Newsletter Distributed on College Campus Calls for Banning Veterans
BY TOM KNIGHTON AUGUST 28, 2017

A newsletter distributed at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs says veterans shouldn't be in college:

The newsletter reads as follows:

"A four-year, traditional university is supposed to be a place of learning, of understanding, of safety and security. However, there is an element among us who may be frustrating those goals: Veterans.

UCCS is known for its number of veterans who are full and part-time students. But these veterans of much of the school prides themselves on may be hurting the university.

First off, many veterans openly mock the ideas of diversity and safe spaces for vulnerable members of society. This is directly in contradiction to the mission of UCCS. Many veterans utter the mantra that they, "do not see color". But the problem lies in their socialization into the military culture that is that of a white supremacist organization. They have been permanently tainted, and are no long fit for a four-year university.

Second, many students are frightened by the presence of veterans in their classrooms. Veterans usually have an overwhelming presence in the classroom, which can distract other students. This is usually true for vulnerable individual such as LGBTQQI2SAA, who have been known to be the butt of insensitive jokes made by veterans.

Amazing how ignorant some supposedly intelligent people can be. If they don't like UCCS's student population policy, they shouldn't have enrolled there.

That acronym alone makes me want to say this is parody, but sadly I have seen that exact acronym used in serious settings.

Very ignorant and sad.

"Many veterans utter the mantra that they, "do not see color". But the problem lies in their socialization into the military culture that is that of a white supremacist organization. They have been permanently tainted, and are no long fit for a four-year university." --- so because they served in the military, they are too damaged for further education? I suppose the solution would have been for no one to have been in our military? Where do they think this country would be if we hadn't had a military all these years?

It's profoundly stupid.

There can be no greater unifying desegregating experience than 13 weeks at Parris Island.
All band together to survive kill hat.
No white, black, etc. Only green.
