Tuition fees cover just a portion of the actual cost in public universities. Even private schools like Stanford are heavily subsidized by endowments.

Would you invite a white supremacist (not a relative) to your house?
I wouldn't.

The Confederate battle flag was indeed resurrected during the civil rights era as a protest against progress toward equal rights for African-Americans. It was during this period that Georgia and Mississippi re-designed their state flags to include the battle flag and that South Carolina raised it atop the State House dome. It was also during this period that the Confederate battle flag began appearing alongside the hakenkreuz at American Nazi Party rallies, as it still does today. And, of course, the Ku Klux Klan has always made, um, liberal use of it.

It is a symbol of hatred, violence, oppression and rebellion. Anyone who doesn't see this is being willfully ignorant.

I guess when that idiot Ancona started claiming the Klan is no longer racist, the rest of them thought they would jump on the bandwagon?

Sorry, but I'm not buying it. I've been on this earth long enough to have met so many people who love to have such symbolism as this around.......... Sometimes they put on a good act when they have to. But it's always just that; AN ACT.

Exactly what leads you to ask that question? Am I under suspicion of white supremicist sympathies or something?

And BTW, how did you feel when this illegal immigrant waved a Mexican flag while receiving her degree from UCSD?



As an undocumented immigrant walked across the stage to accept her diploma from the University Of California – San Diego, she proudly unfurled a large green, white and red Mexican flag.

Hint: Our tax dollars helped to educate her!

Trying to figure out what this has to do with the topic, I don't see an equivalency.

It was a comment on inappropriate use of flags and indirectly discrediting the Stars and Stripes.

Dunno if that was her intent. Mebbe more a comment in immigration policy vs worthiness for citizenship.
Dunno.

We're pretty much in that silly space where two sides each dislike the other because the other dislikes them.

I actually judge people by how they think about the Civil War. This is what I meant ...I would not have a person in my house who was not on the right side of the issue. After reading what Hillbillie wrote about the flag I would not hang with him. I would work with him if I had to, and perhaps help him change a flat tire but not be friends with him. I am not saying you are a white supremacist.
