Their misinformation and setting aside of international students at Berry College was in poor taste. Their letter distracted readers from the real issue at hand. The question is not whether the opposition to the flag was appropriate.
Freedom of speech welcomes all criticism.
Rather, the question is whether the faculty should have so easily backed down and had the flag removed. As a U.S. service member, I have sworn to give my life for the freedom of our country. When I die, the flag will drape my coffin and that symbol will be a legacy passed on to my family. I would hope that our faculty members could stand behind this symbol. Christopher K.
