After the elections and Donald Trump's win, when half the country was mourning and the other half was celebrating, I did not participate in any of the heated arguments on social media. It seemed that everyone was talking in circles - people who once shrugged off Hillary Clinton's email scandal as an unimportant detail were now mired in the minutiae of Trump's legal battles, and people who said Trump should not accept the election results now said that Clinton should - and, frankly, I scrolled past the majority of it for more cat videos.
Do students love a flag aflame? At Hampshire College, in western Massachusetts, a student burned a flag to express opposition to the president-elect. At American University, in our nation's capital, flags were burned as students unleashed obscenity-laced chants against the United States.
Shortly before 7 a.m. on Tuesday, President-elect Donald Trump tweeted, "Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!" The only flag story in the news recently is the decision by Hampshire College in Massachusetts to stop flying the American flag after students allegedly burned a flag to protest Donald Trump's election victory. The Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that flag-burning is protected by the First Amendment.
