SMU Sadly Smug ?

Southern Methodist University apparently does not deserve recognition as "Southern" or "Methodist" or "University".

Its admistrative authorities in Dallas  have barred the  Young Americans for Freedom from "planting"  nearly 3000 American flags on the main quadrangle of the campus to memorialize Islamic attacks that killed that many in the World Trade Center September 11, 2001.

The demonstration, which has proceeded decorously for the past eight years, was deemed by the SMU power structure to be "possibly hurtful" and "triggering" to frighten or discomfort some in the  "SMU community".

It is certainly within the purview of a private school to "police" its environment.

It is also the right of Methodists and other philanthropists everywhere to temper their generosity with common sense in the future.

This is the same "University" that trashed a Texan named Smith for heroic action in a volatile situation on the assumption that "Smith" was white and did injury to a nonwhite.

It turned out that "Smith" was an American-born of Asian extraction (a much smaller and more vulnerable "diversity" group).

But, inthe USA,  Academe has morphed into a sissy / prissy Fascist determinism promising to trample and erase any evidence anywhere of glorious and gleeful  free expression.

And how many of these acrobatic atheistic  arbiters know that their ilk and the expunging from power of their ilk were the primary reasons for the establishment of the first  "University" in old Padua, centuries and centuries ago ?
