3000 Americans were killed on America soil by terror, their dreams, talents and contributions taken before their time. The families, friends and loved once had to deal with the situation and their lives were forver changed. They are reminded even Sept 11th, from news networks. Yet, these snowflakes are the onces experiencing micro aggression and "triggering" episodes?

Just what are these schools teaching these future leaders about real life?

University moves 9/11 flag display to avoid triggering students

For the past two years, the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at Southern Methodist University displayed nearly 3,000 American flags on a prominent university lawn to remember those killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

But Old Glory won’t be posted on the Dallas Hall Lawn this year – even though the display had been well-received by the student body.


The university objected to the location of the display, citing a revised policy aimed at protecting students from “harmful or triggering” messages.

“While the University respects the rights of students to free speech, the University respects the right of members of the community to avoid messages that are triggering, harmful, or harassing,” the policy reads.

I reached out to Southern Methodist University to find out who could possibly take offense at a memorial honoring American citizens killed by Muslim terrorists. I had my suspicions, but I wanted to hear it from the university’s leadership.
