California Student Government Leader: American Flag Represents Hate Speech

This could almost be funny in a dark comedy, satirical sense if it weren’t so sad and real[1]. There is an “university” (yes, the scare quotes are intentional) in California where the student government considers the American Flag to be “hate speech.”

“[The American flag] made people feel very uncomfortable and unsafe in that room,” Guevara said.

Guevara’s resolution passed by a 6-to-4 vote back in March. In the interview, he explained what prompted him to promote such a resolution.

“It was creating a very hostile environment just because of this flag being in the room,” he continued. “It doesn’t make people feel welcome at all to where people wouldn’t go in the space anymore because it was on the wall.”

He went on to say, “It’s a tool to silence people,” and compare it to the Nazi and ISIS flag. Folks, this is college.
