"There's just one problem with that tidbit. Tsuruta lost most of his feet in an accident several years prior to this. In other words, he can't chase anyone, anywhere."--Tom Knighton |
It's on! A student group has been formed which will advocate for free speech on their campuses as the new school year begins. The activists plan to introduce resolutions in defense of free speech before their respective student councils. Their Statement of Principles is online here.
Star Parker points to the distribution of political donations by Harvard faculty as overwhelmingly leftist and then asks the obvious question: "Does this pronounced faculty bias make its way into the classroom?" The answer, of course, is a resounding yes. How can our sons and daughters possibly get the proverbial "well-rounded" education when the majority of their teachers are leftists?
When Saint Obama laid down his leftist & nonsensical standards for rape cases under Title IX, university fascists must have been delighted...the law no longer mattered, justice no longer mattered...all it took to destroy men accused of rape was a female willing to lay the complaint. No need for police involvement, just punish the alleged offender, kick his ass out of university, and virtue signal like mad.
Two stories from PJ Journalism's Tom Knighton today. First he tells the story of one victim of this fascist approach to justice, Koh Tsuruta, accused of rape while studying at Augustana University. One nagging problem for the university's Rape Police: the kid didn't do it, and he proved he didn't do it. The lad sued, but eventually dropped the suit:
The Argus Leader reports that Koh Tsuruta and the South Dakota private school have jointly agreed to dismiss his federal lawsuit against the university for expelling him
I certainly hope Mr. Tsuruta made a big hole in Augustana's bank account, but we'll never know - and he's still expelled.
Knighton's second report is a real knee slapper, and explains that Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history at Cornell University, suffers from Exploding Leftist Head Syndrome. Rickford, "who tweeted that all he wanted for Christmas was white genocide", now complains that when his tasteless racism is reported by the press, it somehow becomes "a system for repression."
Pull the other one, Russell. (While we pity your students...)

University students have been laying the groundwork over summer vacation for a fight for freedom of expression that they hope to take to student governments and administrations across the country.
A group named Students for Free Expression has representatives from 20 schools, including one in Mexico, that have committed to bringing resolutions in defense of free speech before their peers at the start of the fall semester.
#GreatDayToBeExpelled?
She said Tsuruta chased her down as she tried to leave his apartment. That’s an important nugget that the incompetent investigators ignored, particularly because she wasn’t exactly a credible person.
There's just one problem with that tidbit. Tsuruta lost most of his feet in an accident several years prior to this. In other words, he can't chase anyone, anywhere.
As one of many journalists who keep an eye out for ridiculously hateful things being spewed out of college professors' mouths these days, I've always viewed it as me doing a bit of a public service. After all, don't we all want to know what kind of things our children may be exposed to at college? My own son is a junior in high school, so this is incredibly relevant to my life, and I'm not alone.
It also seems that, according to a history professor at Columbia University, I'm also part of a system of repression.
Per findings of the Harvard Public Opinion Project, done at Harvard's Institute of Politics, 51 percent of college students say they "feel comfortable sharing my political opinions at my college without fear of censorship or negative repercussions."
Barely more than half of students feel comfortable expressing their political sentiments on campus -- that doesn't sound to me like an environment where priority is given to diverse thought and discussion.
What do Google, Evergreen State College, and Middlebury have in common?
A lot, apparently. They're filled with "snowflakes" -- those students (in Google's case, employees) who have such a high sensitivity to -- or is it inability to tolerate -- diversity of thought, they dissolve like so many, well, snowflakes. (Unlike real snowflakes, however, that are different one from the other, these snowflakes tend to be monotonously the same, spewing the same slogans and even wearing, basically, the same clothes.)
