Well, it seems not all college students are liberal morons. A graduate student at LSU had announced he'd be burning an American flag today. When he showed up to the parade ground to do so, he was "welcomed" by a throng of students who stopped the event from occurring. The student, Benjamin Hass, was burning the flag to honor Isaac Eslava, another student, who stole a flag from the War Memorial and burned it, apparently in protest of the killing of Usama bin Laden. He was arrested for having stolen the flag.
I'm all for free speech and I'll defend the right of a person to burn the flag in protest, even though I find it disgusting. But sometimes, free speech is also about winning the argument. My LSU bretheren made me proud today.
