The students of UC Irvine voted to remove all flags from the campus due to their "offensive nature". The bill, R50-70, by Matthew Guevara, explains how all flags are symbols of patriotism and weapons of nationalism, singling out the American flag. A quote from the bill reads that "Flags construct paradigms of conformity and sets homogenized standards for others to obtain which in this country typically are idolized as freedom, equality, and democracy".
