Most freshmen in college were only two or three years-old when the horrendous terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 took place. As such, many only remember what they’ve been taught in the classroom and the hallowed memory of such events is starting to fade amongst the youngest generation.
Patriotic students across the country, aided by groups like Young America’s Foundation, have worked to make sure that their fellow students “Never Forget” the events of that took place that day by creating on campus memorials and talking about our nation’s recent history with friends.
Even young Americans, however, were shocked that their professors at American universities failed to even mention the anniversary of the vicious attacks and took their surprise to Twitter.
These tweets came from students from across the country, including University of Pennsylvania, Seward County Community College in Kansas, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, Winona State University in Minnesota, and Black Hill State University in South Dakota.

Not even my politics professor awknowledged the fact that it was 9/11, which was disappointing ?

Not a single professor of mine took a moment out of class to remember the victims of 9/11 and I’m very disappointed

I think it’s pretty sad that my history professor did not even mention 9/11 I feel that is should be observed more.

I feel like after four classes today, one of which being a history course, at some point a professor should’ve at least mentioned 9/11

Had American history this morning and my professor didn’t even mention 9/11. Don’t understand how professors don’t even acknowledge it
