College Removes 9/11 Memorial of American Flags For Fear of Offending Muslims

91

Southern Methodist University prevented a student group from prominently displaying a 9/11 memorial that featured almost 3,000 American flags to honor those slain, according to a Wednesday report.  They banned the memorial on Dallas Hall Lawn so as  to“avoid messages that are triggering, harmful, or harassing.” Who is offended by American flags and memorials to victims of a major jihad attack on American soil?

That’s it. We are done. Cooked like the Ramadan goose.

College Relocates 9/11 Memorial After ‘Triggering, Harmful Or Harassing’ Speech Policy

August 2, 2017: By By Rob Shimshock, Daily Caller:

Southern Methodist University prevented a student group from predominantly displaying a 9/11 memorial that featured almost 3,000 American flags to honor those slain, according to a Wednesday report.

The school blocked its Young Americans for Freedom group from displaying the memorial on Dallas Hall Lawn because of a July 2017 policy that stressed its desire to “avoid messages that are triggering, harmful, or harassing” in the location, according to The College Fix.

The college will allow the group to display the memorial at a different location, but the two groups have different opinions concerning why the request for the first location was denied.

“All approved lawn displays, regardless of sponsoring organization or subject, now will be located on a larger site, MoMac Park,” said SMU in a statement posted Tuesday to Twitter, describing the policy edited in July. “The policy has been further updated to better reflect [the balance between freedom of speech and freedom from coercion/harassment] and to remove the poor wording regarding triggering or harmful messages.”

 

“This new location is far less prominent than the iconic Dallas Hall Lawn, which thousands of students, faculty and local residents pass by every day and serves as the heart of our campus,” said the SMU College Republicans on Facebook in response. “This is disappointing considering that the purpose of the many displays that our organizations construct is to generate respectful, diverse dialogue so that our campus will be a center for thoughtful and engaging discussion that inspires and informs the ‘World Changers’ we are all striving to become.”

The statement is signed by representatives of SMU’s College Republicans, College Democrats, Feminist Equality Movement, Mustangs for Life, Turning Point USA, and Young Americans for Freedom chapters. Drew Wicker, president of the school’s College Republicans, told The College Fix that the groups did not want SMU to “go the way of UC Berkeley, Middlebury or Evergreen College.” (RELATED: Evergreen State President Doesn’t Seem To Understand Free Speech)

The actual policy was removed from the university’s site Tuesday, according to The College Fix.

Pro-life crosses displayed on Dallas Hall Lawn have previously generated controversy for members of SMU’s community.

Pro-life is anti-woman? Considering half of the babies murdered by abortion are female that argument is beyond stupid. Leftists are just plain evil. They hate freedom, they hate capitalism, they hate America.

It has been my experience that those who are pro-abortion turn a blind eye to all that disagrees with them. Logic and truth are not what they want to hear. I support the Life Begins at Conception Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/816/amendments

In the Roe v Wade opinion, the Supreme Court left open a way to overturn the decision without having to take another case to the Supreme Court. Congress can overturn the decision and end legal abortion for any reasons other than preserving the mother’s life, incest or rape simply by passing the Life Begins at Conception Act. Part of the Roe v Wade decision is based on the fact that science had not, at that time, established when “life” begins and the infant/fetus can be legally declared a separate living being with Constitutional rights.

We already have laws on the books all over the USA in which a person who murders a pregnant woman is charged with 2 counts of murder; one for the woman and one for the unborn infant. Yet, abortion law allows that mother to “murder” her own child. This inconsistency needs to be corrected. Also, experience has shown that where aborted fetuses are often alive outside the womb, they can be saved with prompt medical treatment or, more often, are murdered by the medical personnel who did the abortion. Passage of the Life Begins at Conception Act would immediately put a stop to it all and give us one consistent law. At conception, the infant is a “real” person, not a mass of tissue, and therefore has Constitutional protection to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. The “mass of tissue” is and always has been a LIE. That is why those who are pro-abortion do not want photos of fetuses shown.

With the advancement of birth control methods, there is no excuse for conceiving a child you do not want. Yes, rape and/or incest (which is often rape as well) are not prevented by contraceptives. But, sexually active women are simply being irresponsible when they become pregnant with a child not wanted and seek abortion to relieve themselves of their “burden”.

It’s not right to ban a memorial to 3,000 people who died because some are afraid of triggering “harmful, harassing messages”.
By design, memorials are NOT meant to make people feel warm and fuzzy….they are meant to honor the dead, to bring attention to the atrocities and hate that caused their deaths. People need to remember what happened, so they can prevent similar events from happening again.

