Dozens of House Republicans have introduced legislation that would prevent federal funds from being used to fund schools and colleges that ban the American flag.

The bill was introduced the same week that Hampshire College in Massachusetts decided to remove the American flag from the campus.

Initially, the college lowered the flag to protest President-elect Trump’s election victory, and student protesters burned the flag the next day. The flag was removed entirely as a form of further protest, and eventually raised again Dec. 2.

Not sure this can happen but it's a good idea.

Losing federal funds can make a lot of school administrators look deep into their hearts and realize that the American flag is a meaningful symbol and can be displayed with pride.

I may want them to ban the American flag if that's what it takes to cut federal funding.
