It's parody and designed to do exactly what it's done here, inflame those who are sporting for a fight. Why would anyone take this seriously?

The posting at the University was a troll.
And posting it here simply reverses the troll.

No one thinks that on the left or right. It is pure silly kid nonsense. It goes no where and has no support on any side.

Anyone who can provide proof that there is a real thing called "Social Justice Collective Weekly" that published this letter will get bonus point but until then, I remain skeptical about the origins of this.

Regardless of the true origin, the newsletter expresses leftist views, therefore the university recognizes it as protected free speech. Had it expressed right wing views, the university would of course have noted that hate speech is not free speech, that the right to free speech applies strictly to government censorship and that their duty to provide a safe learning environment for their students requires them to ban such views from campus.

We all use the trolls for our own purposes. Thing is -- trolls are trolls -- left or right.

That is not to say that veterans should not be allowed an education. Veterans should be allowed to attend trade schools, or maybe even community college. But, in order to protect our academic institutions we must ban veterans from four-year universities."

They can't even hide their hatred anymore, can they? I think the ones who posted this might be ISIS members.
Who, in this instance, is they?

Just a crank hate letter..supported by nobody, but given credence here, at C-D.

No..it does not, express 'Leftist views'.

If you are equating racist views with right wing viewpoints..that is your right..I don't--and I doubt that the University does either.

A newsletter praising Trump..expressing outrage over illegal immigration...advocating building the wall...extolling traditional roles for women, etc. would have no problem being posted. Heck, I bet you could even post one decrying the victim-hood of the white male via affirmative action.

Hate speech is something else.