It doesn’t matter what if some people might find the memorial harmful…3,000 people died on 9/11, and this college has every right to put up a memorial to them.
This memorial may not make people comfortable, especially because it’s a reminder of how far jihadists will go….but as I said, memorials aren’t supposed to be comfortable.

They are reminders of how low humanity can sink, and a monument to the innocent people who happened to be there when that hatred exploded. It’s a reminder of the victim’s lives, and a demand for remembrance and prevention.

No one likes to face innocent deaths or jihadist murders, but not allowing those flags to be put up doesn’t do justice to the people who died on 9/11. And it doesn’t do justice for people who need to learn about what happened that day.

“Who is offending by American flags and memorials to victims of a major jihad attack on American soil.”
America/NATO helps 1 Jewish State (Israel and rightly so) VERSUS 3 Muslim states that America helps!
Bosnia, Kosovo and Kuwait owe their existence to American foreign policy.

Many Muslim leaders conveniently leave that part out, because they want to scape-goat Jewish people, Zionists, and promote their racist Jewish conspiracy theories; which is what inspires hate crimes in the form of terrorist attacks!

What a slap in the face to all those who risked their lives that day and many days after the first crucial confusing nightmare!
The families of the victims, must feel nothing but continual heartache when stories such as these emerge!
How can we forget the broken twisted bodies the horrific sight of people leaping to their deaths!
Our liberty and our country crumbled that day, and now years later this is what we have to witness.
Who the f cares about Muslims they are out to kill the very people who will stop at nothing to spare their feelings when the only feelings they have are hatred vile hostility and the feeling of superiority and smugness as the world submits to isla!m .

Let’s also remember that 9/11 was a inspired by people who grew up on Muslim Nationalism and Judeo-phobia; who then took advantage of a broken immigration and TRAVEL system to infiltrate our land.
(Sound familiar, Europe?)

I don’t know who or which political party changed the immigration laws that restrict White Europeans getting a “green card” favouring nationals of (mainly?) moslim countries just for the sake of “diversity,” I’ve told that the same applies to Canada. A Pakistani has therefore more probabilities of getting a work and residence permit than a Dutch or Belgian citizen. I know of some cases of favouring Afghans, Moroccans and Filipinos (among others) who did get the papers while other Europeans didn’t “qualify” and this happened BEFORE 9/11 under George W. Bush. I don’t know if things got worse under Obama, they probably did. Muslim Immigrants like the Chechnyan Tsarnayev siblings for instance (as well as to countless other followers of the “prophet” have hardly been an asset for the US. Rejecting Europeans has been a loss…

I believe that would be the Obama Administration. A conscious decision was made to ignore the Immigration/Nationality Act of 1952.

The Immigration and Nationality Act passed June 27, 1952 revised the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality for the United States. That act, which became Public Law 414, established both the law and the intent of Congress regarding the immigration of Aliens to the US and remains in effect today. Among the many issues it covers, one in particular, found in Chapter 2 Section 212, is the prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.” This, by its very definition, rules out Islamic immigration to the United States, but this law was ignored by the White House during Obama’s 8 years.

Islamic immigration to the US would be prohibited under this law because the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to the US government, the Constitution, and to the Republic.

All Muslims who attest that the Koran is their life’s guiding principal subscribe to submission to Islam and its form of government. Now the political correct crowd would say that Islamists cannot be prohibited from entering the US because Islam is a religion. Whether it is a religion is immaterial because the law states that Aliens who are affiliated with any “organization” that advocates the overthrow of our government are prohibited..Enforce the law!!

Islam is a theocracy, i.e. a form of government masquerading as a religion. It fully intends that all the world bow down to Islam or DIE. Therefore, it advocates the overthrow of the USA government by “force, violence, or other unconstitutional means.”

1.) their unsanitary practices ( they dont use toilet paper) they don’t believe in washing their hands which is why I will never eat in a restaurant with Muslim cooks.
2.) the backwards way they in one breath say they are Godly or Holy men but seeing anything more than the eye slit through a Hijab on a woman makes them go into a lust filled frenzy
3.) that they believe it is perfectly acceptable for a grown man to marry a 9 year old and have sex with them

Please do not insult Christianity just because ignorant snowflakes believe that if we all are just “nice” enough to Islamics then we can all be friends. True Christians, who still attend services weekly (or more often) and still believe all that the scriptures tell them, are smart enough to not believe the “if we make nice, we have nothing to fear” propaganda pushed by the socialist who are trying to destroy the USA.

