In response to the UCI U.S. flag banning incident that has garnered national attention, I implore the U.S. government to draft and sign into law regulation declaring it illegal for Federal and State funded learning institutions (e.g.- schools, junior colleges, and universities) to ban or remove the U.S. flag from their campuses and common areas, as well as a set of penalties for non-compliance. Penalties should include official reprimands from both the State and Federal government, monetary fines, and withdrawing or cessation of both Federal and State funding.
