54 Republican legislators have signed on to a bill that would forbid federal funds to any “institution of higher education that removes, censors, takes down, prohibits, or otherwise halts display of a flag of the United States.”

CNS News reports the “Protect Our Flag Act” would allow colleges and universities to regain access to federal funds once they reinstated the display of a U.S. flag that had been removed.

The bill follows the controversy surrounding Hampshire College’s decision to remove the American flag after it was burned following the presidential election.

After weeks of protests, the college restored the flag on Friday.
