At last, a college administration has taken action against flag desecration. Well, sort of. San Francisco State University filed charges against the College Republicans for desecrating
homemade replicas of Hamas and Hezbollah flags drawn on butcher paper. Unbeknownst to the group, both flags contain the word “Allah” in Arabic – prompting a student to file a complaint accusing the College Republicans of ‘walking on a banner with the word ‘Allah’ written in Arabic script.’
SFSU administrators decided to put the College Republicans on trial for ‘attempts to incite violence and create a hostile environment’ and ‘actions of incivility.’
The school has since dismissed the charges, but this has not stopped the CRs from filing suit against the university for infringing on their First Amendment rights.
