Students At An Oxford College Remove The Queen's Portrait, Citing Colonialism

The decision by students at Magdalen College, part of Oxford University, to remove a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II has touched off anger in the U.K. The college is seen here in a photo from last May.

In the students' defense, Magdalen College's president says that being a college student is "sometimes about provoking the older generation. Looks like that isn't so hard to do these days."
