That's it. We've officially gone down the rabbit hole, if we live in a world where a federally-funded institution can get away with this. The president of this college should be fired.

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.

No respect and Total lack of a Grasp of reality...
