Apparently, hanging the American flag in your dorm room is considered an offensive political statement by some Harvard University students.
“My friend — who’s a freshman — on the first day of college took out an American flag from his suitcase, and his roommate stopped him, saying that the presence of the flag on the wall was a political statement that he was unwilling to make,” Harvard University student Rachel Huebner recently told Fox News.
You can’t make this stuff up, folks. Here’s video of the interview —

Here at The Horn News, we won’t apologize to these spoiled college kids.
God Bless, Old Glory!
TRUMP says
This is just one more nail in the American coffin. Keep voting Politicians into office that keep pushing the PC agenda. Hope your kids / grandchildren will enjoy the new world order. America will continue to becoming a third world country. Don’t blame me I’m voting for TRUMP to save us…….
Inez says
Hurray for you ( ME TOO ) If Trump Doesn’t get the nomination , my husband or me will not vote at all !!!
Cheryl says
We feel the exact way you and your husband feel. I am outraged at what is going on in the White house everyone should be. I read a article on twitter this morning that about stopped my heart. If Hilary Clinton doesn’t get into office between her and Obama they will make sure we American people suffer the consequences. So either we can vote for Trump or we don’t vote period.
Ron says
It would be the height of ignorance not to vote at all if your choice for president is not nominated. My wife and I will vote for who ever gets the Republican nomination, although we sincerely hope it will be Ted Cruz. Any vote against Hillary or Bernie is a positive vote.
Claire says
Ron,
Thanks for stating the obvious – to not vote is just what you said. Height of ignorance – that is why the jerks keep getting voted back in!! It is that very flag that protects those weirdo’s from any harassment so they should display it everywhere!! They are probably on a government USA grant available because of Americans taxes being paid. So don’t look at the flag if it is so offensive.
Confoundmeonce says
Not Voting Would Be The Heights OF Stupidity ! But Isn`t This exactly What Is Expected Of Ignorant Persons ? As for..The American Flag being .. termed” Trouble Provoking If Displayed IN ..Harvard ?? That Should At least Warrant Harvard Being Transplanted Far out in The Middle Of the Ocean…and let drown.
les says
ron you better do your homework…CRUZ IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR..BUSH CRIME FAMILY
Ben D. Over says
Do you really think that in a brokered election either Trump or Cruz will get the nod? Neither one is favored by the Party Elite. Why do you think Kasich has been lurking around?
Gina says
Vote anyway. Just write him in! That’s what I plan to do
Paul Merrey says
I would never ever vote for Trump. If he was the only one on the ticket I would write in Donald Duck. He would do a better job. As far as the American Flag is concerned, if you don’t accept it as a sign of this Great Nation then move the hell out of here. I fought for this Country and this Flag for 20 years in the US Army. I along with all my dear friends that died fighting for this same flag and it’s meaning. Again and yelling at you, IF YOU DON’T LIKE OUR FLAG AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR THEN MOVE THE HELL OUT OF THIS COUNTRY.
Jim D says
The problem as I see it is that these clueless kids have never had to stand up for anything constructive in their entire lives. If they were placed in a position of having to defend for their lives without mommy and daddy having their back they might have some different ideas of how a democracy really works.
Bring back the draft, so these fools can see how the real world works when they are sent to those areas that the freedoms we enjoy are absent from other peoples lives.
S strand says
Perfectly, Put.

Mr Trump served as an expert witness in front of Congress regarding “bad law” ; i.e.,the 1986 tax act. He has been considered an “expert” for 25 years.
To the best of my knowledge , no one else who has run for POTUS in my lifetime can make this claim.
Bottom line: he is teachable and can articulate what he has been taught after doing his own diagnostics, then advocate his case from the Bully Pulpit directly to the American people…or we can elect another professional politician or even worse another lawyer.
Find me anyone else who can make this claim. My favorite Donald Trump Quote : “I’m my own consultant” .
“Making America Great Again ” begins with finance, money & banking and economics.

Big TED says
I served my country in 2 nasty wars so those punks could enjoy their freedom. If they don’t like the American Flag and what it stands for then hit the road and get the hell out of the U.S.A.
