The memorial consists of an American flag for each person.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, this has been done without issue. Since this is 2020, and we now know that 9\/11 was just when &#8220;some people did something&#8221; and expressions of American patriotism and pride are white supremacist dog whistles, Baylor Student Activities placed a sign warning that the display (which is, once again, made solely of American flags, a symbol known around the world for freedom and liberty) contained &#8220;sensitive content.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Displaying the American Flag to memorialize those who tragically perished in the 9\/11 attacks is now considered \u201cSensitive Content\u201d.

Most of us here have served under that star spangled banner. Many here have bled for what that flag represents.

This should be a day of remembrance for those lives lost, for the lives lost since then in avenging the act, and for how the event changed every single one of us in some way. Instead, we&#8217;re now led to believe that the simple act of posting a flag as a remembrance is somehow &#8220;sensitive.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Young Conservatives of Texas at Baylor University have carried on an annual tradition to remember &hellip; <a title=\"Baylor University posts trigger warning signs at 9\/11 memorial consisting of American flags\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=104931\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Baylor University posts trigger warning signs at 9\/11 memorial consisting of American flags<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[209,220,236,271],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-104931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teh-stoopid","category-the-floggings-will-continue-until-morale-improves","category-wtf","category-ygbsm"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=104931"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104931\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":104932,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/104931\/revisions\/104932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=104931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=104931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=104931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
