Hampshire College raised its American flag early Friday morning, finally capitulating to community outrage two weeks after its controversial decision to remove the banner from campus.

Hampshire President Jonathan Lash insisted that the flag's removal was not intended as a political statement, nor did the school mean to offend veterans, but merely wanted to "dismantle the bigotry" in our society.

I would never be so bold as to suggest some "chats" with wealthy alumni and wealthy parents may have helped the president see things differently.

I'll bet that devastating interview with the rich snowflake on Tucker Carlsons program had a lot to do with this turn around.

Since the flag is the symbol representing our nation, disavowing it means a blanket disavowing every aspect of it, our institutions, laws, Constitution, and founding principles, without any debate or argument. How do you disavow the very thing that provides the foundation for you to live in your current state of existence, with the freedoms you enjoy?

With that thought then, who exactly are the bigots here?

I will assure you the people at Hampshire College don't see themselves as bigots!  They see themselves as proud Americans standing up to all the evils of the world.  Of course there are more evils than people so they have a real problem.
