Misplaced outrage
Some conservatives are getting weeweed up because Amherst has removed American flags from its campus.
Dangerously misplaced weewee.
Putting up a symbolic piece of cloth is a form of expression. If a campus wants to exhibit a piece of cloth, fine. If not, fine. The administration is just engaging in ordinary expression.
MOST IMPORTANT: The real problem on campuses is not the symbols expressed by the administration. The real and DEADLY problem is that the administration is PUNISHING students and faculty for engaging in normal expression.
Which hurts you more? (1) Not seeing a piece of cloth (2) Being fired or expelled for not saying the Correct Gender Pronoun
If you are seriously "pained" by seeing or not seeing a piece of cloth, you are EXACTLY THE SAME as the safe-spacers who are "pained" by seeing the word Trump or by not seeing the correct selection of 753 "gender" pronouns. You are in no position to argue against them.

Later: My advice could be abbreviated as follows: If you don't see something, don't say something.
