Guessing dialogue with faculty is pretty much one sided these days:

Thank God. Turner really needs to get his staff under control. Need to start firing these employees who think they can push their own political agenda on a student body.

What about the students trying to politicize a national tragedy?

How is it being politicized by the student body? The only one's who seemed to politicize it were the admin responsible for sending the first bungled message referencing "triggering" and "offending". If you think putting flags up for remembrance in the center of campus is politicizing or fighting to keep it there, you need to read up on the term "politicizing".

Everyone needs to remember that student groups across the complete political spectrum were bothered by this and in the open letter to the admin, not just YAF which leans right. It just so happens that their request was moved and sparked the whole discussion.

I guess Gerry can now plant and let his Freak Flag Fly in front of Dallas Hall on 9/11 instead of MoMac Park. :lol: He's such a snowflake.

They canceled the rally. Probably a great move, although seeing the anti whatever's walking all over the Aggie grass and interacting with the corp would have been hugely entertaining.
