ACLU official furious at university for accepting Nick Sandmann, calls it a 'stain' on the school: report
An American Civil Liberties Union official in Kentucky was enraged over the weekend to learn that Transylvania University had accepted Nicholas Sandmann as a student, calling the move a "stain" on the institution.

Sandmann made headlines in January 2019 when a Native American activist stood in front of the teen and began chanting in his face during a pro-life rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Sandmann, who was wearing a MAGA hat at the time and is a supporter of President Trump, held his ground and smiled as the man continued to talk in his face.

“Does anyone else think it’s a bit of a stain on Transylvania University for accepting Nick Sandman [sic]? I’m sure it’s a 'both sides' defense, but it’s pretty counter to their mission and another instance of there not actually being equal sides to an issue,” the ACLU’s Samuel Crankshaw wrote in a since-removed Facebook post, according to The National Review.

Following the D.C. confrontation, outlets such as CNN and The Washington Post were accused of purposely casting Sandmann -- and his fellow Covington Catholic High School students -- as the main aggressors with misleading reporting. Both outlets ultimately reached a legal settlement with Sandmann after he sued them for $250 million. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
