The University of Michigan had canceled plans to screen the movie “American Sniper” because it might make students feel “unsafe.”

The university has reconsidered, with some caveats:

We're planning to show American Sniper in a separate forum that provides an appropriate space for dialogue & reflection. More info to come.

Will a rapid response team of psychologists will be available for anybody who needs trauma counseling during or following the screening?

.@UMInvolvement Funny. I thought college was a forum for dialogue and reflection.

@uminvolvement Unfortunate. As a place of "higher" learning, this was a real fumble. Why ask them to protect, yet shun their stories?

@UMInvolvement How about you tell your students to put on their big boy/big girl pants on and prep for the real world.
