Here’s the obvious question. Would these students act the same way if an American flag was found burned?
The College Fix reports:
Cabrillo College holds vigil after burnt remains of LGBTQ pride flag foundThe burnt remains of a LGBTQ pride flag was found last Saturday by (an allegedly gay) student worker at California’s Cabrillo College, leading to a 50-person-strong vigil.The alleged hate crime is the second in as many months at the Aptos, California campus; last month, racist and antisemtitic graffiti was discovered on a campus bathroom wall. Cabrillo officials won’t reveal exactly what the graffiti said, however.Cabrillo President Matt Wetstein said the incident is “deeply upsetting” and his administration “take[s] this matter very seriously,” Good Times reports.“It is especially disturbing, because students love that flag, and several students came to El Patio specifically to take their photo with the flag,” Wetstein said.KSBW reports about 50 people showed up Monday for a (new) flag raising ceremony: a pride flag accompanying the traditional Stars and Stripes. The pride flag will remain hoisted for one month. In attendance was California’s first “openly” transgender office holder, Cabrillo Trustee Adam Spickler.“It definitely felt like a gut punch and the immediacy that it was students…It was LGBTQ students who came to campus and found the flag burned,” Spickler said.Spickler added Cabrillo will “increase events and opportunities to share positive representations of LGBTQ people” and “work to celebrate inclusion in classrooms and on the campus,” Lookout Santa Cruz reports.
