LogicIsForSquares Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I don't have a horse in the OSU-Michigan race but Harbaugh gained my respect on that. It is dog shit that it even comes to having the school's football coach having to put out that tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBrownsFan Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 CONTROVERSIES University of Michigan reverses decision, will show 'American Sniper' as scheduled Published April 09, 2015 FoxNews.com Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Bradley Cooper as former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle in 'American Sniper' The University of Michigan said late Wednesday that it will show the film "American Sniper" as originally scheduled after a protest by students and staff caused the screening to be scrapped. University Vice President for Student Life E. Royster Harper called the decision to cancel the Friday night showing a "mistake" in a statement. ADVERTISEMENT "The initial decision to cancel the movie was not consistent with the high value the University of Michigan places on freedom of expression and our respect for the right of students to make their own choices in such matters," Harper said. "The movie will be shown at the originally scheduled time and location." Harper added that the university will also screen the family-friendly film "Paddington" as an alternative. "American Sniper", which stars Bradley Cooper as former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, was originally scheduled to be shown as part of a university-sponsored social event called UMix. However, the screening was canceled after a protest letter garnered more than 300 signatures. "The movie 'American Sniper’ not only tolerates but promotes anti-Muslim and anti-MENA [Muslim, Middle Eastern and North African] rhetoric and sympathizes with a mass killer," the letter read in part. "Chris Kyle was a racist who took a disturbing stance on murdering Iraqi civilians." "Watching this movie is provocative and unsafe to MENA and Muslim students who are too often reminded of how little the media and world value their lives," the letter continued. The cancelation drew a strong reaction, and The Michigan Daily reported that a third-year Law School student named Rachel Jankowski circulated a petition calling on the university's Center for Campus Involvement to restore "American Sniper" to the UMix schedule. The university's football coach, Jim Harbaugh, weighed in on the controversy by tweeting that he would watch the movie with his team. Michigan Football will watch "American Sniper"! Proud of Chris Kyle & Proud to be an American & if that offends anybody then so be it! — Coach Harbaugh (@CoachJim4UM) April 9, 2015 Before Harper's statement, the Center for Campus Involvement had announced plans to show "American Sniper" in a separate location from the UMix program, in what it said would be "a forum that provides an appropriate space for dialogue and reflection." It was not immediately clear whether the "forum" would be part of the revived Friday night screening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted April 9, 2015 Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 well, that's another college irrational, liberal, knee jerk emotional reaction. But then the reality and honesty set in, and they reversed that decision. And good job for the coach to stand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 wait, was it the school or the students? If the students were like hey we're not sure cause in this day that kind of a gathering is a prime target for some crazy fucking jihadi....I mean hard to fault them isn't it? You could have the entire room armed too and one dude strolls in with a vest and detonates before anyone even really knows he's there....it's kind of hard to fault that. If it was my kid i'd be like yeah dude be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
