“The Young Americans and other student groups called the new policy an attack on free speech.”

SMU is a private school and it has the right to exercise controls on political, social and religious displays on campus.

However, the SMU administration does not appear to be exercising common sense on this issue.

It is astounding the number of ways the Left can describe censorship without using the word “censorship”.

Why do some people get more rights than others? They get the right to veto what others want that is neither offensive or harmful. We need to stand up against those who get the last word to nullify tradition.

It’s supposed to be triggering. You’re supposed to cry a little.

These are the same idiots that did this:

http://dailycaller.com/2016/11/11/smu-volleyball-cancels-honorary-serve-for-dallas-police-officer-then-apologizes/

They cancelled the slain officer’s ceremonial first serve because they assumed he (and by extension his daughter) was white and would “trigger” people or “be insensitive to diversity.” Officer Michael Smith was born in Asia of Asian parents, was an immigrant and as such his daughter was half Asian and a first generation citizen. They only reinstated the invite after public shaming and someone pointed out that by “encouraging diversity” they had actually discriminated against someone with the “diversity credits” they claimed to be protecting. What a bunch of idiots.

Well ya know... removing the flags might “trigger” some other students.

Triggered by historical facts?

I bet these “officials” weren’t triggered by this SMU proof’s social justice piece....

https://blog.smu.edu/research/2016/02/16/charity-social-justice-and-earth-friendly-activism-replace-big-houses-diamond-rings-and-ostentatious-living-for-status-seekers/

Or this social justice presentation in Dallas Hall...

https://blog.smu.edu/dedmancollege/2017/04/12/social-media-social-justice-social-activism-an-smu-and-dallas-community-panel-event/

Or, this ‘gathering’...

http://blog.smu.edu/dedmancollege/2017/07/12/human-rights-youth-summit-set-for-july-15/

This is happening at the campus that houses the GWBush Presidential Library.

It’s happening on campuses, all across the country.

Wake up, folks. Stop sending your hard earned $$ to these schools without fully vetting them/their policies.

Triggering the snowflakes’ melting.
The unnerving thing is that in 2020 the oldest Millenials will be old enough to run for the Presidency.

I bet that there was a change in administrators at the university and the new person is an extreme liberal who has decided to impose this.

The YAF students should unofficially arrange to have 3000 people stand on the lawn holding American Flags, and pictures of the Twin Towers in flames.

SMU is a private college and has the total an unequivocal right to commit financial suicide. I would suggest to any and all alumni of this once prestigious college to not send them one damn dime.

Sounds more like Southern Mental-Mess University. They are badly infected with the PC Snowflake Virus, a deadly disease spread by libtards. It destroys the common sense and logic of its victims and is passed along by libtard media and libtard “educators”. How dare they forbid the remembrance of a catastrophic event that occurred on U.S. soil and killed nearly 3,000 innocent people? Yeah, SMU admin is THAT stupid!

Anyone who is “triggered” by encountering patriotism does not belong in the United States of America, at least not outside a mental institution. If they are too delicate to handle the fact that people still mourn those who died (including several friends of mine), they are too delicate to live on their own.
