Al Sharpton will be the Columbia Political Union speaker for the Columbia College Student Council Re-orientation event on Sunday September 9th from 4 p.m. -7 p.m. in Roone Arledge Auditorium, Alfred Lerner Hall. The doors open at 3:30

Because of Reverend Sharpton's history of racial incitement, he is an unsuitable speaker and will set back race relations at Columbia. The tacit endorsement by the Columbia Political Union and Columbia College Student Council for Sharpton institutionalizes a soft bias against Jews and all whites. As the first speaker of the year, Sharpton will be setting a tone of mistrust divisiveness for the entire year.
I believe that this situation merits both a response and a protest.
The Columbia College Conservative Club will be holding a protest from 3:30-7PM on Sunday on the South Field.
Below is my response the Sharpton speaking and the internal announcement for the event within the CPU.
Sincerely,
Ron Lewenberg
President, Columbia College Conservative Club

Reminder:
This is to be a civil event, limited to signs, pamphleteering, and civil discourse. Under no circumstances are any members of the protest to approach or confront Mr. Sharpton or his entourage. Please be courteous to the Columbia community, students, and staff. Please do not leave the cordoned areas to hassle them.
If you choose to bring posters or placards, please refrain from using profanities or racially abusive language.
If you cannot abide by these rules, DO NOT COME TO THE EVENT! You will not be welcome.
They're both devisive mental midgets. All clear thinking patriots should show them the exit sign, and let the door hit them in their fat & skinny asses!
Best FReegards.
