I say fly this rebel flag high, and fly it proud

Don't have a lotta time to entertain you with my thoughts today, but as I'm lounging in the lobby of the Courtyad Marriot in sunny, sunny -- oh my god, I can see and smell the ocean! -- St. Petersburg, FLA, I thought I'd quick direct your attention to a little higher ed squabble down the road from here.

Check out the image posted here. If you look quickly, it's a simple sad, embarrassing rebel flag. But upon closer examination, it's much more than that.

The image was part of a faculty gallery, and the president decided it'd be better for everyone involved if that image wasn't part of the rest of the exhibit, given the negative attention it's attracting and all.

So check it out, read the piece in Inside Higher Ed, and ask yourself this important question: Wouldn't you rather be in sunny, sunny St. Petersburg? Ha!
