text: Forced patriotism at a university is kinda like the NFL being paid millions to put the players on the field for the anthem starting in 2009. I am pretty sure an academic institution can not legally mandate patriotsim. 
  
  They are non denominational. Are they going to force all Christians to stand for the anthem? Jehova's Witnesses do not salute the flag or pledge allegiance. The Amish may not either. I am sure there are more Christain denominations that do not salute the flag. 
  
  Hmm.
