During President Obama’s speech in Warrensburg, Missouri this past Wednesday, a group of 10 College Republicans were not allowed to witness the President’s speech because they were deemed a “security threat.” The group had been peacefully protesting in a “public speech” zone set far away from the location of the president’s speech, but had put their signs away before they got in line to see the president. The were however wearing patriotic and “tea party” garb. The horror.

Be sure to read MOCR Secretary Lindsey Kolb’s write up on the event here.

In response to the outcry and coverage of the controversy from various media outlets including FoxNews, The College Fix, National Review, and Campus Reform, the University of Central Missouri, where the even was held, released a statement.

*Note that they didn’t actually answer my original question*

So instead of valuing the concerns of their students, UCM chose to reject their tale. If students (with tickets) are being turned away at a university event because of political affiliation, shouldn’t that be..you know, addressed? It’s utterly disrespectful to respond to claims of discrimination with “you’re lying.” Switch out political affiliation for race, sexuality, or gender. Do you really think UCM would be ok with discrimination then? Again, the students HAD tickets and were still turned away. See below:

In this case, “you lie,” isn’t an acceptable response. The College Republicans and the UCM student body as a whole deserve more. Until then, however, CRs don’t plan on backing down. Treasurer Courtney Scott appeared on the Laura Ingrahm Show and Chair A.J. Feather appeared on Fox News’ America Live. Unfortunately for UCM and the president, this controversy isn’t going away anytime soon.
