UNC-Chapel Hill students on Tuesday stopped an American flag on campus, which anti-Israel protesters had previously replaced with a Palestinian flag, from hitting the ground.
FIRST ON FOX – A moment of patriotism on the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill campus Tuesday has captured the nation's attention. Anti-Israel protesters on Tuesday morning successfully replaced the American flag on Chapel Hill's quad — which had been flying at half-mast after four Charlotte officers were killed in the line of duty Monday — with a Palestinian flag before UNC Chancellor Lee Roberts responded with law enforcement officers to return the American flag to its place.
Chapel Hill's school-wide alert system, Alert Carolina, issued a 'critical' advisory Tuesday notifying students that classes and non-mandatory activities were canceled in the afternoon. Tuition for North Carolina residents at the elite public university comes to just under $9,000 and just under $40,000 for out-of-state students.
