A group of Ohio college students who wanted to hang U.S. flags on a school building were told they couldn’t because the flags might hurt the feelings of anti-war folks, reports the Ohio News Network.

Melissa Paxton, a student at Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio, wanted to show support for the troops. "I was raised to be a firm believer in my country and you know, support what’s going on," she said.

But Vice President of the Administration Ransom Clark feared the flags could cause problems. "I was afraid that a major display of American flags would represent a signal if done by the college to those people who are opposing the war that we're coming down against them," he said.

The students say they will hang flags outside of their homes instead.

whats with these idiots, don't want to hurt the antis feeling, so the pro people don't have feelings??? what if all the pro's carried flags around campus, to classes etc. what would the admin say to that???

when the OHIO NAVY invades us again, maybe we'll have roadblocks set up on the approaches to town. inspection for flag displays and bumper stickers. non-compliant boaters will be turned away, the compliant will have free pass to the lake!!!
