Meanwhile, I'm picturing a student named Mohammad meeting with a counselor named Esther Goldstein.

"I won't meet with a Jew! If I have to meet with her again, I'll blow this place up!"
"Sorry, Mohammad! Sorry! It won't happen again! We fired her, don't worry."

I read the article and his request sounded perfectly reasonable to me.

If I had been in his shoes, I would have done the same thing.

Shame on his school. Shame on them. Their desire for diversity for its own sake is more important to them than the well being of a veteran who is one of their students.

Well, what would you expect from a Baptist university? He probably should transfer to a public university.

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963

~~~~~
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

~~~~~

All is going according to plan...

I’m wondering right now how a lawsuit under the American Disabilities Act would go over?

Probably not to well I suppose. Assuming this guy is a white American veteran of an authorized American ‘war’ he probably will just be vilified and threatened with imprisonment for being such.

Obviously, he was white, because there is no way in hell they would put a POC through something like that.

These campuses are like Stalin-lite. Pronouncements of mental disorder for “wrong” thinking. The only thing these schools aren’t doing, yet, is having students disappeared.

Taken at face value, this is an outrage.

Do these people understand what PTSD is?!!!! IMHO, this man didn’t want too many reminders of the time he got shot up, struck a mine with a Humvee, or whatever it was that happened to him.

Colleges are carrying out the role of the totalitarian state. The government doesn’t have to send people to reeducation camps. Colleges do it for them.

Here is a link to the contact page at the website for Mississippi College: Mississippi College Contacts

I sent this email below to: may@mc.edu which appears to be the contact for administrative issues.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have read with dismay your treatment of Jeremy Rawls, a veteran who has served our country and is attending your institution.

I am told he was a veteran of two tours of combat duty in the Middle East, and after he was assigned to a muslim woman who was non-secular enough to wear a hijab, he requested for a non-muslim counselor. Given his situation, I would expect he would be treated with a degree of understanding and respect.

However, I read that not only did you did not honor his request, but instead made him the focus of the issue and restricted his access to the campus and to classes.

You apparently chose the pursuit of diversity and the feelings of a counselor over the mental well-being of one of our veterans which is bad enough, but is even worse considering that mental health professionals should understand the harmful potential of approaching an issue like this in this fashion. The patient/person should come FIRST.

If what I have read is true, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You should reinstate this student, and provide him with the help he needs to aid his full re-integration into society. I hope to hear going forward, that you do just that.

We OWE this, and more, to men like this. We may disagree with the use of military force and how it is used, but there should be NO disagreement whatsoever that we as Americans OWE our veterans better treatment than this man has encountered at your institution.

I suggest that we spread this contact info around so we can let them know how much we disagree with the treatment of this veteran.

Their website reads, “Mississippi College, A Christian University.”

There appears to be nothing Christian about the way they apparently treated this vet. Also, how come a Christian university hires a Muslim to council students, nearly are of whom presumably are Christians? Even if the hiring would be justified, assigning a vet with his background to a Muslim is nothing short of outrageous besides being completely idiotic.

I think it is our duty to make each and every muzzie who doesn’t want to assimilate to be as as uncomfortable as possible. They call my dogs filthy, I call them smelly bitches....should have seen the faces for that one. You are not wanted here should be communicated in in non traceable but unmistakable ways.

That Muslim was no threat; she was alone with a man not her family member as part of her work. Thus she is apostate and would be stoned in about 47 Muslim countries.

I hope the former Marine sues the Shiite out of the so-called university.
