I don't believe that he should appeal, because he did destroy public property, which is the flag belonging to the University. It's not so much an issue about racism as it is the fact that he did destroy public property.

No. He needs to take responsibility for what he did. You can take down the flag, but don't rip it up. That's a sign of racism to me.
