The chancellor's comments made sense up to the point where in the interview it was noted that neither the publication nor the writer had a connection with the university, in other words, it was outside influences trying to stir up trouble. One thing about veterans on campus would be the experience they bring from the outside, they will not be intimidated into accepting the propaganda so prevalent in many classes by liberal instructors. Considering that the author could not be reached or located, there is a slim possibility that this was done by a liberal professor who fears all the things I have cited, he could be challenged in the classroom by some one who has dodged bullets and even death so he won't be intimidated by words.

Gee jumping Judas goats! I didn't know all those black people in the armed services are white supremacists.
Drafted Bama boy me will never forget my first Parris Island shower back in 1969. Due to my segregated schooling, being surrounded by so much naked black skin was a bit of a shock.
Maybe me dino should look some of those fellow Marines up because we were trained to only be the color green, ya know.
All of us green white supremacists could dress up in assorted white racist costumes, surround a Confederate statue to sing "Dixie" and then form up to goosestep around it while singing "Das Deutschlanied."

Interesting...those GI bill dollars (which I used myself) won't be coming in and, I would think, any federal financial aid should be withheld, since it comes essentially from the same government paying the veterans GI bills.

I'm sick of this time I'm living in.

I haven't liked growing "old". I don't like it that it is
now much harder to get a job.
But I have a similar feeling to something Ayn Rand once said, that she was glad to be old, not to
have to be around to see certain things. And it is
tempting to get into the same mood, because of seeing the attitudes that are getting so widespread.

The thing that I find utterly idiotic about them wanting to bann vetrans from higher education, is that from my personal experience as a white vetran, very large numbers of service personal are minorities. I won't go into specific numbers but I can unequivocally state that minorities are at much higher ratios when compared to national ratios. Therefore this policy if it were to be enforced would be more detrimental to to the very ones they wish to protect.

I don't know where I heard or read this, (was it here on another thread????) but I like it and will pass it on here. Someone suggested that all older people aware of what's going on in our colleges take a class or two and start politely raising their hands and question the disinformation being "taught" in the classrooms. Bring a smart phone to record and watch the Marxist professors heads explode. This will also expose the other "skulls full of mush" with actual true and common sense information that they can remember.

The person who suggested it said that some of the kids came to him for more information. I imagine the "teacher" would not call on you more than once, but that once could be very interesting and helpful to others.

I have long supported service earns citizenship and privileges. I would take it even further and require service to earn the right to recieve any and all possible govermental assistance, much like the cheesy movie Starship Troopers.

What amazes me is that so many people today are willing to accept outright lies from the media and politicians as truth. Joe Biden is running around claiming that Trump praised the white supremacists in Charlottesville (blatantly false). These lies get propagated widely, and become an unshakable belief to a significant segment of the public.

Not even part of the Vietnam conflict (I was a spook), as an Air Force officer I was accused of being a baby killer by long haired draft dodgers, who only dimly understood the American military. Going to an all volunteer military has only further distanced a largely inexperienced public from service members. We're more efficient, but at what social cost?

Nick, like you, I'm beginning to lean toward Heinlein's idea of mandatory service before voting rights are granted.

"LGBTQQI2SAA"?

I'd started to wonder if the author got a Scrabble game for Christmas, but then I realized two things.

One, there's only one 'Q' and no numbers in a Scrabble set (although there are blank tiles).

Two, he couldn't have gotten it as a Christmas present because he probably is among those who sue people and companies when they wish the world a Merry Christmas.

Why is it that conservatives are surprised when liberals fail to think rationally? Liberals are illogical for the same reason that the scorpion stings the frog. It's just part of their nature and is part of what makes them liberals.

Brandenburg v Ohio allows free speech to the point of educating people HOW to do violence BUT not to actually do violence.

it shames me to say I am a resident of the state of Colorado; they are pathetic

The flyer has to be satire, doesn't it? I have no basis for this other than the content of the article, but it seems to be satire because of the word choice. Although this perspective is being glamorized and portrayed as the moral absolute, I strongly suspect no one would ever phrase it this way, specifically:

(1) "In order to provide a safe place for all students, extremist right-wing groups must be suppressed on campus." Using the word "suppressed" gives it away, for me. The argument is normally phrased "intolerance will not be allowed," which leads to the criticism of "intolerant of intolerance" and the pushback against phrasing it even that way. The preferred artiulation of this perspective presents it as a negative or something good (like "not okay"
versus "bad") rather than "positive action taken to silence you" (which admits the use-force-to-silence reality that the supporters deny).

(2) Similarly, the sentence right before that one: "Finally, veterans usually are associated with extremists right-wing groups such as the tea party and the NRA." Take the point from (1) and expand it to include any member of the NRA or anyone who supports anything the NRA does, we'd get most republicans. Being generous, let's say it's not actually half but only a third of the voting citizens.... a THIRD? Surely this sentence is only highlighting the ridiculous logic seen at universities regarding the banning of "controversial" speakers (i.e., anyone who doesn't espouse the correct opinion, though that opinion may be vehemently opposed by ~50% of the population, including the banned speaker). It cannot be serious... can it?

(3)"LGBTQQI2SAA." I guess someone may be willing to type it out in a printed publication... but even the most long-winded and in-your-face Fa (aka "anti"fa) supporters I know would only say LGBTQIA.

(4) "Veterans should be allowed to attend trade schools, or maybe even community college." This doesn't make sense to me -- if the concern is the white supremacist culture that's the same in military culture, why allow any non-Fa to get any education (i.e., to allow those who have been "permanently tainted" to exist ANYWHERE would allow them to "taint" something)?

Anyway, if it is serious, at least we're seeing what's supposed to happen when bad ideas come to light: people rejecting the idea as horrible rather than physically attacking someone who dared to articulate a minority opinion but expressed it in a safe, unconfrontational, and constitutionally protected manner and forum.

Sorry, but...

The referenced reads like a typical Newsertainment story, using riot and racism to get the reader wound up and irate, and doing so hold you with their barbed hooks to addict you to their blather (and dump ads in front of you...)

To me, it's a symptom of the fatal disease that exposes the loss of intelligence and ability to critically discern that plagues the "first world" populace, and especially those here in the USA.

College should not be a "privilege", it should be a free-market enterprise. Ditto for student loans. I don't mind the dissemination of viewpoints such as this one, since they undermine the "progressive" movement by alienating most of the students it hopes to attract. As the article states, "All of the students 11 News interviewed on campus disagreed with the stance the letter takes."

I too am a resident of Colorado; and i live in Colorado Springs about three miles from this campus. Unfortunately most of this has started in the last few years under the leadership of our 'illustrious' our governor Hickenlooper. How's that for a name?

Another one of those pushung the envelope from the far left in order to see how much they can stir up and who they can stir up. As a pre-teen, I had never seen a naked black man until I was at a beach where anyone who needed a place to change into swimming trunks was in one big room with showers and urinals. Standing within a few feet of me was a black teen.who was changing into a bathing suit and I was surprised to note he was pretty much like me except that the hormones were at work. I don't know what I expected to see, but I was gratified that he was human. I did admire his extremities and I realized for the first time, what certain sexual prowess remarks were about. Rather than be fearful of him (no tentacles)..

So, it does appear it is hard copy paper being posted on bulletin boards around the campus:

"The news station adds that every single student they interviewed disagreed with the flyer’s sentiments, and students have also been taking them down."

This is their "first issue" of the newsletter. It sounds like they went for something stupid in a morbidly curious way to draw attention and get readers before they run out of runway. "Clickbait"-style claims are a hallmark of our time.
