In the world of academia, the battle lines between patriotism and anti-American sentiment have been drawn, and it seems the pro-American students are gaining ground. The latest example of this trend occurred at Louisiana State University, where a patriotic group chanted “USA” to drown out the anti-American, pro-Hamas activists.
This display of patriotism is not limited to LSU, as similar events have been happening at universities across the South. Just last week, a group of students at the University of Mississippi took a stand by singing the national anthem at the top of their lungs while pro-Hamas protesters tried to shout them down. The same thing happened at the University of Alabama, where students chanted “USA” to silence the voices of those who support the terrorist organization Hamas.

But perhaps the most remarkable example of this trend occurred at the University of North Carolina’s Chapel Hill campus, where a group of fraternity brothers stepped in to defend the American flag from being replaced with a Palestinian flag by anti-Israel protesters. Despite being surrounded by insults and physical objects, these brave young men stood their ground and protected the symbol of our nation.
The fraternity brothers’ actions have received widespread support, with a GoFundMe set up to fund a “rager” to show appreciation for their bravery. This event serves as a reminder that there are still young Americans who are willing to stand up for their country and defend its values, even in the face of hostility and opposition.
As the debate over Israel and Palestine continues to rage on, it is heartening to see that the spirit of patriotism and love for our country is alive and well on college campuses. The fact that these events are happening in the South, where conservative values are often under attack, is even more significant.

It is a testament to the conservative values and beliefs that have been instilled in these students by their families and communities. They understand the importance of standing up for what you believe in and defending your country against those who seek to tear it down.

In these divisive times, it is essential to have Americans who are proud of their country and its values. These young students are a shining example of that, and their actions should serve as an inspiration to us all. The battle for the hearts and minds of our nation’s youth is far from over, but with the courage and determination shown by these students, the future of America looks bright.
