9/11 Disunity at Occidental College
The 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks has not been a moment for unity at Occidental College. On Saturday, the Occidental College Republican Club planted 2,997 small American flags to honor those killed in the terrorist attacks of 2001 (photo at right). The memorial was registered with the college, which granted permission for the flags to be placed on campus.But by Sunday morning, many of the flags had been removed and placed in the trash, and others had their sticks broken.
