Students Force University to Cancel Screening of 'American Sniper'

Muslim, Middle Eastern and North African students at the University of Michigan were successful in their mission to cancel a campus screening of “American Sniper” – claiming the film promotes anti-Muslim rhetoric and made them feel unsafe.

The university had planned on showing the critically-acclaimed film about the life of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle on Friday. Instead, students will be treated to “Paddington” -- a PG rated flick based on the children's book about a stuffed Teddy bear.

Chris Kyle saved many Muslim lives in Iraq. No? Why the butthurt?

Were there safe rooms?  Please tell me there were safe rooms.  Bunch of pussies.

It got reduced because of the uproar

The University of Michigan yanked an upcoming screening of the Oscar-nominated drama American Sniper over student complaints but quickly did an about-face after news of the cancellation sparked a firestorm on campus.

The school tweeted out a statement saying the ‘decision to cancel not consistent w/high value @Umich places on freedom of expression.’ That tweet was linked to a statement by E. Royster Harper, the school's vice president for student life, acknowledging that it was ‘a mistake’ to call off the screening.

‘The movie will be shown at the originally scheduled time and location,’ Harper’s statement read. ‘We recognize, however, that some students are uncomfortable with the content of the movie, and appreciate that concern.

The student's petition, which was signed by hundreds of people, described the Navy SEAL sharpshooter, who was shot dead by a fellow Marine at a gun range last year, as a 'mass killer' and 'a racist who took a disturbing stance on murdering Iraqi civilians.'

The school's head football coach Jim Harbaugh responded to the movie controversy by tweeting that his team would watch the film

Whiny, liberal, hipster college kids have been attracting attention to themselves since the Sixties.

Why do so many people pay so much attention to these shitsticks? They know nothing of life, they're incapable of strategic and independent thought, and yet the LSM fawns on their every word.

What do you want ?
They're muslims.
Even if they aren't actually offended, the will claim to be.
Whatever undermines our culture and advances theirs.
