Loyola newspaper apologizes for calling suspected murderer an ‘illegal immigrant’ – College Fix

Facing backlash, the student newspaper edited the post to remove the term “illegal immigrant.” The newspaper refers to Medina as a “Rogers Park Resident.” The newspaper added in an editor's note, “No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that.”

Liberals like to say, no one is illegal. How about we say “immigrants who are here illegally?” That refers to their legal status, not their human status.

Would be interesting to know if the school admin “suggested” to the student paper that its terminology was “wrong”, or whether some indoctrinated students asked for the change.

So much for the University’s fake concern for the student or her family. All universities vomit BS about how much they care about your children. What they care about is your money and their marxist agendas. Nothing more.

So Loyola University is officially a woke university, showing preference to illegals, not their entire student body? Students should pull their tuition money and go to a university that represents all students.

Why don’t they talk about family separation in this case, 6 feet of dirt.

They should apologize. They should have called him an illegal alien…because that is exactly what he is.

For heaven’s sake, don’t upset the illegals friends and family or hurt his feelings by actually telling the truth.

If this is the future of mainstream media journalism, we can have its funeral right now.

This is not an isolated trend.

Just a few years ago, the Daily Northwestern “apologized” for reporting on student riots, because the rioters were all butt-hurt about having their names in the paper. And this was at a school that supposedly prides itself on its journalism school.
