In a push for what has been described as cultural inclusion, the student government at UC Irvine has voted to ban the display of all flags -- including the American flag -- in an area of the campus.

Written by student Matthew Guevara of the School of Social Ecology, the resolution states: "The American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism" and notes that flags "construct paradigms of conformity and sets homogenized standards."

The resolution goes on to say that "freedom of speech, in a space that aims to be as inclusive as possible, can be interpreted as hate speech."

The resolution passed on a 6-4 vote by the student legislative council, with two abstentions.

But it is UC Irvine. What were you expecting?

all flags are cloth symbols. Only that.
And all flags were removed not just the American flag.
