This is disgraceful actions on the part of the college - but what do you expect from Mass college! This is another example of adults caving to cry babies; the American flag is as much a symbol of this nation as the Eagle is and should be respected.

Their is one big difference, you can legally destroy an american flag, but it is a crime to kill a Bald Eagle or even posses one of its feathers.
U.S. Code › Title 16 › Chapter 5A › Subchapter II › § 668
16 U.S. Code § 668 - Bald and golden eagles

Current through Pub. L. 114-38. (See Public Laws for the current Congress.)

This is what they are teaching the Youth and why there is so many in Problems with the Buttercups...