Three years ago I walked away from a church I had been a member of for more than 45 years because the minister started preaching blasphemy and no one in the congregation but me was disturbed by it. Then I moved to another state and am now a member of a congregation that simply would not tolerate a blasphemous minister. We may be few, but real Christians are not refusing to acknowledge the difference between right and wrong. Sadly, far too many churches have surrendered to political correctness and turned their backs on the scriptures.

All who call themselves Christian or think they are being Christian are not really Christian. This Summer, my Sunday School class has been studying the Old Testament and God’s Urgent Call. It is amazing how many times the Israelites turned their back on God and disobeyed his laws, worshipped idols and generally had to be reminded just who God was and what he expected of them. God allowed the Israelites to be taken over and oppressed for a generation or two and then would send someone to rescue them. But, a generation or so later they would again ignore God and the pattern repeats. Every generation seemed determined to make the same mistakes.

I see today’s churches who profess to follow Christ’s teachings in the New Testament doing the same things. They know what they are supposed to be doing, but turn away in the name of adjusting to new attitudes of society instead of following the scriptures. This generation’s version is called political correctness.

What is wrong with these idiots? Can I say they are in fact Americans? No, it does not seem so.

SMU needs to be relocated to another country to avoid offending Americans.

I, am a 68 y/o American Citizen, a Veteran, . enjoying the retirement I’ve earned over 50+ years working.
I’ve played the game, with a mostly level head, minding my own business for the most part, and getting along with all stripe of my fellow man and woman. Black and white, Hispanic and Asian, et. al.
Mutual respect being the common thread in all cases.

That is, until this islam thing came along some years ago and started its belligerence. It is really getting obnoxious, which is putting it very mildly.
islam, will not take away my calm outlook on life. Life itself is a bumpy road, with no promise of calm seas or smooth sailing all the time.
However … Push a civilized man or woman far enough, and you are going to get a reaction sooner or later… islam is pushing… relentlessly… Our government, is doing next to nothing to mitigate the issues.

I would rather not contemplate the civil unrest that is brewing. Thinking that it is likely to bud and bloom into a full-blown civil war against the ever expanding islamic scourge.
I like the thought that God Almighty has apparently enlisted Mr. Trump. and is paving the road to revival
of some sanity in this country… Giving America a final ? chance to come to her senses.

We the People, need to align behind our President, and our Constitution. Granted, not all of us agree with everything our President is doing, and that is the source of the healthy exercise of freedom we value.
Allowing this so-called “deep state” or Obamas’ ” Shadow Government ” to exist, is NOT helping the concept of freedom. it has been tried, and found to be counterproductive.

Freedom of Speech is in the Bill of Rights and is a God given right of all people. Freedom from being Offended is NOT a right anywhere that I know of. Apparently, these students value free speech and free flow of ideas even if they disagree with the ideas. SMU is making a huge mistake as they are stifling free speech in an effort to prevent conflict of any kind; even civil discourse that is non-violent.

Personally, I think every student who disagrees with this new policy should withdraw and demand a full, 100% refund of all money paid for their education. They should also petition that state and federal funds be withdrawn from the school. Take away their income and then the administrators of this school just might wake up and do the right thing. That is respect and follow the Constitution and forget about being “politically correct”. I declared “political correctness” to be an attack on the 1st Amendment the very first time I heard the term. That was in the 1970s. My opinion has only been reinforced with the passage of time and all the damage that political correctness has done in this country. It is TRULY an ATTACK on our Constitutional rights and should be set aside immediately. No where is there a “right” to not be offended. That is impossible because no matter what you do or what you say, someone, somewhere will chose to be offended by it.

Can we now assume that SMU is now a non-christian, progressive Democrap college?

The displaying of a memorial for 9/11 is not islamophobic or intended to trigger anyone. Despite the fact that the perpetrators were muslim, the memorial does not mention that fact. So, should we remove all holocaust memorials in fear of offending Germans?

There are many more Americans offended that you don’t allow the flags! How can less than 1% of your college decide what does or doesn’t happen on your campus? Your lack of spine will come back to bite you, whether it’s parents not wanting their children to go to a college run by wimps. Or veterans ashamed of your decisions sending their kids elsewhere.

Muslims are ALWAYS offended. That’s because their barbaric and poor excuse for a religion forbids so many things. Their god demands total obedience but without the love and logic required of the real God.
