When country music artist and conservative commentator Alexis Wilkins refused to remove the American flag from her Instagram bio, she told Fox News Digital it became a moment that inspired her to embrace and speak out about her conservative values.
Wilkins said she wasn’t politically outspoken before college, but a classroom experience changed that.
"I was given an F in a class that I have only ever gotten A's in my life because of my politics," Wilkins shared.
Wilkins believed that receiving the failing grade was the professor’s way of signaling she wasn’t following a push to be indoctrinated.
When country music artist and conservative commentator Alexis Wilkins refused to remove the American flag from her Instagram bio, she told Fox News Digital it became a moment that inspired her to embrace and speak out about her conservative values.
Wilkins said she wasn’t politically outspoken before college, but a classroom experience changed that.
"I was given an F in a class that I have only ever gotten A's in my life because of my politics," Wilkins shared.
Wilkins believed that receiving the failing grade was the professor’s way of signaling she wasn’t following a push to be indoctrinated.
Wilkins pushed back, calling it "ridiculous" to suggest that being proud of the country you live in should be considered "partisan."
During the 2016 election, Wilkins said some in the industry warned her that even working with certain veterans organizations could be viewed as "partisan."
Wilkins didn't let that stop her.
"It was things that were fundamentally American and things that I wasn't willing to compromise on," she said.