Alan Schmidt says
THANKYOU Big TED for your sacrificial service to the America we LOVE and
helping DEFEND the FREEDOMS we often take for granted that cost us SO
much in personal/Family SACRIFICE, treasure, and BLOOD…
May GOD Bless YOU & YOUR Family and I hope you know
the One True God who is the Source of genuine Freedom and Eternal
Life.
Karla says
Thank You!!!!
Louie Dombroski says
Can you give one legitimate valid reason why you would not vote for Trump.
Charles Burke says
I am an Army Vet. of serving 20 years, with 3 tours of duty in Viet Nam. These young punks today have no idea of respect. If this flag offends you, then pack your bags and leave. I have a lot of friends who would be happy to provide you with a plane ride. Of course they can’t land in any country, but they would be very happy to fly over, open the door, throw your luggage out, the throw you out.
Stephanie Keys says
Mr. Trump is right. We’re all sheeples….just complaining, but going down the same road. Trump is offering the answers and the truth, he needs our votes….but watch how the establishment; the Party; and others remove any chance for him to be President unless we do a big “write-in” on Election Day. Otherwise, America is doomed…..completely and the establishment will laugh its way to the bank and the citizens be damned.
myworld2 says
Really ? oh well aren’t they ‘afraid of the word Trump? how about this , Students???

I am under the impression that the Saudi’s own Harvard.That’s how it’s so easy to have our History re-written & PC forced down our throats because they have been only allowing PC and brainwashing educational materials in our universities for the last 40-50 years.
Alan Schmidt says
I support Trump despite his flaws.
However, we MUST UNITE and Vote for WHOMEVER the GOP
Nominee is {EVEN IF — we don’t like him or her } … TO STOP The HILLARY DISASTER and PREVENT
a LIBERAL Supreme Court fro ruling over American values for a GENERATION.
Friends, Patriots and those who care about America —
We must NOT let emotion cloud REALITY – – –
Sitting home to protest and NOT VOTE – – – means YOU have actively taken part in helping Obama’s
disastrous policies continue …
REMEMBER Last Election? Republicans, Conservatives, & Christians who didn’t LIKE
Romney — sat home — did NOT Vote — & helped GUARANTEE Obama’s disastrous RE-ELECTION.
Remember, how that worked out?
If you believe continuing Obama’s “Transformation of America” is a GOOD thing – – – then just SIT HOME and do nothing… and you can proudly KNOW — YOU have taken part in Electing Hillary… who has said we have NOT gone FAR enough.
FRIENDS, sitting home and NOT VOTING means you have WASTED your chance TO STOP Obama’s & Hillary’s ultra liberal TRANSFORMATION of America.
PLEASE use your brains that God has given you
Dawg# says
Allen:
Amen, Amen And Amen. You have hit the nail on the head when you stated not to allow emotions to influence our logical decision. The Rebublican party is probably as low down as the Democrats, but it is closer to the Constitution then any party. We must vote for whoever is nominated, even though they may not be our choice for that very reason.
Arthur Hartsock says
Unfortunately, this attitude is becoming the norm at colleges all over our country. Ironically, we are supporting these colleges through our taxes, through tax supported loans and grants. At the very least we need to drastically lower our tax support of these colleges. Don’t support these colleges and professors with your tax money.
Anne Evans says
Got that right Art……
dawg# says
Mankind has always needed a reference point or perhaps a landmark if you prefer as an indicator during his travels to keep him on the right track or as a reminder of where he has been and where he is headed. That’s what our flag is! It is not a Government symbol and it is not a political symbol, but rather a symbol of the American people and of every accomplishment that we have made, every mistake we have made and every war we have won or lost. The Flag is an indicator of the solidarity and moral character of We The People! When I look at the American Flag, I do see the stars and stripes and I know the meaning of them to be Red as an indicator of the blood that has been shed to keep us a Free Nation and White as the purity of heart and faith in the One Holy God who is the standard we should use to keep us pure. And then there is Blue as the indicator of the royalty and integrity and dignity that we as individuals should strive for. Oh yes, I see all this, but there is so much more that I see when I look at my little Flag as it is moved by the gentle breeze and quietly echoes the voices from within every fiber; for you see, when I look at the Flag, I see the faces of every noble person that has played a part of making our Country the greatest Nation on Earth. When I look at the Flag, I can see your face woven within every fiber, but I cannot see my own face, though I do know that I am there; for that would be a mark of selfish pride and as the Bible says in Proverbs, God hates pride and pride goeth before a fall. My friends, have we come so far and sacrificed so much as to be swallowed up in pride as a Nation? We need to be offended and outraged at anyone who would come to eat at our table and then have them insult and mistreat the precious mother who prepared the meal? That would be absurd, would it not? Our Flag is the same thing folks. It is the only Unity that we have with each other so we had better DEMAND respect for it or else we will FALL as a Nation!
