Or would you tell them to take it down or face eviction?

If they had a signed lease that specifically stated they could not display anything in their windows, then they would have to be asked to take it down and if they didn't then eviction proceedings could begin.
If there was no written lease agreement, then then I would ask them to take it down. If they didn't, and if what they were doing bothered me enough, I would stop renting to them. If there was a written lease that didn't contain any mention about it, then I would be SOL if they didn't comply when asked to remove it. Again, if I was bothered enough by it, I wouldn't renew their lease.
Frankly, I would be more upset about the swastika being displayed rather than disfigured American flag. The first is a display of evil belief, the second is merely undergraduate stupidity. I'm sure most of us who've been to college had a point in time when our naive childhood belief in the inherent goodness of all of America's past actions had those particular blinders ripped from our eyes, and we went through our "disgust with America" phase. Most people grow out of that and develop a more balanced and mature view of this country's history.
