How progressive.
Via The College Fix:
Wesleyan University students honored America’s veterans Friday by defacing the American flag rather than burning it.
It’s at least the third school this week where students upset over the election of Republican Donald Trump have taken out their frustration on the flag, joining American University and Hampshire College.
A Trump supporter at Wesleyan who was harassed by protesters told The College Fix that she defended their right to deface the flag on Veterans Day, but said it would set back their anti-Trump cause.
Defacement shows ‘the prominence of white supremacy’
As Wesleyan protesters marched from one side of the campus to another on Friday, Yael Horowitz and Abby Cunniff stopped to make a visual protest, The Wesleyan Argus reported.
One held up a large American flag, while the other pulled out a can of spray paint and sprayed “AmeriKKKa” on it.
Cuniff told the Argus they sprayed that message on the flag to “symbolize the prominence of white supremacy in the United States” represented by Trump’s victory.
