YouTuber Charles Cather, an American blogger based in Novi Sad, Serbia, led the campaign to remove a section of a lecturer's presentation that described the murder of Bosnian Muslims by a Serbian guard.

The following day, Mr Cather uploaded another video celebrating that the university had removed the course material and sent an email to him to apologise.In screen grabs of the email from Victoria University shared on Mr Cather's YouTube page, the university said the course material had been reviewed and immediately removed.

“It recently came to our attention that you have removed content from one of your classes regarding war crimes and dehumanisation of Bosniaks during the genocide campaign carried out by Serb forces during the 1990s,” he wrote in the letter.

We will never forget this genocide! Shame on you Victoria University!

I'd rather the pursuit of truth over the feelings of an a historical random blogger.

ShakingStick It has acted after a number of complaints. One imagines ones from detached students carried greater weight.

What. The. Fuck.

You might be getting an email from Germany. Better get the liquid paper out you cowards.

fuck

So we’re all meant to act like Srebrenica never happened? Get rekt

Unbelievable 🤦🏻‍♀️ PaveJusup croatiaheritage IVukic

Victoria university, censoring atrocities committed by monsters when we should be fighting for justice rallyforherjustice. The victims deserve a voice, don't censor them.

declanmartin75 Shit like this is why no one regards Vic Uni as an actual uni.

Poor form, victoriauninews

Safe spaces for murderers!

Yikes.

WTF

Funny, I was just saying yesterday to my wife who’s studying to upgrade from early childhood development to a teacher, universities are just an indoctrinating money grabbing institution. Did I forget to say extreme left pushing sheep? Shame that some jobs need this.

Is Victoria University Canadian or Australian?

Ahhhh always the weak socialist state of VIC....

That's unacceptable

Wtf!

Muslims always playing the victim. Yawn.

Don't bow to bully. Fight back If you can't fight alone, join others.

“History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books-books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, 'What is history, but a fable agreed upon?”

There you go DanielAndrewsMP , your state is already high on censorship, another trait borrowed from your high command, Xi Jinping of China 😁

Back to burning books and rewriting history.

Ridiculous

unswstatecrime i remember from the class readings: Erasure of the event as the final 'stage' of genocide

Whats next victoriauninews - apologising to Nazi's? fail TruthMatters

It happens more than you think.

So VictoriaUniversity’s course-content decisions are now driven by... some random guy on YouTube?

More leftie bullshit !

We don’t want to upset mass murderers do we?

Victoria University has had so many 'spill and fills' that I doubt anyone is left that thinks further than next week.

History will not be overwritten

“We apologise for any hurt that the use, or removal of this quote may have caused.'

What? Cowards.

if the event happened as described, there's no reason to remove it. It's possibly even helpful in driving home the point that perfectly ordinary people are capable of truly horrible acts in some circs. I'm sure Germans don't like anyone describing heinous German acts either.

I’m sure the blogger will be less than happy to know SBS have included the quote in this article. So instead of being seen by students in the course material, it is now published in the media. Censorship doesn’t really work, does it? Denial and cover up is the modern approach

What if a pro-German blogger wanted to remove referrals to the Holocaust?

Bosnian Muslims have long been a cause of trouble in the Balkans - the peace-loving Buddhists in Myanmar have similar problems.

That’s disgusting 😡
