Article from the Washington Examiner by Lauren Cooley.
Administrators at Ripon College in Wisconsin have ruled that a Sept. 11 memorial cannot take place on campus because it may offend Muslim students.
The private school cited bias reports that were filed during last year’s Sept. 11 memorial project, a project that was a part of Young America’s Foundation’s iconic patriotism initiative which takes place across the country on campuses every year.
The school’s Bias Protocol Board said the project creates an “environment” where “students from a Muslim background would feel singled out and/or harassed.” As a result, Ripon students will not be allowed to hang flyers as part of their vigil to remember the victims of Sept. 11.
According to YAF, administrators claimed that one of their objections is “because radical Islamist terrorism ‘represents a small percentage of the terrorist attacks that happened to this country, and they don’t represent the full gamut, and they show a very small picture of a specific religion or nationality instead of the larger viewpoint.’”

Who cares if Muslims are offended ? They offended America and all Americans with their cowardly and unprovoked attack on our country . If they are offended , let them return to their own countries and force their leaders to change their ways .
Ditto
Guess the stinking moslems (sic) don;t go by the body count,,,,and call some nut shooting up a bar a terrorist attack. – If they didn’t the stinking moslems are responcible for almost ALL terrorist activities in this country.
Thing is who cares? The leftests and filthy moslems are in their death throws and in a few years they will be only a bad memory.
MAGA Get on the Trump Train or get run over by it.
Well, I guess we could UNenroll them and send them home. Has Ripon ever heard of FREE SPEECH???
If they are offended, they can go home. i am offended that they are here trying to change our country into their muslime country. i am offended by their mosques, by their dress, by their culture. Go home and be happy there.
Good thing the 4th of July is during summer break, or we might offend the British. Does this mean they will cancel Christmas too. I understand that Muslims are offended by it.
The communists that run ALL the public schools have already banned Christmas and anything Christian, but don’t offend the muslims please.
THEY !!!! Should be sued for the religious rights of AMERICANS.. They’re putting MOOOOOOOOOOOOSLIM’s over other religions.. !! I know that it’s a private school,,,,,,,, but somewhere they’ve received fed funds.. Even if it was for the parking lot…
ANY MUSLIM OFFENDED I’LL GIVE A ONE WAY TICKET OUT OF MY COUNTRY
