    Is it really unsafe for minorities? Is this more politically correct overheating by the Left? Should the student senator leave if Shapiro comes?

    Lol I've met Shapiro. He's a little guy.

    Maybe she thinks he's literally hitler?

    "According to the minutes of the May student government meeting, student Sen. Raul Orellana read a statement from a constituent to express why he was voting against recognizing YAF.

    “I also think that the presence of YAF would further marginalize minority students on campus and if anything makes minority students feel more unsafe or targeted,” the statement said. “What struck me, as a woman who is often labeled as an immigrant by white people, even though I was born here, is ‘sharing inspiring stories with legal immigrants which is very high on the initiatives list. First of all, no human is legal on stolen land.”

    “Secondly, sharing these stories is unnecessary and is YAF’s way of trying to slight or undermine undocumented immigrants, which in turn will target undocumented students, faculty, and staff on this campus,” the statement continued."

    -----


    "Sharing inspiring stories with legal immigrants" will make minority students feel "unsafe or targeted"? :wierdface:

    This is just another example of the inmates trying to run the asylum, and snowflakes trying to silence those they don't like or don't agree with.

    As far as "[undermining] undocumented immigrants, which in turn will target undocumented students, faculty, and staff on this campus", they are here illegally. What part of that is so hard for these snowflakes to understand? (And just exactly how many students, faculty and staff do they have who are illegals anyhow?? Maybe ICE should visit this school, LOL.)

    I have no problem at all with celebrating legal immigrants and sharing "inspiring stories". They are here legally and that's how the system is supposed to work. But God forbid we celebrate the people who did it the right way, because it might hurt the feelings of the people who are here illegally.........

    Boohoo if the illegals are threatened by the idea of (gasp) legal immigrant students :roll: The whole premise is as stupid as a soup sandwich.

    If we substituted illegal immigration with any other law violation, and then said we can't talk about people who don't break that law because it might undermine the people who are breaking that law, folks would think we were insane.

    Can't wait for the usual posters to defend this.

    All land is stolen from someone else. I hate the concept that we have pre-selected on group of people and decided they were 'first' simply because they were here before the main NA settlers.

    Also, if your not a citizen, then you shouldn't be comfortable living in the county of which you are in illegally.

    Democrats see someone that isn't white and think... there's a minority, I bet they hate trump, love abortion and support open borders... you know, because of their race...

    The first law the nazis passed when they came to power was to ban Jews from public pools. I'm sure the Democrats aren't far off from passing similar laws for white people.

    Wow pretty weak argument to deny this group. I’m interested to see if a less biased source produced any better justification, but I doubt it. College campuses are become very intolerant of any right leaning views.

    Just another attempt by Leftists to silence opposing views.

    Did they stop teaching about the Bill of Rights in school? How do these kids not know how absolutely wrong and Anti-American their position is?

    The people who say words harm them are the same people who call those they disagree with racists and Nazis.

    What a bunch of self centered, intolerant snowflakes.

    I’m consistent on this...you’ll never win the war of ideas if you refuse to listen to the other sides POV.

    Plantation owners used the tactic of fear mongering to try and keep slaves from escaping. They were often told it was "unsafe" to venture off the master's land. Food for thought.

    While I generally agree, surely there is a line right? A group can’t be pro actually nazism can it? Would that be ok?
    I generally feel any group not openly promoting hate should be allowed.

    I agree with you, but who defines what hate is? In the minds of some people simply supporting Trump fits that definition.

    Sorry. Why shouldn’t illegals be treated like illegals? This country has gone insane. Inmates running the asylum. Shapiro
    Is dangerous? Hehehehe. I wonder if that Muslim student thinks CAIR is harmless. I wonder how many minority students support Farrakhan or Sharpton? I think that Muslim student is probably an anti Semite, since we’re just tossing out BS. ;)

    Leftists are the book burners of the 21st century, always looking for voices to silence.

    Did you notice how everyone who complained claimed some sort of victimhood status while the true victims were the conservatives who didn't do anything to anyone?

    The left doesn't want them to know how good America is.

    Universities should be the final authority, not student bodies.
    First of all - all students are there temporarily.
    Second of all - while students should be encouraged to participate in local matters, they should not have the final say on anything as they might end up discriminating other students.

    There is a college in OH that just lost $12M in libel lawsuit, in huge part because the admin allowed students to do anything they want without any regard about consequences to local community. I hope this is going to become an eye opener.
