ORIGINAL: Kirata
While reviewing one of the sample publications, committee members came across material that demonstrated an overt lack of sensitivity to the portrayal of members of the Arab world,” SSFC’s funding recommendation to the Minnesota Republic said. ~Campus Reform
Ironically, the funding committee is apparently oblivious to their own "overt lack of sensitivity" in suggesting that any portrayal of terrorists is inherently a portrayal of members of the Arab world. But of course, that would require at least some minimal contact with reality.
Its always a good thing to look up where information is coming from. The Campus Report's About section:
Campus Reform, a project of the Leadership Institute, is America's leading site for college news.
As a watchdog to the nation's higher education system, Campus Reform exposes bias and abuse on the nation's college campuses.
Our team of professional journalists works alongside student activists and student journalists to report on the conduct and misconduct of university administrators, faculty, and students.
Campus Reform holds itself to rigorous journalism standards and strives to present each story with accuracy, objectivity, and public accountability.
Sounds innocent, right? What is that organization they mention they are a part of? The Leadership Institute? Well who are they, and their viewpoint?
Founded in 1979 by its president, Morton C. Blackwell, LI provides training in campaigns, fundraising, grassroots organizing, youth politics, and communications. The Institute teaches conservatives of all ages how to succeed in politics, government, and the media. SOURCE
Yes, because conservatives in politics, government and most importantly the media, have....ALWAYS....been honest, right? The whole 'about section' is simply petty attacks towards other people in the stero typical 'football' match or Zero Sum game. That its 'OK" for conservatives to lie, cheat, and be dishonest; but if anyone else does the same, its just....WRONG.
Per the source your quoting, the Campus Reform:
Our publication, derived from the University of Minnesota’s Students for a Conservative Voice (SCV), allows students on campus to share their viewpoints no matter what—even if they are considered offensive.
But if a liberal or moderate organization and/or entity were to say or do something (or both), that was offensive, would the Campus Reform defend them? Come on, Kirata, you must think non-conservative people are as dumb as you are!
Here's another nugget from your 'source':
We do these things to show support for students’ right to say what they want on campus.
So the KKK can say it wants to murder and rape blacks while burning down their dormitories? That this 'Campus Reform' which is a 'front organization' for the Leadership Institute to push 'conservative ideology' onto unsuspecting Americans, would defend this crap? Anyone that doesn't know the 1st amendment and *ALL its exceptions, should get educated. Anyone in the media that doesn't know this stuff, are total idiots!
Oh an in typical conservative 'fear tactics':
Students on campus should not have to feel as though the university is spying on them, waiting for a chance to strip them of their First Amendment rights. Instead, students—especially on a public campus—should be undeterred in their discourse and dialogue on any issue.
The university, if it is funded with state and federal funds, CAN NOT strip a US Citizen's 1st amendment right away (or ever). That the student is allowed to take the matter to court if they wish. However, the university does have a right in keeping things on campus, safe, sane and reasonable. There are many times controversial people have come onto campuses. On all sides of the political spectrum. But there is a difference between being civilized and being a savage trying to persuade others that they are civilized.
