Dear editor,
I was told there will be an ASB vote soon to remove the Mississippi flag from the campus of Ole Miss!
This is absolutely wrong and should not be allowed to happen! The current UM ASB needs to do the right thing.
Ole Miss represents Mississippi as its flagship institution of higher learning in the state; thus, it should fly the current state flag, not to mention being totally funded by the taxpayers of that state. If Mississippi decides to change the current flag, then Ole Miss will and should fly the new flag. This is total ignorance and insanity!
Keep the flag of the state you represent flying at the central flagship state institution of higher knowledge. ASB, please do not get yourself involved in blatant political agendas while further dividing people, especially at our beloved Ole Miss. Teach and educate, learn from history and again do the right thing and do not further divide Ole Miss, please.
Thank you,
Jonathan Maki
