Campus bans Sept. 11 memorial for 'bias' against Muslims

[OneHungLo]

Administrators at Ripon College in Wisconsin have ruled that a Sept. 11 memorial cannot take place on campus because it may offend Muslim students.

The private school cited bias reports that were filed during last year’s Sept. 11 memorial project, a project that was a part of Young America's Foundation’s iconic patriotism initiative which takes place across the country on campuses every year.

The school's Bias Protocol Board said the project creates an “environment” where “students from a Muslim background would feel singled out and/or harassed.” As a result, Ripon students will not be allowed to hang flyers as part of their vigil to remember the victims of Sept. 11.

According to YAF, administrators claimed that one of their objections is “because radical Islamist terrorism ‘represents a small percentage of the terrorist attacks that happened to this country, and they don’t represent the full gamut, and they show a very small picture of a specific religion or nationality instead of the larger viewpoint.’”

“This attempt by Ripon College’s 'bias protocol board' to sanitize the truth out of remembering the anniversary of September 11 proves the necessity of YAF's iconic 9/11: Never Forget Project, as well as the need for bold YAF activists," Young America’s Foundation Spokesman Spencer Brown told Red Alert Politics. "YAF’s leadership in creating meaningful memorials on this important date in our nation’s history ensures that the rising generation remembers the 2,977 innocent lives lost. The administrators’ reliance on feelings rather than facts betrays their intention to cower from the truth rather than highlight the scourge of radical Islamist terror for what it is: evil.”

The Ripon handbook states that the college is “committed to the free speech and open exchange of ideas and views, as reflected in the institution’s Core Values” but this commitment “requires the confrontation of challenging issues in the context of civil discourse and intellectual inquiry.” Students can combat bias by “participating in on-campus programming around multiculturalism, diversity and social justice.”

The Ripon Center for Diversity and Inclusion boasts of its programming surrounding International Month, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month and LGBT History Month, and “Culture Week,” yet bans the “social activism” of a patriotic event remembering the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

The handbook goes on to explain and vaguely define a "bias Incident” as a “behavior or act—verbal, written, or physical—which is personally directed against or targets an individual or group based on perceived or actual characteristics.”

While hate crimes should be punished and bias generally creates a negative environment for learning and living, Americans should absolutely be biased against our enemies, especially terrorist organizations like al Qaeda or the Islamic State.

Ripon’s censorship of YAF’s memorial is a chilling example of speech suppression, where a bipartisan, patriotic event is being shut down due to the anonymous objections of a few. It’s also an example of the shocking anti-American sentiment taking place in U.S. higher education.

Jtfc, so the school equates Muslims with terrorists.

Nice messaging.

On 09/11/01 I was headed to school and every car on the highway had a flag hanging out its window.

Flipped on Howard Stern.

Learned the news.

Got to class, PoliSci 101.

CNN was on. Everyone was watching.

Class canceled shortly thereafter.

Went home. More CNN.

One of those days one will never forget.

Somehow we went from this..



to being afraid to offend muslims. Unreal.

Well you sure showed saddam and wiped out 200k iraqis because your ally saudi organized 9/11 LOL

You are not terrorists at all...noooooo...the 200k do not count because they were not white or american...but the 3k americans that your ally saudi killed in 9/11 will hurt as long as pearl harbor...9/11 is still good for milking for at least 100 years...

Next time spin the wheel and blame another random country and then avoid talking about it and pretend that random invasions are normal...

This looks like a legit news source: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/

Once again we have fake news.

The group involved is the Ripon Young Americans for Freedom, which is exactly what you think it is. It turns out in 2017 they had this "event" and there was a lot of complaints about it. There is a huge difference between remembering 9/11 and bashing Muslims. In 2017 this group made violent and gore filled posters that had nothing to do with 9/11 and everything to do with displaying Muslims as murders and terrorists.

A statement form the college says:

“There has been much misinformation posted related to a recent discussion between Ripon College officials and student members of the Ripon College Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chapter. The YAF posters are not, and have never been, banned.”

This is what I love about the Internet. The truth is out there if you are willing to search for it.

Is it random invasion time again like with Iraq?

hardly fake news. unless you get your news from GFY and think this thread is a news outlet.

the fact is there was an issue and there are two sides to it, it simply took a moment to get the facts sorted out.

and the Washington Examiner has been around for decades.

It is in fact fake news.

The original article states the college prevented this group from holding their event. It is completely incorrect, and this did not happen. It is fake news with the only intention of getting clicks and perhaps pissing people off.

The link you posted from Newsweek backs up the fact that the college DID NOT prevent this event from happening.

I am disgusted by fake news being passed off as truth when ten seconds on Google proves it's fake news.

completely wrong again.

the link I posted from Newsweek proves it's fucking news. There are 2 sides to every story and stories break prior to getting them 100% perfect. Newsweek broke the same fucking story the day before, the Newsweek article even states it was updated. You'd have to be an imbecile to think any news story less than 100% perfect is fake news. You'd also have to be a total embecile to point to a Newseek news story and claim that news story proves the very same news story is not a news story.

The news requires common sense and critical thinking, you'd have to be an even bigger embecile to think there's a news outlet that spoon feeds you 100% perfect news that does not require active participation on your part.

Newsweek: The story has been updated to reflect comments from Ripon College. It was originally published with the headline Wisconsin College Bans 9/11 Memorial Posters Saying They Are Biased Against Muslims.

so Newsweek is fake news according to richard, because they didn't get the story 100% perfect.
