conservative bloggers picked up on the story, exposing …

Why is flag burning such an important issue? The U.S. Flag is a symbol of the freedoms that we won in the Revolutionary War against an oppressive government, having the ability to burn it supports and emphasizes this symbolism.

Burn an Islamic flag and get an A for the course and you are excused from attendance.
Did you ever take a course and know you were smarter than the prof?

“Flag Burning” for HomeWorK

Note this loser of a professor never suggested publicizing the Muuuuuuuuuhamad cartoons as freedom of expression.
NO NO NO. That would be â€œoffensiveâ€.

Since when do Profs think they have the right to plant ideas in peoples heads? Thats not what America is about. America is about Gerry Springer and Paris Hilton and doing what your told by whoever is in charge. And furthermore, what was this guy thinking when he alerted the students to the existence of the American Constitution? We have had 7 good years ignoring the constitution, why ruin things now? I bet Universities are already teaching vulnerable minds about science, geography and rule of law.
Disgusting!

Maybe, very maybe, he was encouraging students to say ” Yep, we can do that here, but anywhere else you get your head sawn off with a rusty knife.”

UofM likes to be contrary, and I applaud contrary, but I would like to see this guy try to do this with…say…a T-shirt with Che on it. You know, for balance and admiting that U.S. culture is just as valid and misunderstood as other cultures.

Never happen, but a guy can dream.
