Please Sign: Open Letter to President Trump on Army War College’s Surrender to Islamists

The National Association of Scholars (NAS), “the leading organization of scholars and citizens committed to higher education as the catalyst of American freedom,” has come forth in my support and written an open letter to the President of the United States.
The signatories, most of whom are academics, call President Trump’s attention to the US Army War College’s recent capitulation to CAIR/Linda Sarsour and “urge you to use the ‘bully pulpit’ of the presidency to call on USAWC Commandant Gen. John Kem and Provost Dr. James Breckenridge to restore Raymond Ibrahim’s lecture.”
The letter appears on a NAS page titled, “Disinviting Scholarship: An Open Letter in Support of Free Inquiry at the U.S. Army War College.” Below is the note that precedes NAS’s open letter:
Editor’s note: The National Association of Scholars invites scholars and members of the public to sign this petition in support of Raymond Ibrahim. Ibrahim was invited to speak at the United States Army War College (USAWC) as part of its 2019 Perspectives in Military History Lecture Series. USAWC, however, has “postponed” Ibrahim’s appearance indefinitely after the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) complained that he is “biased.” The “postponement” is, in fact, a disinvitation that reflects USAWC’s eagerness to appease a group that claims to represent Muslim-American sensitivities. Capitulating to CAIR by censoring Ibrahim is not in the educational interests of America’s present and future military leaders.
The USAWC has created a dangerous precedent for institutions of military education. The National Association of Scholars is petitioning the White House to call on the USAWC to reverse its decision, and to set up procedures to prevent such disinvitations in the future. In the letter below we lay out our reasoning and our resolutions. If you agree with these, we urge you to sign.

Raymond Ibrahim is a Judith Friedman Rosen Fellow at the Middle East Forum

Ross, you certainly banged the drum for our American Independence Day.
I had heard of some of these many American news things you posted on and some were new to me.
Some I am not sure if I wholly agree with you, but this about appeasing CAIR, yes, I will sign up.
CAIR are not people who should be dictating to anyone who can speak or not speak, where or when.

This letter should be signed by millions.
CAIR is a dangerous enemy agency.
They should be closed down.
The War College is cowardly and should be ashamed of their shut-down of Ibrahim, and more ashamed of hiding the shut-down as a ‘postponement.’
