 Country artist refuses to 'bend the knee' when told to remove American flag from social media
 
FOX News
Country star Alexis Wilkins to music industry, the American flag is 'not partisan'

When country music artist and conservative commentator Alexis Wilkins refused to remove the American flag from her Instagram bio, she told Fox News Digital it became a moment that inspired her to embrace and speak out about her conservative values.

Wilkins said she wasn’t politically outspoken before college, but a classroom experience changed that.
 
"I was given an F in a class that I have only ever gotten A's in my life because of my politics," Wilkins shared.

Wilkins believed that receiving the failing grade was the professor’s way of signaling she wasn’t following a push to be indoctrinated.
 

"When he gave that to me just simply for not going along with the status quo, not writing the papers that denigrated the actions of the Trump administration that I was being asked to write as part of curricula, that was the point where I said, 'okay, it looks like me not saying that I'm a liberal means that I am a conservative' anyway, so I'm willing to draw a line in the sand and I think it's time in this country that we did," said Wilkins.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
