Have the thieves been punished in any way?
Anna Shireman-Grabowski, a Middlebury Collegesophomore, presents a petition to Patrick Norton, chief financial officer
>>Anna Shireman-Grabowski, a sophomore at Middlebury College, who led the charge Tuesday said they have had a lot of trouble reaching college officials regarding the issue. She said they tried to approach the college in March to start a dialogue, but efforts have been thwarted at every turn.
What kind of pussies just stand around and watch this shit happen? Today's Vermonters, I guess.
The Abenaki tribute fought along with King Philip and were a bunch of serial killing savages. No possible act of desecration could go far enough for these savages in my opinion. A permanent memorial should go up on that campus to honor the settlers who were viciously murdered by this tribe and the Wampanoags. The settlers did NOT start that war.
>>More than 200 colleges and high schools across the nation participated in Young America's Foundation's 9/11: Never Forget Project. Students came together to establish an American flag memorial on campus consisting of 2,977 flags representing each person murdered in the terrorist attacks.
Unfortunately, five student protesters at Middlebury College ripped the flags out of the ground before 3:00 pm. The 9/11: Never Forget Project has been an annual nonpartisan event at Middlebury College for the past ten years. By participating in the 9/11: Never Forget Project, students honor the victims of the attacks, as well as honor the American principles for which they died. Middlebury student groups spent nearly two hours setting up the flag display yesterday morning. The protesters told Ben Kinney, president of the conservative club on campus, they were "confiscating" the flags in protest of "America's imperialism."
The protesters refused to compromise with the students because the flags were supposedly located on an "Indian burial ground and you can't have anything penetrating the Earth."
[YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING--me]
By removing the display of 2,977 flags, not only did the five protesters disrespect their fellow students who worked hard on setting up the display, but they also took away the chance for other students to remember the victims of the horrific attacks 12 years ago. These five student protesters should be immediately sent to diversity training regarding respect for others' freedom of speech. What they did was neither noble nor righteous, it was irrational and disrespectful. Each of them should apologize for dismantling a beautiful display honoring American heroes.
UPDATE: The vandals were quick to reference their heritage, but in an email to the Huffington Post the school's director of public affairs, Sarah Ray, admitted it has "never before been suggested that this is a Native American burial ground." We have grown tactlessly familiar with leftists, such as Elizabeth Warren and Ward Churchill, hiding behind made-up Native American backgrounds to cover their own prejudice toward others. Two of the vandals have published statements on Climate-Connections.com only proving their intolerance.
What about grass & tree roots? Earthworms? Grubs? are those okay? Sheesh!
BTW -- I am an American Indian (Pamunkey) and I still think this is stupid plus!
I don’t see the address for her tee pee, did I miss that?
Middlebury College has been long known as a liberal/communist cesspool. It’s amazing a few token Republicans survive there.
This idiot needs to be institutionalized.
I guess using capital letters and not making up words would be “acting white”....
1. Each of these mutants should be charged with vandalism and tresspassing.
2. If students they should be expelled.
3. If faculty they should be fired.
4. All should be required to take sensitivity traing and pay a large fine.
The term “settler colonist” is used by several of these disrespectful intolerant goons which suggests it is something they learned in some minority studies course. IYAM all these courses do is promote anti-americanism and hatred. If I were king they would all be shut down.
Then HOW did the Indians get buried, if you can't have anything penetating the earth? My God, the stupidity!
I always though it was the Plains Indians and adjoining tribes who did burials in the sky, not the ones in East.
...Indian burial ground and you can’t have anything penetrating the Earth.”
Like a building that’s steel was erected by Mohawk Indians? The WTC was one of their proudest accomplishments and it’s now gone due to terrorists.
