College nixes 9/11 memorial

[vraiblonde]

Says it's...

ready?

...biased against Muslims.

By focusing “relentlessly on one religious organization, one religious group, one religious identity,” Ripon College’s bias incident team ruled Young America’s Foundation’s posters remembering September 11th create an environment where “students from a Muslim background would feel singled out and/or harassed.”

Time to eliminate these places once and for all.

They're nothing more than tard factories.

Thats a pretty bold statement for a university who only boasts a 10% inclusion for people of color...

Note that contrary to the title, the 9/11 "memorial" is nothing more than a poster pointing out different acts of Muslim terrorism.

Ever been to the Holocaust Museum?

Photographs have meaning.

Is it really fair to point out that Muslims blew up the Towers. I mean after all, it was so long ago, can't we just forget it?

I've been to an actual concentration camp (Dachau). Pictures, writings on the wall, walking through the gas chambers, etc. all have meaning. However, this is not a 9/11 memorial and that's all my post was intended to point out. You can choose to turn it into whatever you want.

Is a photo nailed to a tree where someone died in a wreck a memorial?

They turn it into one when they do so... I don't see a problem with them doing it.

I find it equally touching to post a rolling memorial, like on the back of a big dually that's rollin' coal.

Did you even read the story or look at the poster?

Yes.

You are equating two dissimilar things. Had there been a single photo, your hypothetical would stand. However, using your example, it's like nailing a photo to a tree relating to that accident, and 10 other, non-related, accidents and calling it a memorial for one specific event.

This 9/11 "memorial poster" does include a photo from 9/11....and 7 other incidents from '79-'16. Call it an "anti-muslim terrorism" poster or whatever, but don't act like it's solely a 9/11 memorial poster when only 1/8 of it is about 9/11.

The poster is designed like a tic-tac-toe board with eight of the nine squares containing images of terrorist incidents perpetrated by Islamic extremists over the years and the center block stating “Never Forget” in black and white. The images include scenes from 9/11, Benghazi, the Pulse nightclub shooting, ISIS beheading, the USS Cole bombing and the Iran hostage crisis.

I really don't care what they call it.

If there is nothing inaccurate, fabricated or otherwise it seems fine.

If muslims are uncomfortable about it, thats on them. I'm not, in the least, concerned about the Germans comfort from WWI either btw.

Are you purposefully obtuse or do you just type things out without actually thinking first?

Kyle's not very bright...

He doesn't understand that calling the poster a "9/11 Memorial" when only 1 of 8 pictures is about 9/11 IS inaccurate, fabricated and misleading.

Actually it's the two of you that seem to have a challenge understanding.

What part of "I really don't care what they call it" is too much for that synapse you share?

And yet you care enough to blather on about it and reply to my comment about a completely unrelated topic.

It's quite clear who has the problem understanding.

You idiots calling these kids stupid yet you can't be bothered to read the whole article.

That is rich

Melissa Anderson, a Ripon College spokeswoman, said the university offered up its student marketing resources to create a new poster.

"There was no ban," Anderson said of the 9/11 memorial, adding that the school has received several threats after it was reported the private school was blocking the posters. "The meeting did not result in any action."
