College Student Told to Remove American Flag from Balcony, it “Could Offend Foreign Students”

In Mexico, you fly the Mexican flag, in France you fly the French flag, so why have people recently come under attack for flying the American flag… in America? The latest case of this patriotic back-hand is a San Diego University sophomore being told to remove the American flag from his balcony, because it might offend some of the foreign students living in the same apartment complex.

Brad Smith, who had just moved into the Boulevard 63 apartment complex in San Diego last month, told ABC 10 News that he received a written notice to remove the flag a few days ago.

“We were then told that it was for political reasons and that the flag could offend foreign people that live here, foreign exchange students,” Smith said. “I’ve had friends and family fight to defend that flag.”

While Smith’s lease agreement with the apartment’s management does have a clause that says “no signs or other personal propertymay be kept outside the premises,” attorney Christian Curry told ABC. that the clause comes close to infringing on First Amendment rights.

  3. Here, again, we have a minority overruling the majority. Really America..? Why in the hell does a minority rule in some instances while the majority rules in others? For example, Ocean City recently passed an ordinance banning smoking on the beach and boardwalk because a majority wanted that, 80% to 20% I believe. Meanwhile a student wants to display our colors and some minority "may" be offended by it so that student is reprimanded for it. For crying out loud folks this is runaway idiocy and leftist extremism.

  4. If you want to come here and live the "better" life then try to change us to what you left behind. You don't like us hanging "OUR" flag then take your A** back home and leave us alone to enjoy what our men and women have given their time and sometime their lives so we can proudly show how we feel about our flag. Join us or leave us. I for one will not miss you.map

  5. This country is not the same country as when I was born.

    It is gone.

    I say change the flag. Make it pink with a tinge of yellow around the borders.

    Oh that's right. The military flag already is!

  6. Back in the day most foreigners would've been proud to wave our flag when here. Now they just take advantage of this great country but crap on our flag.
