Re: The Optimist, Sept. 22 “Flag petition raises needed discussion” editorial

Abilene Christian University is in the United States of America. Therefore, it is in fact an American university. Those from other nations that decide to attend ACU understand that it is just that. I wish that many Americans understood the same. Since when has patriotism been restrained to silent or discreet expressions? I think ACU should be proud that it is an American university, and should be willing to show the world its patriotism.
