College Reform reports the University of Maryland student government to pledge solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran

Student leaders at the University of Maryland-College Park (UMCP) have reportedly introduced a new resolution pledging solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Members of the Student Government Association (SGA)—which represents the student body—introduced the resolution on March 4 following joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on the dictatorial regime in Iran. The resolution condemns American intervention in Iran.

“The SGA calls upon the US, Israel, Iran, and all other involved international parties to establish an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East,” reads the resolution, in part. It also condemns the January capture of Venezuelan dictator and cartel gangbanger Nicolás Maduro, who was arrested on charges of international drug trafficking. It reads, in part, “The SGA condemns unprovoked US military intervention against Iran, Venezuela, and all countries around the world.”  “The SGA stands in solidarity with all Iranian victims of US and Israeli strikes, as well as state repression, and their loved ones,” it continues.

Despite the fact that Iranians worldwide celebrated the coordinated strikes and subsequent Feb. 28 death of dictator Ayatollah Khamenei, the resolution feigns support for Iranians’ right to “self-determination” of their own political futures “without foreign interference or coercion.” Yet, social media is flooded with videos of the Iranian people thanking the administration of President Donald Trump for taking decisive action.

Finally, the resolution calls on the university to divest from any and all entities “responsible for the manufacture and distribution of arms used in unlawful strikes against Iran and Venezuela to the US and Israel.”

As far as current information confirms, the resolution has not yet been voted on.

If any of these "student leaders" are foreign citizens they need to be deported forthwith. Although, it is quite likely Iran is already attacking their home country.
