Just wait til they demand the American flag be removed from all campuses. After all, slavery existed under that flag for a lot longer than it did under the Confederacy. I can assure you they want this to happen and will soon be demanding its removal as long as literally every other thing they demand gets immediately canceled. Don't say you weren't warned.

That is the "essence" of modern racism....looking for nodes in everything. Most of it is manufactured by the media anyway.

I love how they are all now learning to Google to see if they can find anything to be terrorized by.
