University of Michigan Students Call for Police to Censor Classmates’ Political Messages
Daily SIgnal ^ | 4/6/2016 | Andrew Kloster

The University of Michigan is one of our nation’s premier institutions of higher learning. Young people from all over the country move to Ann Arbor every year to obtain an education, and to have their ideas challenged by exposure to fellow students from many walks of life.

Or maybe not. Last Thursday afternoon a number of anonymous chalk messages appeared on campus. But because these chalk messages read “#Stop Islam” and “Trump 2016,” these innocuous messages elicited 911 calls and apology from the president of the university. Apparently such statements constitute “hate speech.”

Back in the day, the only hate speech in Ann Arbor was “Go Buckeyes!”

UofM has devolved into a liberal socialist shithole, like most universities these days. Tell your kids to steer clear of there, it's not worth the money. The only things that come out of places like UM are community organizers, BLM activists, professional victims, and marxist sympathizers.

“Government prosecution of WORDS is explicitly forbidden by the Constitution.”

Islam and the progressives require tight restrictions on words. I don’t think it will be the Constitution that stops them.

I remember a President saying “The judges have made their decision. Now let them enforce it.” The rule of law is GONE.

If Trump 2016 causes 911 calls what would “Appalachian State 34-32”, do to these Wolverwienies?

It is made up on the fly, for votes or money.”

How about our courts?

In our courts, it's about money only.

OK, story time with WBill....

Was working in NYC with a buddy of mine, some years ago. Near the worksite was a bookstore filled with Communist Propaganda. Pictures of Che in the window, posters with George Bush as the devil, and so on. I paid it no attention, it was all garbage as far as I was concerned, not worth wasting time with.

Buddy saw it, though, and absolutely went nuclear. Since he always was a quiet and undemonstrative man, I was stunned. Even more so, when a 3rd co-worker and I needed to each grab an arm and drag him out before he did too much damage to the store and/or the cops showed up and arrested him.

We got him into a diner, poured some coffee into him, and got him calmed down enough so that we could understand him - his English got worse when he got excited, and this was as wracked as I'd ever seen him.

I'd always thought that he was from Thailand - he wasn't, he was from Cambodia.

Roughly, and again keeping in mind the language issue, he told us the story. His father was a doc, and was killed along with his older brother early on in the purges. He and his mother were smuggled out in a shipping container through Singapore, finally arriving in London. (Cambodia to Singapore to London in a shipping container? gives me claustrophobia just thinking about it...) He had no idea where the rest of his family was, if they were just scattered, or if they were still alive.

This was several years ago, hopefully, he's made some headway in finding his family. I don't work with him anymore, it's been a few years since I've run into him.

It was an eye-opener for me, to be sure. It's cliché, especially here on FR to say, "Yeah, Communism is bad. Killed 100 million people last century. Etc." But this event, personified the evil that it represents, at least for me. Made me look at all of the useful idiots - College Protestors wearing Che T-Shirts, fools at the Communist bookstore, and so on, in a much darker way for what they represent.

“With the latest student snowflake action, it has become the forerunner of the American police state and dictatorship under future President Sanders.”

Police state snowflakes? How does that work? Will they release a blizzard of tears if you don’t hand over the mosin nagant? Will they freeze after getting swatted with a newspaper?

How can a minority of retarded liberal art students lord it over the rest in engineering at Michigan? Oh, right, the silent engineering majority, they sadly have their heads in technicalities to not be able to move ahead their aspiratikns politically against those who will be later in life their parasites

Try that stuff on them and you will get a very stern talking to in addition to having to sit in the corner while they vote on your reprimand!

There are a lot of high-school English teachers that need to be fired, because there are a lot of high-school graduates who seemingly fail to recognize that Nineteen Eighty-Four was a warning, not a suggestion.

“911 calls? Gimme a break!......they’re gonna be crappin’ they’re collective pants when the rest of isis gets here.”

Not to worry, they are going to flip so fast at becoming a new muslim, it won’t be funny. Sadly, that probably won’t save them as they think it will.

What $$$ was in a new right to gay marriage?....The money comes from the new votes and the people who support them. The real queer population is 1% or less. The supporters, Dems, Marxists, socialists, etc are a LOT more. Intended to to destroy Capitalism.

If the election were held today, who would be
your first choice for President of the United States?

Who would be your first choice for Donald Trump's running mate?
