MT. PLEASANT - A Central Michigan University Republican student group is apologizing for a Valentine’s Day card that mocks Jews who died in the Holocaust.

The College Republicans group handed out gift bags to students Wednesday night, including one with a card that said “my love 4 u burns like 6,000 jews.” It had a photo of Adolf Hitler and was signed “XOXO, Courtney.”

The group apologized on Facebook, saying it doesn’t condone anti-Semitism and that the card was made and placed in the bag without its knowledge. The group didn’t identify the member who placed the card in the bag.

Central Michigan spokeswoman Sherry Knight told Mt. Pleasant’s local paper, The Morning Sun, that the school is “deeply disappointed.” She says campus leaders are meeting Thursday to discuss the incident.


..REALLY Courtney? really?

Looks like race baiting. Millenials are notorious leftists. Sure there are some good ones. They will apologize by saying, Hey don't you get it??? It was just sarcasm.....no its not. It's a complete insult to 6 million human beings were deleted by a psycho know as Hitler. I think their just being ignorant and child like.

Statement from Central Michigan University President George E. Ross

We are deeply disappointed by last night’s situation with a Valentine card containing an inappropriate sentiment that was produced during a student organization meeting. This is not who we are as a campus community.

Such hurtful, offensive language, while protected by the First Amendment, is unacceptable and is not consistent with our values and standards.

Leaders from the president’s and provost’s offices, Office for Civil Rights and Institutional Equity, Office of Institutional Diversity, Student Affairs, Student Activities and Involvement and the CMU Police Department met first thing this morning to review the situation and determine next steps. OCRIE has launched a formal inquiry, and OID will develop additional educational efforts for the campus community.

We caution against concluding that the action is representative of the entire student organization or its members and remind all that threatening others as a result of such an incident can have legal consequences.

We once again urge each of our students, faculty and staff to be beacons of peace, respect, inclusivity and civility — to be role models of integrity, dignity and leadership.

At Central Michigan University, we stand up against hate, protect the safety of all, and build bridges of understanding that bring people together.

It's quite possible that this is a false flag, and the person who made the card wasn't even a republican. Like the Black Lies Matter activist who posted her own 'hate speech' against her own group, in order to manipulate the sheep-like leftist students into supporting her Black Lies Matter marches and such.


" The group didn’t identify the member who placed the card in the bag. "

Until they prove that it was in fact a member, this is speculation.

even if the person is republican, unless encouraged on some official republican platform,,,or unless it has a strong correlation in some way to other republicans,

it only indites the individual who chose the action,,,,

So if someone told her to do cause may be a republican the person saying to do it shares responsibility but of if not a republican then it doesn't matter if someone said to do it (theme of past posts iwii) but if no one told them to then actions are her own?????

Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Independent.. doesn't matter. This was a deplorable act done by a few people who really need to be made to know the ramifications of their actions.

Frankly it was disgusting.

I don't hold a school or a political group responsible for this.. I hold the people who did this responsible for this.

There's a lot of this kind of thing going around these days.

Democrat haters have been likewise pretending that ALL Democrats (or "liberals") are represented every time ONE of them does something stupid or repulsive, too.

I just wish that everyone here who postures self-righteously against this injustice, would hear their own words very loud again, next time they are about to do the same thing to the people THEY don't like.
