Traumatized Univ Students Offered Counseling After Seeing Confederate Flag

According to reports, students filed two “bias reports” within the past month as a result of a student displaying the flag in some manner. This is the third incident in the past two months, where students have filed “bias reports” over somebody displaying the flag. The FSU Bias Protocol and Response Team have been made aware of the incident and are figuring out the best way to respond.

Now, before you read further, feel free to laugh at the fact that they have something called a Bias Protocol and Response Team. Only in modern America would you find an entire task force dedicated to ensuring people don’t get offended.

“Many see the Confederate flag as an inflammatory symbol of oppression and constant reminder of a dark period in the history of the United States in which slavery was a legal,” Huddleston continued, while “Others may simply view this flag as a symbol of shared southern heritage and in memory of the Civil War.”

Huddleston said the flag and other symbols “are not condoned by Framingham State University, as they violate the core values of our institution and not considered consistent with our desire to maintain a safe, respectful and welcoming campus community for all.”

He further described “bias incidents” as “situations that may not rise to the level of a criminal act, but still clearly communicate offensive or derogatory behaviors.”

Observing that students on campus in general may have suffered a traumatic reaction from seeing an image of the Confederate flag, Huddleston continued, “We recognize that bias incidents are upsetting for the entire campus community, but especially for the target(s) and witness(es) of these incidents.”

“It is strongly suggested that anyone impacted by a bias incident find someone to speak with,” he wrote.

According to FSU campus newspaper The Gatepost, social-media displayed a mixed reaction to Huddleston’s email:

On the popular anonymous social media app Yik Yak, one student said the Confederate flag controversy was “legitimately embarrassing” and “someone is getting in trouble for such stupid bullshit.”

Another student disagreed and compared the Confederate flag to the swastika. Adding, “That’s the issue. In case you were somehow still confused in 2015.”

One anonymous student posted, “Carry a copy of the constitution tomorrow, see how fast the PC police emails fly.”

One student related the bias incident involving the Confederate flag to the Star Wars films.

“So if I have a Rebel Alliance wallpaper, am I gonna get reported to the Empire?”

If these liberal activist cry babies weren’t so ignorant of the flag’s meaning, they would know that the Confederate flag never symbolized slavery. Due to the mechanization of farm labor, slavery would have become obsolete within the following year of the Civil War just because it wasn’t economic. There’s also the fact that less than four percent of Southerners owned slaves. That’s a mighty low number for an entire half of the country to go to war over. What history books don’t tell you is that the North raped, pillaged and plunged their way across the South at the bidding of Abraham Lincoln. However, that doesn’t fit the liberal narrative that they brainwash children with in schools all over the country. In the case of FSU, the pendulum of offensive behavior swings both ways. If you want to be recognized for “diversity and inclusion” doesn’t that include welcoming people that support the Confederate Flag and know the truth about it?
