it makes all kinds of sense that a college committed to pacifism would not fly the american flag or sing the national anthem. as i've said many times, and as adin ballou or leo tolstoy argued, pacifism entails anarchism. indeed, pacifism entails anarchism obviously, trivially, because as you know if you can disperse the cloud of hooha for a second, state authority rests entirely on violence. don't believe me? ok let the u.s. government disarm entirely and renounce violence. then let it try collecting taxes.
