Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua puta te riri o tētahi whare wānanga o New York i muri i tana whakatārewatanga i te whakaaturanga o te kiriata American Sniper hei whakautu ki ngā amuamu a ngā ākonga Muslim. Kua whakamutua e te Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute i New York tana whakaaturanga i whakaritea mo te kiriata pakanga a Iraq e tautohetia ana i whakaritea mo te Paraire kua hipa. I kii tera ka whakaatu tonu i te kiriata kua tohua ki te Oscar engari me te huihuinga maatauranga e whai ake nei kia taea ai e nga akonga te korero mo te kiriata. Ko Bradley Cooper i roto i tana tūranga Oscar Nominated rite Chris Kyle, te sniper tino mate i roto i te hītori hōia US. Kua whakaroa e te Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (i te pikitia) i New York tana whakaaturanga i whakaritea mo te kiriata pakanga a Iraq e tautohetia ana i whakaritea mo te Paraire kua hipa. I whakamutua te kiriata na te mea kaore nga kaiwhakahaere matua o te kaareti i hiahia ki te hanga riri, te awangawanga ranei i waenga i ana akonga. Heoi anō, i te āhua nei he tino rerekē te mahi a rātau. Whai muri i nga amuamu mai i te RPI's Muslim Students Association, he maha nga akonga i kii ko te whakaroa he mahi taatai me te whakaeke ki te korero noa, i kii a Fox News. Ahakoa i whiwhi te pikitia i te katoa o te $540 miriona i whakahētia hoki mo tana whakaahuatanga o nga Iraqi. I whakamāramahia e tētahi tauākī mai i te whare wānanga te whāinga o te whakaaturanga, i te taha o te huinga mātauranga kua whakaritea inaianei, ko te tuku i ngā ākonga i roto i te hapori o te whare wānanga ki te "whakauru i roto i te kōrero hinengaro e pā ana ki te kiriata me ngā kaupapa o te ao o nāianei". Ko American Sniper, he kiriata na Clint Eastwood e pā ana ki te US Navy Seal, ko Chris Kyle te kaipatu tino kino i roto i te hītori o US, kua whakaekea e te tautohetohe mai i te tuatahi o te whakaaturanga i te US i te marama o Noema. Ahakoa i whiwhi te kiriata i te $ 540 miriona i te ao, i whakahe ano hoki i tana whakaahuatanga o nga Iraqi. I whakawakia hoki te kiriata mo te whakaoho i te mauahara iwi i muri i te whakaaturanga o te kiriata i arahi ki te piki haere o nga whakawehi ki nga Amerikana o te Middle Eastern me etahi whakaeke ki nga Mahometa i waho o nga whare pikitia. I te tīmatanga o tēnei marama ka huri te Whare Wānanga o Michigan mēnā ka whakaatuhia te kiriata ki tōna marae, kāore rānei....
I whakamutua e Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute te whakaaturanga whai muri i te amuamu. I whakahē te Rōpū Āpiha Āpiha o te Whare Wānanga ki te mahere ki te whakaatu i te American Sniper. Ko ētahi atu ākonga e kī ana ko te whakatārewatanga he ārai me te whakaeke ki te kōrero noa. Ka whakaatuhia te kiriata engari me te huinga mo te korerorero hei whai i te whakaaturanga.
