Ole Miss student senator faces calls for resignation after supporting state flag

A member of the student senate at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) is facing calls for his resignation over his support for the Mississippi state flag and his allegedly “homophobic” and “racist” tweets.

Mississippi’s flag, which incorporates the Confederate Battle flag, has been embroiled in controversy for several months, with many finding the flag deeply offensive and a symbol of racism. Allen Coon, a student senator who serves as the president of the Ole Miss Democrats and the school’s NAACP chapter, introduced a resolution “Requesting that the University of Mississippi Cease Flying the State Flag.”

The resolution passed Tuesday night, 33-15 with an abstention, according to the Clarion-Ledger.
