LEFT WING LOONS Title: Newsletter Distributed on College Campus Calls for Banning Veterans 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. Finally, veterans usually are associated with extremists right-wing groups such as the tea party and the NRA. In order to provide a safe place for all students, extremist right-wing groups must be suppressed on campus. This would include their followers: veterans. That is not to say that veterans should not be allowed an education. Veterans should be allowed to attend trade schools, or maybe even community college. But, in order to protect our academic institutions we must ban veterans from four-year universities." Oh, there is so much awful here. Yes, veterans mock safe spaces. Especially the current batch of veterans who spent time being shot at in Iraq and Afghanistan. They're not sympathetic to the idea that people might need a place to hide for fear of being looked at wrong. Veterans aren't mocking diversity in and of itself: after all, the military integrated prior to the rest of the nation, and it's one of the most diverse bodies in the country. What veterans mock is the idea that diversity matters more than anything else. Something we all learn in the military is that competence matters more than skin color. Everything does. Just treat people as individuals. I can't help but laugh at the idea that the military is a white supremacist organization. The entity that named Gen. Colin Powell as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. This newsletter was apparently written in defense of people who are afraid of veterans on campus. I hate to break it to them, but there are veterans everywhere. They're in almost every business, often succeeding in key roles because of their leadership and selflessness. If you feel unsafe, that's on you. Because you're safer with veterans than anyone else. Further, veterans like myself served to protect these snowflakes' right to free speech, and this is protected as that. However, make no mistake, none of us care that you're bothered. Poster Comment: What a load of horse shit shoveled off Satan's manure wagon! As a veteran this is too insulting to ex-military who pay the taxes that keep the University of Colorado open to the pot-headed Hillary zombies. contrary to the egg-headed thought: Diversity is NOT America's greatest strength. Lumping queers and other assorted misfits in with Negroes and other legitimate minorities is utterly incensing to many of us.

The newsletter is NOT from the University of Colorado. Rather, it's from an outside source. The headline is very misleading (my guess intentionally so) in order to stir up anger or as clickbait. pjmedia should be ashamed.
you don't, by any chance, have the outside source do you? I thought not.
Nope. My only point was that it was NOT a newletter published by the University of Colorado.
