Students at the University of Mississippi used a massive Mississippi state flag to show their support to their state in a protest against Chancellor Vitter’s decision to remove the state flag from campus due to demands from the leftists. The flags were late taken away by the police, and ‘Let the Band Play Dixie’ posters were also taken away. However, more and more students are speaking out, and the state flags and posters have been seen around the campus.
Key Takeaways:
- “The crowd cheered and shouted in appreciation and awe as the massive flag waved and was seen by thousands!”
- “University Police Officers were quoted by students as saying they were, ‘ordered to take all state flags and [‘Let the Band Play Dixie’] posters,’ that their orders came, ‘from the top,’ and that they would use their, ‘right to arrest,’ those who did not comply.”
- “Our friends at the “Our State Flag Foundation” report that while they have no clue who organized the giant flag unveiling, it has led to a HUGE spike in on-campus membership, which has been steadily growing in the weeks since they were admitted as an official student group and were allowed to set up a table at the Student Union.”
