(Newsweek) A Wisconsin college has outright denied claims it banned a group from posting a 9/11 memorial poster around campus because it would make Muslim students feel “singled out.”
The Young America’s Foundation (YAF) claimed that Ripon College told them they cannot distribute or hang flyers that commemorate 9/11 “or other victims of radical Islamist terrorism.” In an article on the Young America’s Foundation website, Spencer Brown wrote: “Ripon administrators will not allow the Ripon Young Americans for Freedom to hang the flyers.”
But according to Ripon College, no ban has been put in place. “Ripon does not have a posting policy, and thus never requires prior approval for posting,” communications vice president Melissa Anderson told Newsweek. “When these were posted last year, it led to a vigorous debate on campus, including counter postings.”
