Hampshire College and the flag
According to The Hill, on the day after the election, the inmates running the asylum at Hampshire College decided to fly flags on campus at half staff “as an expression of grief over the violent deaths being suffered in this country and globally” as if those violent deaths didn’t happen until the moment that the Democrat candidate was defeated in an election.
For some reason, that decision became a ban against flying a US flag on the campus from the head inmate, Hampshire’s president, Jonathan Lash. He posted this statement on the college’s Facebook page;
So, it’s not really a ban, it’s a period in which the inmates can reflect on “racist, misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and behaviors”. Somehow an American flag flying over the campus during this navel-gazing isn’t productive.

Just when you thought that college campuses couldn’t get any more candyassed, pus-nutted, shit-for-brained,imbecilic and asinine in their pussification campaigns…
Yikes! Who thought THAT?!?
At what point do all these turds get flushed?
I’m sure that college campi all across the fruited plain are working on ways to be even more “candyassed, pus-nutted, shit for brained, imbecilic and asinine”, even as I type these words.
I have NO DOUBT about that nowadays. I wonder if they’ll soon have “American Flag-free Zones” next? Liberals, FUCK ‘EN one and all.
Until he got into the leftist list of butthurt, I thought that the violence he was referring to was that committed by the mobs of progressive Free Cheesers that were taking to the streets. Silly me. Well, that flag they have now retired is not personal property. The college–make that kollege–is a private institution but its students receive millions that go to the school from government loans. They ought to fly Old Glory if for no other reason than they would have folded yesterday w/o that taxpayer money. Phuk you, Hampshire Kollege, and the taxpayer-bought horse you rode in on.
“As a matter of principle, we will no longer accept taxpayer funds, directly or indirectly,” said Hampshire College never. Funny how that works.
I doubt “we” can withhd tjeir student loans but boy wouldn’t it be awesome if there were “unforeseen delays” in the processing / funds being sent. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall watching the handwringing and whining….not to mention the calls home to mommy and daddy. I am not too far away from that bastion of liberal underwear skidmarks….maybe I’ll go do an “Occupy A Commie ‘Tenured’ Professor’s Parking Spot”, video and post the apoplectic “privileged’s” response.
I feel oppressed. I will go and protest by taking a knee on the spot where the flagpole is mounted. Then I will camp out there and leave empty MREs and empty sterno cans and empty candy wrappers behind.
I think I would do the same, then dig a cat-hole, use it and leave it uncovered.
Well if they feel that way take away their Stafford loan/Pell Grant eligibility. Wouldn’t want to burden them by loaning them blood money. Same with any federal funding going to the college itself.
According to their website 91% are receiving financial aid. Free them from their torment.

I would recommend that we take away their campus. And their buildings. And their establishment. As a matter of fact, I think we should take away their citizenship, and the space they take up in our country. I am so goddam tired of these POS I could scream.
I’m sure they learned all this during their semester abroad programs in Iran, North Korea, Zimbabwe, and China.
They have some really useful courses that will prepare the students for……..something.

