You're missing the forest for the trees:
1. Why was this rule enacted during the summer term?
2. Why the rule now? And what was the basis for it? Did the student senate vote on it?
3. Original rejection of flags on Dallas Hall Lawn had referenced "triggering" and "offending" of certain students
4. This falls right in line with the admins bungling of the volleyball tribute, and their PC emails on last year's veteran's day along with wimpy emails from Turner after election. My theory is that Turner and his colleagues are so afraid that they may have a University of Missouri situation happen, that they react in this way to appease the small contingent of liberal loons on campus. No backbone or moral fiber has been shown by Turner on not only this issue but past ones as well.
Furthermore, who the hell is Jake Torres (< 200 twitter followers; not official smu personnel) , and why do you think he is stating factual info? After reading his twitter log about this he also seems to be misguided.

When I got to Little Rock the national news was reporting that the demonstration had been cancelled because only 2 or 3 people had shown up. It was kind of bad timing for them to have it scheduled on the day of holiday break.
