Unbelievable: Colleges ban 9/11 anniversary memorials because not PC!?
from ????? ?PODCASTLIFE
Outrageous: Some colleges have banned posters of 9/11 because they show Radical Islamists perpetrating terrorism and they don’t want to hurt Muslims’ feelings!? This is unbelievable, but true. The Radical Islamists should have thought about not hurting Muslims’ feelings before they flew planes into the World Trade Center. Ripon College, in Wisconsin, for example, has allowed their ‘college bias team’ to rule that 9/11 ‘Never Forget’ posters are “inflammatory and unacceptable.” School officials told members of Young America’s Foundation that the posters focus “relentlessly on one religious organization… associating that one religious identity with terrorist attacks,” creating an environment in which “students from a Muslim background would feel singled out” or “harassed.” This is not the first time that colleges have reacted negatively to students wanting to honor the victims of 9/11. A professor at Saddleback College, in 2016, tore down the posters and ripped them up. Not only is this disrespectful to the victims of 9/11 and their families, but it also perpetuates a culture of denial - teaching students that the threat of terrorism no longer exists. Just this past week, it was reported that a U.S. drone strike may have killed Ibrahim Hasan al-Asiri, al-Qaeda’s chief bomb maker. Yet, even if these reports are true, there are still countless bomb makers that Asiri has taught over the years, who will carry on his legacy. So, we must ’Never Forget’ that the terrorism threat is not dead.
