Although she has right to do thisy she needs to This week the Grand Valley Lanthorn asked six community members: express her feelings in a more civilized manner.

In the past months, protesters have littered the streets in downtown Grand Rapids and across the nation expressing their thoughts and feelings on the Why do you think so many incoming United States entering the war against Iraq. Why did these protesters do the things they did? Is it because they have loved ones that might be shipped off to war? Possibly. Are they against war altogether? Could be. Is it because freshmen like Grand ValleyP they care deeply about their country and want to look out of the best interest for the entire country? Let's hope so. While protesters choose to express their feelings by standing in the streets and holding signs, Toni Smith, a college basketball player for Manhattanville College, has chosen to express her feelings by turning her back to the American Hag during the playing of the National Anthem before every game. She does have a right to do this, but unlike the peaceful protesters in Grand Rapids and all across the nation. Smith is disrespecting the country and everything America believes in by turning her backside to a symbolic piece of this nation. When asked what the flag meant to her. Smith said that “it means the mil­ lions and millions of indigenous people who were massacred to claim it. It means the millions of those enslaved to build it up. It means the millions of those who are still oppressed in order for it to prosper. ” From her statements it sounds like the flag means a lot to her. It is indeed this flag of the United States that stands for the freedoms and rights "The class sizes are that Americans hold today. Does she realize that in many other countries she "Because we have such "Why!? I have no idea.

Management English The thing is, America has given Smith the right to do this. Yep, as crazy as it sounds, America has given Smith the right to disrespect the flag. Smith's right to do this has come from the millions who have fought and lost their lives for the flag, for the country, for freedom. And with one move ­ ment she is disrespecting every one of those “millions of indigenous people ” that she mentioned above. It is all about respect. She should respect the freedom she possesses now —enough so to at least show one minute of respect to the flag. Although she doesn't agree with Bush's war policy, she has to agree that life in America and playing basketball and getting a free education is a lot better than a life in many other countries around the world, where these rights simply do not exist. And that is something even she cannot turn her back on. NJ.T.
