Political correctness is a disease. Its a cancerous growth on the posterior of America that continues to grow. One of the prime examples of that is this weeks controversy surrounding the University of Michigan, and its screening of American Sniper. Long story short, American Sniper was going to be shown on campus, some Muslims at UofM complained, got a petition going and got the screening canceled. They claimed that the film was racist and that it would make students feel unsafe. Jeez. Then one girl, one brave girl, named Rachel Jankowski, got a counter-petition going to get the screening back on. Not only was she successful but well, just watch the interview.
Show her some support!
didn’t Jim Harbaugh help?
Now that Ms Jankowski’s name is out there, I expect she’ll be getting an unexpected Tweet or two.
Muslim (and others) will continue whining and playing the victim card as long as it works in their favor. It is sad to see what is happening to this country.
I have a basic question.
Why are they officially showing any movies on campus?
Same reason they are reading books.
Via your blog, of course. Shocker.
3, 2, 1.... Cue GrumbleBummer, king of the boring one note poster.
“Why are they officially showing any movies on campus?”
Rachel Jankowski, on the film, says the university started showing films on Friday night so perhaps students would go to the movies instead of going to bars and getting drunk or doing other things that weren’t healthy for them.
I suppose that, sure, any koranimal closet killer students might feel “unsafe” watching that movie.
Tough noggies.
Let them transfer to U of Bacon Fat.
Lol
You and HG have to share Texas
Is there room for both of ya?
When my daughter attended Georgetown University, I was visiting and saw “silence of the Lambs” with her and her friends.
That was a long standing weekly routine organized by the students themselves. If you weren’t inclined to enjoy the movie, you simply didn’t attend that night.
I never heard of a “group” petitioning to censor the current choice. That is such a koranimal, gay mafia or feminist thing!
LOL WarDaddy! I’m from Colorado, but fly the Texas flag because it looks like it would be a great Freeper flag! Always love seeing you on here. You’re a good leader.
PS - My best frat bro’s nickname is ‘WarDaddy’. You’d like him, I’m sure.
Post an alternate source and we'll watch it..........tick, tick, tick.........
If it wasn’t such a ridiculous question, I would answer it.
Damn, 4 minutes and 27 seconds too late............
Scare the student body....uhm....ISIS can pretty much do that within a 15 second beheading...talk about racist....ISIS HATES THE HUMAN RACE!!!
Islam is strengthened by fear & submission....take that away...and see the true bullies standing before everyone!
An alternate source of some mook trying to score hits and get fawned over?
Nope, don't have any of that. I guess you win.
IT was my real question.
To stop them from drinking is right?
Aren’t they mostly underage to drink?
