I wake to find some good news this morning – the university student government has elected to override the banning of the American Flag on the university.
Members of the executive cabinet of the Associated Students of UC Irvine met Saturday in an emergency session to reverse the flag ban.
“Our campus is patriotic and proud,” student government President Reza Zomorrodian told me. “We did something right for our campus.”
Zomorrodian, said he was furious that a handful of student legislators pushed through the ban.
“Our campus stands with the flag,” he said.

My original Story:
After serving our country for many years I find this report extremely disturbing.
The thought that our next generation seems to want nothing to do with what so many have paid a great sacrifice to achieve astounds me. They appear somewhat mis-guided and I wonder the new definition of ‘Patriotism’. Or is it just outright gone?
We now legalize ‘illegal aliens’ while legal immigrants have to wait in line in one of the most ‘immigrant tolerant’ nations to ever have existed. Now we seem to want to do away with the very symbols that allowed for the ‘inclusion’ they state they want to master in the first place. The very things they seem to oppose are the things that allow them to have the ‘inclusion’ they want which already exists!
By so doing, they risk loosing exactly what they state they desire!
Please join me as I enter prayer for our country and our youth.
