University of Mississippi police officers removed the state flag from campus today in a morning ceremony after a campus-wide push from students, faculty and administrators called for the flag's removal due to its Confederate ties.
Ole Miss joins other Mississippi public universities, including Alcorn State, Jackson State and Mississippi Valley State, in choosing not to fly the state flag, which features a Confederate emblem in one corner.
Discussions to change Mississippi's flag have been ongoing for years and were revived last summer.
While many state legislators have spoken out in support of developing a new state flag without Confederate imagery, others, including Gov. Phil Bryant have indicated changing it is not a current priority.

If they don't like the state flag then I guess they can leave the state.
ReplyDeleteThat would be my vote.
ReplyDeleteThe state of Mississippi should cease funding said universities. The little coddled fragile bastards that go there need to understand how the real world works. These snowflakes never had their asses whipped as children
ReplyDeleteBingo!
DeleteThirty-three student senators voted in favor of the resolution, 15 opposed it, and one abstained. The other 23,000 students couldn't be trusted enough to vote the required way.
ReplyDeleteAs usual.
DeleteThe War on the Symbols of the Spirit of Rebellion Against Tyranny marches on.
ReplyDeleteThey knash their teeth on that which does not fight back, as they are but cowards.
They hate us, not only because of being the tyrants that they are, but because we make them, as well as all who have eyes to see, aware of their own cowardliness.
They are afraid of us, as well they should be; we are the most well-armed group of tyrant-undoers in world history.
