A Black Lives Matter flag on the University of Vermont campus is sparking controversy.

The Student Government Association put the flag on display Thursday but not everyone is happy, Fox44/ABC22 reported Friday.

The Black Lives Matter flag is flying next to the American flag and the Vermont state flag near the UVM student center.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

So, we know we can burn and stomp on a U.S. flag at the university with no repercussions. I wonder if the same holds true for this flag?

(Yeah, right - automatic expulsion, I'm sure.)

They can fly the flag all they want at UV.

There are almost no blacks in the state of Vermont.

Possibly the lowest number, vis-a-vis other demographics (whites, Hispanics) in the entire country.
