A newsletter posted on the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) campus is starting to make the rounds on social media and it states veterans should be banned from four-year universities. Several viewers asked 11 News to look into the origin of the newsletter.
The letter states military veterans should be banned from classes and compares the military culture to white supremacist groups.
The newsletter is titled "Social Justice Collective Weekly" and says it is the first issue. A spokesperson for UCCS said the newsletter has nothing to do with the school and does not represent the institution's views. However, it was approved by the university and posted on a bulletin board. The school says anyone is allowed to post items on the board.
The university explained while this group is not affiliated with the college, they say it is free speech and the group can post what they want.
The article says veterans should be banned from UCCS and other four-year colleges. It also generalizes veterans and says they are unsympathetic to the LGBTQ community. The article says all veterans have far right-wing ideologies.
"They [the authors of the letter] try and talk about inclusion as a principle," said UCCS student Joe Hollmann. "Yet, they're excluding one of the most important members of society, those that are guarding our freedom to even talk about this."
"There's a lot of hate in the world," said fellow UCCS student Caleb Hensley. "You can't fight hate with hate."
All of the students 11 News interviewed on campus disagreed with the stance the letter takes. The newsletter was also in the library and other places, but students have been taking them down.

I have a better idea, all students serve 4 years in the military, then go to college. You will be an adult with a goal in life, and take real courses, which of course would put pressure on the school to get better qualified personnel. Lots of real courses in all sorts of science, engineering, medicine et.al. and less about LGBT studies. Like that will ever happen.
This is obscene. Utterly without redeeming social value.
How’s ‘bout cutting off US fed grant $$$???
Does college make people stupider?
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for I am the evilest son of a bitch in the valley.
Yes, that was some years back.
My toxic masculinity has been on the wane.
That said, there are many younger ones to carry the guidon.
Our USMC Infantry son (3x sandbox)returned to complete his education, and some of the BS he and his pals ran into!
The good news is, they support each other. Occasionally he would forward some of his groups ‘issues’.
The lead dog for the group is now the political director for a well known figure, you may have seen some of his writing here on FR.
They help each other beat the BS, a sly and cautious bunch.
What? These SJWs are pure evil.
Could be a problem at land grant colleges which must accept veterans tuition-free. Like UMass, which has long gone psycho-leftist.
The Left have gone full retard and have now cent-upled down on stupid.
I’d say it would be time to burn down these indoctrination centers aka liberal colleges; if they indeed did this.
...democrats all in with radical in other words nominal islam, pigastinianism, homosexuality, pedophilia, transgenderism and every other form of sexual perversion, communism, RINOism, atheism and other anti-God nonsense, criminal behavior of all types, black inadequacy, la raza, every other form of maladjusted minority status, murder, thievery, etc....
Yeah, that’s them.
I had to laugh when I read that most veterans get “out” with a disability. I do know one who sprained an ankle while on a boat, not a ship, you know, and at age 60+ he claimed disability due to that ankle sprain and he now gets $3000/mos disability.
I know another one who was an Atomic Vet (he was one of those who with all the others in his squad were some numbers of feet from the Atomic blasts in Nevada in the 40’s and 50’s). He suffered bad injuries and only just before he died, did he receive disability even though his lymphoedema made his legs so huge he leaked lymph fluid. when he got his disability he was in his 80’s.
Christians are also being purged.
