'Don't blame the terrorists for 9/11': Florida college students say worst attack on US soil should be taught without 'placing blame' to avoid Islamophobia and curriculum should not perpetuate 'American exceptionalism'

Students from the University of Florida say education about the 9/11 attacks 'should avoid placing blame' and called for a stop to perpetuating ideas of 'American exceptionalism' in the latest example of woke ideas run amok on college campuses.

Ahead of the 20th anniversary, student reporter Ophelie Jacobson surveyed students at the Gainesville campus to ask their opinions about education surrounding the terrorist attacks on September 1, 2001.

She noted that students today were too young- or not alive -during the 9/11 attacks to have their own memories of the tragic events. Most students said that they did not remember learning about the 9/11 attacks extensively during their schooling.

“Never forget” sure turned into “Not only forget, placate your islamic masters too” quickly.

How many students? 2-3? 90? 900?

this from the same dolts who woudl say after their houses or their parent’s houses were burglarized “We can’t place blame, because the perps might get angwy with us”

Two unrelated grievances. Kid sounds like a tool.

Islam is a war plan — period.

It’s a shame they couldn’t have been on the 100th floor of WTC on 9/11 instead of the other poor souls may they RIP.

The majority of students were too young to remember or weren’t even born yet to have any memories or opinion, but they have the nerve to demand that no blame be placed on Muslims for fear of Islamaphobia. Sounds like they are dutifully taking orders from their masters in lockstep.

Up until 911 I use to be annoyed by any American presence in the Mid East. After 911 anybody making war with Islam was right by me.

They are products of our government run schools. Thus they know nothing and desire to remain know-nothings.