God Bless America!
God Bless Donald Trump!
Allison Lee Sears says
Dawg# What you said so beautifully is a big WOW. You have a great heart that cares with compassion.
You are a hero an a champion to America. We need more like you. THAT is exactly what could heal America.
Richard Crainium says
Well said! I Agree 100%!
Time to end the madness!
Trump 2016!
Main Street says
I live in Boston. Is Harvard the smartest school? Or is it a wealthy institution living off of 350 years of reputation? Isn’t Harvard itself an institution built on elitism and classism?
Main Street says
To be fair, Harvard has a program that makes it semi-affordable for working people to get a degree, However, the school has gotten more politically correct recently. Obama, younger Bush, Gore, Clinton went to Harvard. Poor performers to say the least. Boston College I think is almost as bad. They were started by the dollars of Irish, Italian and other Catholic immigrants. Today they exclude the working class and try to act as snobby as Harvard.
Allison Lee Sears says
Harvard and the flag: Think of this, all other countries in the world are saying What Are You Doing America? What’s wrong with you? No other country would ever give up it’s flag! Why are Americans harming their country and not standing up for America when people want to bring it down? No other country would give up it’s national anthem, flag, traditions ,celebrations, culture that makes them individual and fantastic. Our country is based on diversity and everyone getting along. Live and Let Live!
Let’s do just that: Live and Let Live. Stop the fighting. Stand up for our flag and all the different people with different backgrounds and cultures, creeds and the different races…..who fought FOR THE FLAG!
Dawg# says
God bless you Ms Allison. I am 66 years old today. Back in the ’60’s they were only spitting on us Veterans. Today they are spitting on the Citizen… what a huge fire a little flame kendles.
This old dog pound is broken hearted to see the demise of our great Nation. Donald Trump is our only hope, I fear. Trump loves America!
Alan says
This proves are most famous institutions are not being run by true Americans and true American values anymore. Political correctness is growing to the status of a religion now; because, the current administration wants to strip the nation of the Judeo-Christian values that shaped this country and made it great.
Mae says
If Trump doesn’t get enough electoral votes, you can still write in whomever you want to vote for in November!
RD says
It’s amazing to consider that Harvard produced the likes of the great Theodore Roosevelt, a real man, and today we get from that “fine” institution a bunch of panes who have no idea what the red white and blue actually stands for. I grew up in a neighborhood in Brooklyn chock full of WWII vets and Korean War vets. God bless those men who gave so much so that idiots could trample the flag that is the very cover of their freedoms. They will some day be in for the shock of their useless little lives if they don’t wake up and face the real world soon like our father’s and ancestors did. And oh yes Trump for President.
RD says
Panes should read panzies.
simms says
You pseudo as-holes have got to pool up some money, (not free from Bernie either) and get on a plane and leave us alone who love this country. Can’t you idiots see the rest of the world is laughing and realizing we are the weakest country in the world. We will kiss everyone’s ass except the Americans who love the United States. See what that election (obama) has done to this once great place to live and raise a family.
Louis Mayer says
Harvard should be declared to be an unacceptable political statement and invited to leave the American scene. There are many other creditable sources of higher learning that are not trying to be Avante Garde. How about a national poll?
Clinton Bashore says
I hope he hung it
Gene Kathol says
To Inez and any other that says “if Trump doesn’t get the nomination we won’t vote at all…”. The people that stayed home instead of voting for Romney gave us another 4 years of Obama. Doing this will give us Hillary as President, God Forbid!. Ted Cruz is a conservative who stood up to the entrenched RINOS and Republican establishment on several issues…He believes in the Constitution, unlike Hillary or Obama and is an accomplished and well-educated leader. I like that Trump is not a politician and does not follow PC rules, but a non-vote for the Republican nominee is a vote for Hillary. Please don’t do this to our country.
