USNA should screen it in the football stadium.

I guess these liberal colleges are only open to the right kind of free speech and free expression.

” it promotes intolerance and stifles dialogue and debate on the subject and goes directly against the atmosphere of diversity the University .............”

NEWSFLASH - you are nearly 40 too late!! Universities have been doing this to conservative ideas since the 1960’s. Only the most wacked-out ultra liberal ideas should expect any acceptance.

“a replay of the Michigan situation”

There are no Jim Harboughs at College Park to stand up to the leftists and Muslims.

The University of Maryland is run by cowardly, incompetent, politically correct liberals. They will fold like a cheap suit.

Universities respond to pain and money. Conservatives at UMD need to make the cost of this cancellation greater than the cost of going ahead. This is one small chapter in the war for the psyche of the US and it needs to be treated as a war.

If the University prevents a movie like this from being shown ...

Students can't go to a commercial theater, request it from Netflix, etc.?

Just because all of the terrorists in the world are Muslims is no reason to link them ti Islam./s

No surprise. This country’s universities have basically become leftwing she woman man haters clubs. Why would anyone think screening a patriotic war movie would go over well?

I remember the Nazi students protesting whenever WWII movies were shown on college campuses.

They felt that the movies were anti-Nazi. /s

Censorship by a government institution. Grounds for a federal civil rights lawsuit.

They should show the flick, so long as they give a trigger warning first.



Sorry.

The university decided to cancel the screening after outcry from Muslim students on campus. The Muslim Students Association at the University of Maryland even started a petition requesting that the school pull the screening of American Sniper. In the petition, the group stated that the film “perpetuates the spread of Islamaphobia and is offensive to many Muslims around the world for good reason.”

Some more of Obama's sons (from the muslim side of the family)?

Maryland "Freak State" PING!
