The left wins again

Nice to know that a man who saved American lives is being called a racist. He never discriminated against anyone who was Americans, he was only there to protect his brothers and he did a good job.

University: ‘While our intent was to show a film, the impact of the content was harmful, and made students feel unsafe and unwelcome at our program’

A scheduled movie screening of “American Sniper” at the University of Michigan was abruptly cancelled Tuesday after nearly 300 students and others complained the film perpetuates “negative and misleading stereotypes” against Muslims.

“The movie American Sniper not only tolerates but promotes anti-Muslim … rhetoric and sympathizes with a mass killer,” according to an online letter circulated among the campus community via Google Docs that garnered the signatures.

“Chris Kyle was a racist who took a disturbing stance on murdering Iraqi civilians,” the collective letter stated. “Middle Eastern characters in the film are not lent an ounce of humanity and watching this movie is provocative and unsafe to MENA and Muslim CollectiveLetter students who are too often reminded of how little the media and world values their lives.  … The University of Michigan should not participate in further perpetuating these negative and misleading stereotypes.”

The Center for Campus Involvement did not return multiple phone calls seeking comment, but its official Twitter account noted “Paddington Bear,” a PG-rated movie about a stuffed animal’s misadventures, will be shown instead of “American Sniper.”

So the Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh came out and said the team would watch the movie and basically told people who were "offended" to go F themselves. Then the University changed it's course and decided to show the movie.

Good for them, not going to bow down to the left agenda.

The Left... brainwashing idiot college students one at a time for the last 100 years.

(that should be their new slogan)

Old enough to vote, but too stupid to know who to vote for, and the reasons for doing so.

If you're a democrat... fine. But at least be n educated one. Same goes for the Right.
