The University of Iowa is investigating a series of “offensive” flyers that popped up around campus, including one that asked, “Are you sick of anti-white propaganda in college?”
A second round of flyers appeared in a residence hall over the weekend featuring an image of two white people with the caption "We have a right to exist."
The flyers were first discovered on October 10, pasted over Hillary Clinton campaign signs near the Latino Native American Cultural Center, LGBTQ Resource Center, and Afro-American Cultural Center, KCRG reports, and a second round of similar messages subsequently appeared in a residence hall this past Sunday.
The university released a statement calling the flyers “deeply offensive,” declaring that they “do not represent the values of our institution” and providing a list of resources for anyone seeking “help” or counseling because of them.
“The University of Iowa is committed to maintaining an environment that promotes the robust exchange of ideas,” the statement reads. “We are equally committed to maintaining an environment that recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every person and that fosters tolerance, sensitivity, understanding, and mutual respect.”
The university has encouraged students to report any relevant information to “Hawk Watch,” a new app used to report suspicious activity on campus to the university police department.
“That’s a great way to take a picture of flyers if you see them, and send it into the police, and they have an open investigation on that,” an unidentified woman told KCRG.
The university also promised resources for community members who were “seeking help” over the incident, providing contact information University Counseling Services and the Center for Diversity and Enrichment, among others.
One student, Alantrah Wright, told KCRG that she is trying to keep an open mind about the incident.
“You just can’t blame every white person you see from now on, and...you just have to, if you want, try and make a social change,” she proclaimed.
Many oppose that right to exist.
LOL What a bunch of bigoted cowards running the universities and colleges Everyone has rights except Caucasians
I think I'm starting to see the problem.
Why is the government giving millions of dollars to these institutions?
Why are parents paying thousands of dollars to send their kids to these places where they are brain washed and treated like dirt?
What could be worse?
This is from October 2016.
Flyers opposing whites would be stamped with university approval.
“The University of Iowa is committed to maintaining an environment that promotes the robust exchange of ideas,” the statement reads.
These two sentences are diametrically opposed to each other.
“Are you sick of anti-white propaganda in college?”
So what happens to the people who answer "yes"?
Uppity whites actually think they have a right to protest being offended.....
Looking forward to the time when educational institutions are made obsolete by AI robotic instructors.
“The University of Iowa is committed to maintaining an environment that promotes the robust exchange of ideas,”

Only as long as you exchange the same idea we have...
IOW, just “preach to the choir”, you’ll be fine...
All I have to say about the left, including the vast majority of the academic left, is that you can tell what people are really like by asking yourself honestly what they would do if they had absolute power. What would Hillary Clinton do if she had absolute power? What would Obama do if he had absolute power? What would Valerie Jarrett do if she had absolute power? There is nothing more fundamental about their nature than the answer to this question. I know what I think they would do.
What's that?
Last time I checked, "Latinos" are from Iberia in Europe.
Don't think any Ogallala Sioux had any Spaniard forebears.
What is offensive is the climate on this and other institutes of “higher” learning.
Change the images to those of any minority, and change the word “white” to any minority terminology, with the probable exception of Jews, and this would receive the university’s seal of approval.
I will bet that this university approves or perhaps promotes “check your white privilege “ and other attacks on whites and western civilization — the very people and civilization that made its existence possible —but it is surprised when there is resistence.
The University of Iowa is a state institution. Just what is it investigating. If someone wants to post or distribute a flier whatever the content, is exercising constitutional rights of free speech. If any official or law enforcement official from the University of Iowa arrests or anyway disciplines the person responsible for these fliers then that person should seek damages in federal court for violation of his or her rights.
S O U T H . A F R I C A . H E R E
Simply no doubt about their goals
““The University of Iowa is committed to maintaining an environment that promotes the robust exchange of ideas,” the statement reads.”
You misunderstood the statement, they want you to exchange your ideas and replace them with theirs...
