Report: 13 DePaul students admit tearing down memorial to aborted babies
“It is a sad thing to see that liberal-minded students aren’t tolerant and don’t respect the views of those who respect the lives of the unborn,” Del Campo said at the time…
Connolly’s report lists the names of the 13 students he said admitted to wrecking the display.
“The above students all admitted in person to participating in the removal of the pink and blue flag display from the quad on January 22, 2013,” Connolly wrote. “They stated they are classmates, and had seen anti-abortion posters around campus earlier in the day that they found offensive. They had an emotional discussion prior to class, and after class they all walked out to the quad together. They then started pulling up all the flags and put them in garbage cans and carried some off to their next class.”

Offensive: Things in which I disagree and especially when it reminds me just how inhumane I am.

Hmmm and at the country’s largest Catholic University.

What is wrong with these people?

Because the First Amendment guarantees that I not be offended, at least if I am a member of protected/designated liberal group.

They’ve been taught there is only one way to think about many social issues. They become confused/angry/violent when someone dares challenge their beliefs.

These moronic students did this as they admitted after a classroom discussion.
1. The students should be expelled or made to go to a remedial constitution class.
2. The charlatan, who is the “professor” of this class, should be fired or made to take a remedial constitution class.
3. This class was obviously one of the feelgood classes such as womyn’s studied. All classes of this type should be removed from the curriculum.
The Catholic church should fire the management of the school. There have been other liberul intimidation problems at this school in the past, and I don’t suppose the administration is of a mind to do anything about it. All you alums – don’t give and tell them why.

Well — at least they are consistent. Each flag represented a baby, and they put the flags in the trash.

Seriously… I think we need a national movement/campaign to just remind people that it’s OK to disagree. It’s OK to have different opinions. You don’t have to hate and stone someone the moment your realize they don’t think like you do.
Now I realize it’s the left who does this… got that. But the mindless robots/low info voters need to see a few commercials that say “We live in America. It’s OK to disagree. We have more than just diverse skin colors.. we also have diverse opinions.”

They should be made to recreate another memorial under the direct supervision of the original student.

The highest liberal value — their own offense.
Paul-Cincy on February 7, 2013 at 9:25 PM
Free speech for me, not for thee.
John the Libertarian on February 7, 2013 at 9:42 PM
Expel them for a semester and let them think about their intolerance.
NeoKong on February 7, 2013 at 9:54 PM
They should be expelled. Why in the world did they go to a Catholic U?

Liberals are getting more and more disgusting. The fascism inherent in liberal ideology is now making it to mainstream actions.
It’s quite disturbing.
The LA Times had a story on the Barney Cam and the comments on that story are unreal.
ButterflyDragon on February 7, 2013 at 10:20 PM
Sad, yes. Unusual? Hardly.
tom on February 7, 2013 at 10:47 PM
Disturbing, oh yes but I welcome it. The MSM can’t hide their ugliness forever.

I used to put up posters for the Republican Club, Catholic Student Association, and Right to Life on the dorm bulletin boards at my college (an elitist, Northeastern school) every Thursday morning (Thursdays were the official “postering” day).
My tolerant, enlightened, liberal classmates would usually have them torn down by Thursday evening. The Right to Life ones would barely last the morning.
But of course, all of the anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-religion signs went unmolested.
The Daily Caller seems to think these types of incidents are rarer than they actually are.

It’s a Catholic college but I guess Chicago trumps Catholic.
It’s a lost cause. I college kids are so wicked and dumb that they think this is…. I can’t even complete this comment. Once upon a time these F*kn brats would have condemned by EVERYONE. I just can’t relate to this new way of thinking. Are most of the kids zombie vampires with abortion blood lust? We treat mangy house cats with more respect. Is there a door I could walk through and end up in a less sick society. The muzzlems have a point. Sorry, judeo christians but a lot of your kids are sickos.

As a college student, I don’t think it was right for them to tare down that sign. Regardless of beliefs there are other ways, perhaps those students could have put up a poster for the anniversary of Roe.

Wow, you seem genuine.
Google “Sanger” and “Eugenics”. Sanger was a HERO to the folk that pushed for a constitutional right to abortion.
Here http://www.nyu.edu/projects/sanger/webedition/app/documents/show.php?sangerDoc=238946.xml
When Sanger was pushing Eugenics(having a central authority cull-select the best of the species- from the population ) was really the latest coolest leftist fad. Sanger was/is loved by the abortion proponents. See if you agree with her take?
Then, think about how young adults chose not to have a kid because it will interrupt the drinking and partying
If you put this generation up against all the other(from the caves till now) this one would be considered the most ridiculous.
Back in the old old days , when you were 14 you were getting your sh*t together. Now, you can be 35 and still be “playing the field”. That’s retarded. Seriously Oliver, and now I consider you a good friend, If you have an abortion, then it’s horrible and sad , in my opinion, but if you are having(not you particularly) more then one abortion in your life (for convenience) then that’s sick. I mean , doesn’t the new generation have any empathy for the innocent? Do you all really believe it’s just tissue. When is it worth life? I think a 22 yr old is inferior to a fetus. A fetus is just getting along. A 22 yr old is the height of insecure BS. WHy abort the the fetus and not the Ahole 22 yr old? Just free associating here buddy.
OK, I’m done — Ed, ban me if you must.
