Amid massive protests in Hong Kong calling for independence from communist China, protesters have been flying American flags to represent the virtues of freedom and democracy.
However, as previously reported by Campus Reform, American students and universities have expressed opposition to the stars and stripes, calling it an “offensive” symbol. Students have also protested the Pledge of Allegiance through various boycotts; one Minnesota town even banned it. Colorado State University even linked to an inclusive language guide that warned against the use of the words “America” and “American.”
