your intellectual and moral superiors are up their old tricks again:
University of Minnesota committee: making fun of terrorists 'compromises the cultural harmony of the campus'
It's yet another case of the loony left dominating discourse and holding all the cards.
According to Campus Reform, the University of Minnesota’s Students for a Conservative Voice (SCV) is a publication that “allows students on campus to share their viewpoints no matter what—even if they are considered offensive.”
The University of Minnesota's Student Service Fees Committee, which allocates funds to student groups, is attacking the publication and their right to free speech.
Campus Reform reports that the Student Service Fees Committee cherrypicked a 2011 issue that pictured a man with a gun burning an issue of the Minnesota Republic with the words, “Terrorists hate the Minnesota Republic.”
The SSFC targeted SVC over this back issue saying, “While reviewing one of the sample publications, committee members came across material that demonstrated an overt lack of sensitivity to the portrayal of members of the Arab world.”
They continued, “After assessing this information, the Student Service Fee Committee would like to emphasize for the group the significance of culturally sensitive discourse on a campus like the University of Minnesota, which prides itself on being home to a wide range of values and beliefs held by members that originate from countless cultures across the globe. In the future, close attention may be paid to the content published by Students for a Conservative Voice to ensure that any material that is produced with student fee funds does not compromise the cultural harmony of the campus and to ensure that the material that is produced is not at odds with the criteria in place for receiving this funding.”
In other words, The Student Service Fee Committee doesn't want to upset students who may be offended if terrorists are satirized.
Given the context, exactly how do they pride themselves on having a 'wide range of values and beliefs'? And what beliefs in question are the Student Service Fee Committee taking pride in?
If you make fun of terrorists, you'll lose your funding.
You can't make this stuff up.
