ایرانیان هرگز این تصمیم سیاسی را فراموش نمی کنند! مردم ایران در روز آزادی به یاد خواهند آورد که چه ملت هایی با آنها همبستگی کردند.
Iranians will never forget this political decision! On the day of liberation, the Iranian people will remember which nations stood in solidarity with them.
Die Iraner werden diese politische Entscheidung nie vergessen! Am Tag der Befreiung wird sich das iranische Volk daran erinnern, welche Nationen solidarisch a seiner Seite standen.
برای آینده ایران هیچ گزینه ای مناسب تر از شاهزاده وجود ندارد. شخصیت برجسته ایشان و اشراف ایشان به مسائل سیاسی و اجتماعی و جهانی و از همه مهمتر عشق ایشان به وطن و عدم ناامیدی بعد از این همه سال دوری و تداوم مبارزه با درایت که موجب جذب میلیونها انسان آگاه و با شعور شده، ایشان را در جایگاه یک رهبر و مدیر شایسته برای ایرانی آزاد و دموکرات قرار میدهد.
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding your decision to prevent Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi from holding his conference in Munich. This decision undermines human rights and silences the voices of countless individuals suffering under the oppressive regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In Iran, men, women, and children live in constant fear for their safety. There is no safe place for anyone who dares to ask for basic human rights; they face imprisonment or execution without reason. For 45 years, the regime has brutally silenced the innocent, torturing and killing those who oppose them.
We look to Germany, a nation of freedom, to stand in solidarity with us. Crown Prince Pahlavi represents hope and the collective voice of all Iranians seeking justice. By silencing him, you inadvertently support the very regime that threatens global peace and stability.
I urge you to reconsider your decision and support the Iranian people in their struggle for freedom and dignity. We need your voice alongside ours as we fight for a better future.

Kristi Noem has done irreparable damage to minorities in the entire country as well as in South Dakota. South Dakota has the highest rate of depression in LGBTQ+ youth, partially due to her actions. She ran her campaign to be governor her first term with strong anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. She also attacks the rights of trans individuals at every opportunity she can.
All of this on top of all the other controversies listed in the petition and other signees. Awarding her an honorary degree is endorsing her actions, policies, corruption, etc and betraying the large LGBTQ+ and other minority population that DSU holds.
If DSU has any respect for its minority faculty and students, it will rescind this offer.
As someone born and raised in South Dakota, I'm astounded that DSU would discard their values in this way. As an institution of higher learning, DSU should be seeking to give their graduates an example of someone who lives the values of truth and humanitarianism. Kristi Noem has shown several times over she is the antithesis of that. South Dakotans care for our neighbors, and Kristi Noem does not.
As someone who grew up in SD, and has personally met Noem, she is not someone that we should be honoring in anyway. She has done so much to damage the lives of minorities in SD and has ran her campaigns on hatred. Your students deserve to hear a speech from someone who cares about future generations and minority groups, someone who will uplift and inspire you students and graduates to lead America into a better, brighter and more inclusive future. Noem is NOT that person.
I am opposed to Kristi Noem being the speaker at DSU's graduation as well as her receiving a honorary degree from the institution due to her unethical behavior as SD Govenor. While Govenor of SD, Kristi promoted her own family and agenda, no big surprise there! She also did it while trying to hide it from the general public- government is supposed to have some transperancy, as Govenor, Kristi did not.
Also, Kristi used state apporved transportation to further the Republican agenda, not neccessarily working for the good of SD. She also left the tab to be picked up by the state of SD residents instead of the National Republican party.
I also am opposed to Kristi speaking at DSU's graduation for her disreguard of basic human values. She has taken her new role as Sec. of Homeland Security to a whole new level of targeting people of vulernable groups, and enjoying it as well!. She has in the past spouted her Christian values but is living a life of hipocracy. She is rounding up and aiding in the rounding up of people of color, denying them their rights to defend themselves, to face their accussors and have due process played out for them.
DSU has a good number of international students, will they feel safe to partake in their graduation ceremonies? Will ICE agents be coming with Kristi to speak? And how many students, that have worked hard for their education, have earned the right to receive their degree will lose out on their family members being there to celebrate with them as they graduate, if Kristi is to receive her honorary degree? When she received her degree from SDSU- students and their families lost allotted seats for family members, because Kristi took more than her share of allotted seats- again, she takes what she doesn't earn! (I know that I am more sensitive to this last comment, because I too lost my dad- when I was 18. My brother, my mother & I all kept the family farm going even while we were in three different colleges and universities at the time. We came home each weekend and got a week's worth of farm work done before going back to school. My mom & I were undergrads and my brother was in Vet school. You can ACTUALLY do it, go to school, graduate with honors and save the family farm!)
