On Sunday, Jan. 29, the president of the University of Massachusetts, Marty Meehan, released a statement regarding President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration.
Meehan included in the statement that he is honored that UMass has thousands of international students and as a whole the campus is discouraged by the executive order, as it “violated the rights of members of the UMass community and many others.”
“Since the signing on Friday of the President’s Executive Order restricting entry to the U.S. by citizens of seven foreign countries, our International Students and Scholars offices, assisted by other staff from across our five campuses, have been working to connect with students, faculty and staff affected by this action and determine how to assist them,” Meehan said in the statement.

Of course, these are the snowflakes of Amherst so what else can be expected by a town of Peter Pans?
Looking for Muslim money at unmassUmass
Actually there are quite a few students nationally who've committed rampage killings and terrorist bombings.

Except the Moroccan one up in Canada who shot up the mosque, right?
Wow. Who would have ever expected to see demonstrations of over-the-top leftist political craziness in Amherst, MA of all places?
I’m stunned.
Nothing better to do to waste their parents’ money.
Khalid Sheik Mohammed was a college student.

There is no “ban” on Muslim people. If you are going to express an opinion or protest at least make yourself aware of the facts first.
