Most things can be "debated" using some civility, but not racism. Back in reality, an obvious example of this is when a KKK white supremacist runs into a black person on the streets. Call me crazy, but a civil debate isn't likely to ensue.
Student Worker Teacher Alliance (SWTA, the largest unregistered student organization at UTSA responsible for organizing the protest against Chris Simcox) isn't going to be as active this semester due to various conflicting obligations.
But we "invite those of you who want to spark more discussion on this campus" to get together with your friends and discuss current events, class struggle, capitalist wars, etc. and work towards creating a better world for all the workers.
UTSA may seem like an overwhelming conservative place, but these creeps are heavily outnumbered by reasonable and logical people that are willing to work collectively to combat oppression and greedy progressions. Here's my suggestion: ignore the confused 9/11 conspiracy theorists and attention-hungry atheists. Fight back!

This is one of the more lengthy rants about nothing in particular that I've read. Kind of reminds me of the president of Iran's speech at Columbia.
Based on this Marxist-Leninist critique of conservatism and YCT, it is clear that Red Smith has paid attention in his classes at UTSA. (Continued…)

I think mr. smith has made some very important points concerning the YCT.
Given YCT's pervious position on free speech, i find it odd that they would protest the recent appearence of the leader of Iran at Columbia University. (Continued…)

I don't care much about YCT one way or the other, they may have brought Simcox to UTSA to speak, but bringing The Iranian President who is himself a known terrorist (He was one of the men who held students hostage in Iran so long ago)is a different story. (Continued…)
