University deems 9/11 memorial “triggering, harmful, harassing”
Bogus Times ^ | 8/2/17 | Kim Parkhurst

Posted on 08/02/2017 5:54:26 PM PDT by BogusTimes

In a move that’s a slap across the face of every patriotic American, the Southern Methodist University in Texas relocated its annual 9/11 memorial flag display from in front of the campus’ iconic Dallas Hall to a less visible area to avoid exposing the community to “triggering, harmful, or harassing” messages.

The memorial is the work of the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) student group. Since 2015 YAF has organized the 9/11 Never Forget Project, which YAF Chairman Grant Wolf describes as “a memorial of 2,977 American flags in a visually stunning display that represents each of the 2,977 Americans murdered by Al Qaeda terrorists in September 2001.”

The display, once revered by SMU as a “sea of red, white and blue” and “a lovely tribute” in front of Dallas Hall where many students hang out and socialize, is now being relegated to a more obscure location at MoMac Park, as not to hurt the feelings of those less American among us.

They’re afraid the goat-humpers will be offended.

I have had it.

Severe torture or death for anyone who is “triggered” buy a 911 memorial.

And what are these low IQ (obviously) idiots doing in a college?

And what does it say about the academic ratings of a college that would admit them?n

And our taxes funding laughable students pursuing worthless studies?

Time for war, folks.

Real war.

And no kidding.

Coddling Muslims and Uber-Leftists is leading the nation to ruin.

While I’m at it, Southern METHODIST University?

Who are they worshipping now, Mad Mo?

Get real.

It will be war with those slime, sooner or later.

Better sooner.

The more we see of this, the more likely people will get up off the couch and fight back.

In the meantime, they are only losing support by these actions. See BLM playbook. Blocking roads hurt their cause rather than help it.

The Methodist Church is beyond saving. And I was a born and bred Methodist.....stopped going after 9/11, when my pastor blamed terrorism on ‘world hunger’. He actually said, from the pulpit, ‘we must redistribute the wealth so that everyone has enough’.

Bin Laden smiles from Hell.

It's shameful,but I hate half of this country. It's not going to get better. There isn't one day that I do not think of 9/11 and those who died since then fighting the war. These scumbag snowflakes,Muzzletards and libtard America haters can FOAD. One day both sides will just have to fight it out. We can only take so much and be spat upon as what we hold true and honorable is desecrated.

This is happening in Texas because their last two Governors were so welcoming to Islam.

Despite its name, Southern Methodist University has no affiliation with the Southern Methodist Church and never did. It should not be confused with Southern Methodist College in Orangeburg, SC, which is affiliated with the church. "Snowflakes" are not likely to be a problem at SMC, and that's not just due to the balmy climate.

I think Perkins School of Theology at SMU is associated with the United Methodist Church.

Governor Abbott, is SMU getting any state funds? I am confident you know what to do and will do it.

As was their "favorite son" while residing at 1600 for eight years
