Patriotism In Academia
In his book, Wise confesses a "longstanding fantasy" where he turns to a man with a "God Bless the USA" button and asks him, "why can't you just get over it?"
The California university system advised faculty not to call America "the land of opportunity," saying it could be an example of microaggression... The "land of opportunity" phrase is listed as being a part of the "myth of meritocracy" in the handout to faculty members. Those are described as “statements which assert that race or gender does not play a role in life successes.” 
The cold, hard reality is that American college and university campuses are hostile places to young people who cherish freedom. Some of the nation’s great institutions of higher learning are infested with left-wing professors, protected by tenure, who use their classrooms to spew their anti-American rhetoric. Where else are they going to find gainful employment? -Todd Starnes
At Duke University, feminists hired a “sex worker” (read: prostitute) to speak as part of an event called the Sex Workers Art Show. After his speech, the male prostitute pulled down his pants, got down on his knees, and inserted a burning sparkler into his rectum. While it burned, he sang a verse of “the Star Spangled Banner.” -Mike Adams

The University of Nevada, Reno is hosting an art exhibit featuring the American flag on the ground, impaled by an axe.
Located in the Jot Travis building on campus, the display features a description from the artist describing the work as falling “outside of the normal realm of any of my previous or planned work in that it carries a strong political message.” The artist says it “captures the symbolic notion of change through the objects presented.”
Campus Reform reported on Monday that the display features several axes on a wall in progressively lower angles, the final of which cuts through an American flag crumpled on the floor.

It’s been a week of flag-related controversy for Hampshire College, after the school’s Board of Trustees made the decision to lower the U.S. flag on campus to half-staff in the wake of the presidential election–and then decided to remove the flag entirely after a wave of backlash.
&bsp; On Veterans Day, someone removed the flag and burned it. “In the middle of the night, we have no idea who did it or even why,” said Lash. So that’s why they decided to take down the U.S. flag–and all flags–on campus.

“I’d like to appreciate everyone who has been removing the flags from the Main Green. As much as I know that these flags are there to represent Veterans Day, when I look at them, all I feel is overwhelming nausea, and all I see is a symbol of the oppressing white nationalism that has jeopardized myself and so many others at Brown and abroad.”

A Suffolk University School of Law adjunct professor who expressed “disgust” over the school’s handling of a fellow faculty member’s military-bashing email two weeks ago shot back yesterday with a letter of resignation submitted to the dean from his military post in Kabul, Afghanistan. U.S. Army Reserves Major Robert J. Roughsedge, who spent eight years as an adjunct Suffolk Law professor, resigned in a letter to Dean Camille Nelson over Suffolk Law Professor Michael Avery’s five-paragraph email to colleagues stating that it was “shameful” for students at the school to send care packages to soldiers who “have gone overseas to kill other human beings.”
