Maryland Students Demand Ban of ‘American Sniper’
Lifezette ^ | December 14, 2016 | Kathryn Blackhurst

A coalition of 25 student groups at the University of Maryland have issued a letter to the school’s administrators containing 64 demands to help “marginalized student populations” feel more welcome on campus. Among the demands is a ban on public screenings of the film “American Sniper.”

The group, who call themselves ProtectUMD, sent the letter in the wake of President-Elect Donald Trump’s victory, according the Diamondback student newspaper Monday. In response to Trump’s election, the student coalition demanded additional support and protection for minority groups — particularly the Muslim, illegal immigrant, pro-Palestinian, and LGBT communities. The Muslims students especially wished the administrators to take measures “to prevent situations similar to the ‘American Sniper’ situation from happening again.”

1) Shred “demand” letter.
2) Tell Snowflakes to shove it.
3) Carry on.

A bit of book-burning irony in this. Censorship on demand.

Maybe they should just try growing up!

This is an opportunity for the College Republicans to build an event around a screening of the movie, and to invite dissenters to a follow-on “inter-religious dialogue” the next day.

A couple years ago, I took a group of students to university of Maryland for a robotics competition. The snowflakes are all taught that they are so precious and important that wherever they walk off the sidewalk, traffic must stop for them to cross.

These idiots walked right in front of me several times. I was driving a bus.

“No, they’re all “pussified. “

Christmas Day a relative was talking about a couple of young men in her office(recent college grads) who make their breakfast every morning in the office microwave———EGG WHITES AND KALE.

Can you believe young men eating that?

>>I would love to see these snowflakes visit a place like Saudi Arabia. or visit Afghanistan. they are clueless to reality

These are the kind of people who “accidentally wander” across a border, get captured, and then expect Uncle Sam to come rescue them, ransom them, or negotiate their release. Their failures of parents make emotional videos begging for their stupid little crotchfruit to be released unharmed.

I’m not arguing their stupidity, but surely you noticed all the signs that said YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS. It is state law in Maryland that traffic must come to a stop and yield to any pedestrians in a crosswalk. The definition of what it means to be “in” the crosswalk is unclear, so some interpret it to include waiting to enter it.

“Diamondback” student paper?

They do realize that is a rather venomous snake of the American Southwest, or not.

In Uniform.

Hell, ROTC would send them to their safe place, wherever the hell that is.

Wake up snowflakes, the world is coming and hell right with it.

The Diamond Back Terrapin is the Univ. of Maryland’s mascot. Teams are called the Terrapins. Diamondback, well you now know...

There’s a nice bronze statue of one on campus.

You may have missed where I said wherever they walked. Crosswalk or not. They just blindly walked into traffic.
