On Veterans Day, the American flag was pulled down from its place of honor and burned at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. College president, Jonathan Lash, has so far refused to reinstate the flag or discipline the students who desecrated Old Glory.

Catering to radical leftist students, president Lash attempted to explain why the American Flag is not allowed to fly on campus anymore: “We hope this will enable us in the near term to instead focus our efforts on addressing racist, misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and behaviors.”

A thousand veterans and patriotic Americans reacted by organizing a local protest at the college on Nov. 27, calling for the flag to be reinstated to its rightful place of honor.

Every American is invited to contact Hampshire College with a simple message: "Put the American Flag Back Up!"
