SMU Cancelled Tribute for Executed Dallas Officer — ‘Could be Deemed Insensitive’
Breitbart ^ | 11/12/2016 | Lana Shadwick

The 14-year-old daughter of a police officer executed at the July 7 Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas was notified by Southern Methodist University that she would not be able to serve an honorary serve in her father’s memory. SMU told her and her mother “that the demonstration could be deemed insensitive.” The University sent the communication to back out saying they were doing so because the volleyball program “feels that in light of recent events and diversity within the SMU community,” “the demonstration could be deemed insensitive.”

it would be ‘insensitive’ to hold a tribute for a fallen police officer?

is that because those in attendance may have been the ones participating in the events surrounding his death?

how about hold the event, get them to flip out, and arrest them

It is insensitive - towards terrorists and minority racists.

The left has become a parody of South Park, not the other way around.

This is just another example and it is country wide of the disconnect between the administrations of our schools and the rest of us.

A few decades ago a known communist by the name of Nikita Kruschev said something along the lines of the US being defeated from within. To take back the country we need to really take a very hard look at the people in charge of the education of our children.

Controlling the mind is one of the planks of the socialist/communist ideology.

There were other Socialists as well...

“When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side, and you will not get me on your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to me already. A people lives forever. What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants however now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community’.”- Hitler at Elbing, Germany, when the Nazi conspirators publicly announced the purposes of their educational and training program.

“The youth of today is ever the people of tomorrow. For this reason we have set before ourselves the task of inoculating our youth with the spirit of this community of the people at a very early age, at an age when human beings are still unperverted and therefore unspoiled. *** This Reich stands, and it is building itself up for the future, upon its youth. And this new Reich will give its youth to no one, but will itself take youth and give to youth its own education and its own upbringing.”- Adolph Hitler, 1 May 1937.

Without a doubt, the ‘Diversity’ administrators of the SMU Faculty played a leading role in this idiot decision. Their myopia and LEFTIST agenda drives their actions in almost every college across the nation and they have inordinate power derived from Title IX and the very LEFTIST Department of Education.

This demonstrates why it will be incumbent upon the new Trump Administration to decimate (1 in 10) the Education and other LEFT-dominated US Cabinet Departments. As it stands, electing a conservative President and leaving the embedded LEFTIST bureaucracy in the DoEd, DoJ, IRS, EPA and others is an exercise in frustration!
