By removing the display of 2,977 flags, not only did the five protestors disrespect their fellow students who worked hard on setting up the display, but they also took away the chance for other students to remember the victims of the horrific attacks 12 years ago.

These five student protestors should be immediately sent to diversity training regarding respect for others’ freedom of speech. What they did was neither noble nor righteous, it was irrational and disrespectful. Each of them should apologize for dismantling a beautiful display honoring American heroes.

The vandals were quick to reference their heritage, but in an email to the Huffington Post the school’s director of public affairs, Sarah Ray, admitted it has “never before been suggested that this is a Native American burial ground.” We have grown tactlessly familiar with leftists, such as Elizabeth Warren and Ward Churchill, hiding behind made-up Native American backgrounds to cover their own prejudice toward others.
