One of the students admitted to deleting messages due to the fear of getting in trouble with university administrators, &#8220;I deleted the last one what if he reports me to the school&#8221;.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same student said,\u201cMaybe I\u2019ll bully [Zelada-Rodas] again another day\u201d. \u201cI hate when mother f***ers who weren\u2019t even on active duty act all tough and rub in that they\u2019re a veteran. \u2018I fought for our country.\u2019 You were in Philadelphia, Steve,\u201d. The student, who goes under the username &#8220;cerealsock&#8221;, also fantasized that they would beat Zelda-Rodas in a fursuit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is shocking how students disrespect people who are fighting for their freedom. Unfortunately, another student advised that military members who are not on active duty and disagree with progressive viewpoints be dropped in the Korangal Valley, a place in Afghanistan where 42 American servicemen died fighting and hundreds of others were wounded and was nicknamed the &#8220;Valley of Death&#8221; by the American military, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe need to just drop them all in Korangal Valley. Then we can see how tough they are.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TPUSA students suspect that one of the students was Christian Lorenz, a member of the campus progressive group. He uses the same screen name on other social media profiles. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Members of CSUF\u2019s Turning Point USA chapter asked for the investigation of the College Progressives club for cyberbullying and harassment.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it would be the Turning Point USA club that was harassing and cyberbullying, they would be <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201charshly\u201d disciplined. Marcos said, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have called for immediate disciplinary actions without any leniency due to their political views that the university may share.\u201d \u201cI know if a conservative acted in such a way they would be held to the highest standard and disciplined harshly, as they should.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe do not condone deliberately hurtful language,\u201d President of the CSUF\u2019s College Progressives club Nicholas Stratos said. \u201cOur agreement is that any individual who acknowledges they\u2019ve broken rules faces removal from the Discord as well as the club itself.
