���Black Lives Matter��� Flag Flying Above the University of Vermont is Stolen, but Quickly Replaced

The University of Vermont had been flying a ���Black Lives Matter��� flag alongside U.S. and state flags when it was stolen sometime last Saturday night.

According to The Washington Times, the flag was spending a few days atop the flagpole courtesy of the university���s Student Government Association, and as a symbolic gesture on behalf of the black men who had recently been shot by police officers in Tulsa, Oklahoma and Charlotte, North Carolina. It was never intended to be a permanent fixture among the flags regularly flown at UVM, and was only supposed to be in place through this past Monday.

Well, once news of the flag flying above the campus made national headlines, it mysteriously disappeared on Saturday. It seems not everyone shares the school���s egalitarian perspective.

Not to worry, though. Another ���Black Lives Matter��� flag was found in a jiffy, and hoisted back atop the flagpole on Sunday.

As to the outcry over the fact that a ���Black Lives Matter��� flag was flying at all at the school, according to the Burlington Free Press, Enrique Corredera, executive director of public affairs at UVM, confirmed that any student organization can submit to the process of flag sponsorship.

���UVM supports free expression, and other university groups are welcome to propose flags with information that they wish to express,��� said Mr. Corredera.
