NightSide - Hampshire College Takes Down The American Flag

BOSTON (CBS) - After authorities found the campus American flag being burned on Veterans Day morning, Hampshire College administrators have decided that they will not fly any flags on campus, at least temporarily. Jonathan Lash, the president of Hampshire College, has said that he hopes the decision will lead to a substantive discussion of what the flag stands for, and what the recent uptick in expressions of hate and anger mean for the future of our country. Do you buy it, or is Hampshire College way out of line?
