The University of Missouri students association confirmed that a campus screening of American Sniper would continue as originally scheduled after a Muslim student had protested the showing of the film earlier this month, calling it “blatant racist, colonialist propaganda.”

According to the Missourian, the film is scheduled to be shown on April 17 and 18 at the campus’s Wrench Auditorium as part of a regular campus film series.

However, in a March 3 letter to University of Missouri newspaper The Maneater, Farah El-Jayyousi wrote that Clint Eastwood’s film “dehumanizes Arabs and Muslims and encourages racism in society,” and referred to the film’s protagonist, Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, as a “killer with no regard for human life.”
