Ridiculous
"We've reached the point where the American flag can't fly in dormitory dining halls at Arizona State because it's "insensitive to the international students" who live in the dorm,"
OK, had to put in my 2 cents here...
I am, or rather was, one of those international students in the US, though not at ASU, and this is totally ridiculous!
I never saw an American flag as an insult but rather as a symbol and a reminder of where I was and how much I liked it.
Neither America nor my own country (Holland) is perfect but I still have a fantastic time every time I cross the Atlantic, on business, or to visit friends.
I am all for hospitality (of which I experienced a lot while being in the US) but unfortunately some people simply push it too far.
And for the record: I bought an American flag and it is still on display in my house to show my support for my 'second home', especially since Sept. 11!
