U Cal Irvine raises the bar on self-beclowning

It bans the American flag (apparently even from private display).

And the student resolution doing so demonstrates how literacy and clear thinking are no longer requirements for getting into that college: "[F]lags construct paradigms of conformity and sets homogenized standards for others to obtain which in this country typically are idolized as freedom, equality, and democracy." Apart from noun-verb disagreement, this is brain mush.

I'd like to extend on Iowahawk's comment to that article: cut the university off from direct fund transfers, and send all student loan and federal grant money in with tiny flags printed on the check. Somehow I suspect they'd speedily overcome their aversity to flags.
