Raheel Tauyyab, a UVA third-year student, said he learned about the flag from a professor who was monitoring the news about the riot on his computer during a virtual class Wednesday afternoon. Tauyyab, a Muslim American who said his goal was to one day work at the Capitol, said he could not forget the traumatized look on his professor’s face. “I won’t lie: I did shed a tear,” he said. “It was really stabbing to the heart to see something like that happen.”
