What about the AMERICAN students????????
The constitution of the United States of America states freedom of speach! It doesnot say freedom of speach unless it is offencive to a foreigner!! WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEACH!! PERIOD!!
I am ashamed of the university systems in the US.
If they are offended, they are free to go home!
Pitiful!
And who is paying for these students to study in the U.S.? A little respect please. They don’t have to say it – just listen carefully to what it is and what it stands for. They might learn something besides how to complain.
Then the international students should have stayed home! We are sick of these people objecting to the American way of life and they have no rights here! If I was close to this sign it would all of a sudden say something quite different or would vanish! I am an American born citizen and I get nothing for free!!
Disgusting! They should stay our of the United States if they do no like what our pledge or flag!
too bad this is our country and our culture if it offends anybody then go the hell back to where you came from!