Yeah, they sure are useful. You can really make a living with a degree in ‘Constitutionally Queer Studies’.
Wow. I live about six miles from a 2-year state college that has arrangements with some REAL hard-assed universities to transfer credits to a 4-year program. This lets students get their degree requirements out of the way at a modest cost on a 12-month, 3-semester basis, so that they can focus on the major study area at the 4-year schools. When I say major schools, I mean U of I Circle Campus and Urbana, not some schlocky liberal arts college looking for funding they don’t deserve.
What is the world coming to if a 4-year school can’t offer a practical curriculum with its degree program? How do these twits expect to get into grad school? Or do they expect it?
Would you like a slice of cheesecake with that?
Sure would, especially if it has blueberries.
“How do these twits expect to get into grad school? Or do they expect it?”. Why, by quotas, of course. Or, they’ll just stand out front of the registrar’s office and hold their breath.
Looking through their course catalog, I didn’t see much offered that would lead a graduate to earn even a modest living after graduation.
Thanks for the list of courses, it only further explains the insanity. Looking at the list, there were few courses on Friday, and the professors names were mostly listed once.does that mean the facility works two days a week?
DAY-UM, talk about a reality-free diploma mill!!
I kind of want to take the ‘Psychosis, Poetry, Art’ class. Maybe it could give me a better understanding of why most modernist artists are drunks or drug addicts, but classical artists (working in the classical style) aren’t.
I mean, after all, Jackson Pollock isn’t so difficult to understand if you realize that he drank heavily between bouts of painting. It takes some real, serious skill to do organized painting drippings onto a 12-foot long canvas on the floor, especially when you’re short to begin with.
If I wasn’t on the opposite side of the country, me and some friends, family, and coworkers would be setting up as many flags as possible on that campus.
Pull all state and federal funding.
Let the snowflakes and their parents pay for it all.
Morons.
Cocksuckers.
The College President’s bio – screams SJW:
https://www.hampshire.edu/presidents-office/jonathan-lash
Another “Liberal Arts School”… probably all sorts of SJW classes and useless majors that are overpriced. And it’s not too far from UMass, home of “Internet famous” Trigglypuff! She probably is a “special advisor” on temper tantrums and SJW/FSH affairs for the school.
The classes aren’t graded and they don’t use GPAs. One has to wonder how they track satisfactory academic progress, which is a requirement for federal financial aid.
Some of the local Massholes aren’t real impressed, either.
http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2016/11/veterans_others_plan_gathering.html
AMHERST — A group of veterans and others unhappy that Hampshire College has stopped flying the American flag plan to gather Sunday to show support for the flag.
“According to a message from Chicopee veteran Delfo Barabani Jr., the idea is to have as many people as possible carry an American Flag near the Hampshire campus. The event will start at 1 p.m.”
I trust the special snowflakes will be in their safe spot with crayons, aroma therapy, and unicorns.
Don’t forget the play-doh and coloring books… SJW’s need that shit to get through the tough times (like when the cafeteria runs out of tofu Grape Nuts or non-GMO, fair trade tripleshot decaf soy lattes).
Good catch, Senior Chief! I forgot the play-doh, and now the special snowflakes are in a worlds of shit. They’ll need a safe place IN their safe space!
Would love to see the Patriot Guard Riders roll through campus flying Old Glory from their bikes…just to give the joint some diversity.
Better yet, Hell’s Angels could show up. That would make me happy.
I got nothing…..phucking sparkle ponies.
I see no reference to the VA. That’s good. No one receives VA funding.
Hmm. How long before someone starts up a reference for “real” colleges that issue worthwhile degrees, versus the SJW reeducation camps that are basically ripping off people to issue worthless degrees and debt-peonage.
Hmmm. Could we trick the Enemy into posting their preferred SJW champions College list? Then, simply use it as an inventory of garbage diploma-mill schools to ignore in hiring decisions.
Hmmmm…. That is…. appealingly devious….. Hmmmm.
OH, I like that idea.
Schools that give you real degrees that get you real jobs:
Schools that give you degrees that make you feel good about yourself but no jobs:
Schools that give you a safe space and a worthless degree and no job prospects:
Excellent!
“I see that you have a BA.”
“Yep. Just got it last June.”
“This is April. What have you been doing for the past 10 months?”
“Thinking. I think a lot. And resting. I try to get at least 10 hours of solid sleep a night and two naps during the day.”
“Well, thanks for coming in. By the way, what was your major at-at….”
“Hampshire. I went to Hampshire. There are no majors at Hampshire. They’re called building blocks. Mine were Queer Studies and Feminism.”
“Okay. Wow. Sounds great. Again. Thanks for coming in.”
Right. What was your
That’s true. The school cautions students to use any metaphor they want and admonishes students, “Just don’t call them majors.” The school prefers “building blocks.”
