Recently several colleges have removed or banned the American flag from campus out of protest of several social issues and the recent presidential election. While freedom of speech should be defended, removing the American flag from colleges is blatantly disrespectful to the nation and the brave women and men who have fought for that very freedom. Colleges removing the American flag gives the young adults who attend the impression that if they do not like the current state of affairs in our nation then it's acceptable to disown your country. If colleges choose to remove our nation's flag then they should no longer receive federal funding, grants or tax breaks.