Joyce says
May God help us if Mr. Trump doesnt get elected as our President. The Hillsdale College teaches the US Constitution and follows it. Is there another like this one? .
Susan Ingram says
I am 80 years old and I get tired od people telling me that I’m crazy if I vote for Donald Trump. I tell them they are the crazy ones for not voting for Donald Trump. I am a female and I sure don’t want Hilary in there for sure….
sandy says
If you don’t like our flag and God go somewhere else to live. America is better without you.
Louie Dombroski says
Donald Trump is like breath of fresh air in this field of stale political opponents. The others are all windbags, Hillary Clinton should retire and enjoy the rest of her life with the money she has earned. Donald Trump does not need money and power he has it all already, that’s what people do not understand, career politicians spew hot air to get elected for the power and the money that is to follow.
Gary Davault says
I am a veteran i will fly my flag anytime an anywhere i want , if you tell me i can’t you can go to hell. I took an oath to serve an protect this great country. I think all young kids should serve in thw armed forces for at least 2 years then see what they say
Art says
A non vote helps put Hillary in the White House, just as non voters gave us Obama instead of that terrible Mormon, Romney. We got an Islam apologist instead of a righteous, God-fearing leader. And the stupid non voters did it twice. Vote for any Republican rather than any Democrat. I worry about the future of the Supreme Court if we manage to get another Democrat in the White House.
S strand says
How pathetic the first college in Colonial America, now has an idiot, as a student. If only he could be whisked back in time, where he could make his outrageous demand, and experience the reaction from those in charge. I’d love to see it.
Ralph McAteer says
#1 get out and vote. #2 we need someone who will stand up to our so called allies and tell them how it is . We need Trump in the white house to straighten out this country financially. We have military leaders who can lead our military and stop ISIS or anyone else. For the one who does not like our flag in his room send him to his favorite country and let him see how people are treated there. VOTE TRUMP
Laurie Kurs says
I am of the opinion that what this country does NOT need is another life long professional politician. I am not convinced any of the candidates are up to snuff on world issues…I wonder if these professional politicians could even find the lesser known countries on the map. I bet most of our professionals could not name or spell the names of the leaders of those countries, or the type of government that guides their government. How many of our professionals truly understand world finance….I am certain that all of them have modest understanding of ISIS, ME policy, an what actually drives the PA and terrorism. All of the professional politicians are concerned with PC……So, in my humble opinion – voting for Trump is voting against voting as usual…voting or professional politicians who owe favors and likely know as little as Trump. What is in Trump’s favor???
1) Does not owe anyone anything….. 2) is not a professional politician….3) knows as little as anyone else……4) is NOT PC!!!
5) is likely to appoint people who will give great guidance as opposed to appointing those who are merely OWED favors. 6) Will put patriotism back into our vernacular…… 7)Sad that it has come to this in America………………….

susan dix says
Donald Trump is the only candidate who wants to keep Americans safe!
There are no, I repeat NO, peaceful Muslims!!!!! Read their Koran and you will see the truth for yourselves.
They believe that it is ok to kill non Muslims and steal their stuff.
They say to make us trust them so they can lie in wait til we have our guard down.
Then they say to kill us is encouraged and to steal our possessions because they deserve them.
People had better arm up and be on the lookout for the invasion of America!!!!
Don’t take my word for it. Read this evil book for yourselves. Wake up and prepare for the worst.
God, (the real one) help us if Trump doesn’t get in as president!!!!
Dawg# says
We the unwilling.
Led by the unknowing
Are doing the impossible for the ungrateful
We have done so much, with so little, for so long
That we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.
United (via the Flag) we stand
Divided (against the Flag) we fall.
What does the American Flag represent? YOU!
Why do people love Donald Trump? Because Donald Trump loves America and thus our Flag! = YOU.
Anyone who disagrees with this has never had to put any skin in the game!
Carol Vyhonsky says
Since when did the American flag become a “political statement?” I am so glad my kids are not “smart” enough to get into Harvard!
