Today’s blacklisted American: Students demand professor be fired for stating a fact
Professor Christy Hammer: targeted for blacklisting by students
Persecution is now cool! After decades of quiet effort by leftists to eliminate all conservative teachers from the halls of education, we are now seeing the results: Students at the University of Southern Maine are boycotting the classes of one education professor, Christy Hammer, while also insisting she should be fired, simply because she stated in class this basic fact of biology: that there are only two sexes.
Almost the entire class of 22 students walked out, all except one, demanding a meeting to be held with the university’s School of Education and Human Development.
Elizabeth Leibiger, who is non-binary, said she felt ‘under personal attack’ after Professor Hammer said there were only two sexes. “I let her know I didn’t think she was qualified to teach a class about positive learning environments. It’s the ultimate irony,” Leibiger said to Fox News.
A restorative justice meeting was held, but Professor Hammer’s position didn’t change. Two dozen graduate students in the class continued to demand that the university replace Hammer, believing her to be transphobic. Students are now refusing to return to the classroom in which she teaches and will only attend class if a new educator be appointed.
The class is a requirement to complete the graduate-level Extended Teacher Education Program and become a certified teacher in Maine. [emphasis mine]
The university has refused to comply with the students’ demand that Hammer be fired. At the same time, its administrators are also pandering to these thuggish students. First of all, what the heck is “a restorative justice meeting” other than a typical Orwellian 2-minute hate session for these childish students to throw a tantrum. For the college to play that game is shameful. Nor did the college’s pandering end there:
“We have developed an alternative plan for this class and will be opening a new section of this course for those students who would like to move. The original section taught by professor Hammer will continue for any student who wishes to remain in that class,” a university spokesperson said.
With such close-minded intolerant attitudes, none of these protesting students should ever be allowed anywhere near any classroom. If they can’t handle being taught by this teacher, they should simply be told they won’t qualify for their teaching licenses. Public education will be better off.
Nor will the college suffer should it take this hard-nosed position. A petition in support of Hammer quickly obtained 2,000 signatures.
The biggest irony is that, based on Hammer’s own Twitter feed, she is very clearly leftwing in her politics, as indicated by this statement that leads her feed:
K-12 education; sociology; anthropology; history; politics; psychology; socialism; human/civil rights; higher ed. Holy trinity of race, sex, and class.
I would not be surprised if she has herself participated in the decades-long effort to blackball conservatives from college-teaching positions. She is now inheriting the wind from that effort. The next generation has been well taught. It can no longer can handle hearing opinions and facts it doesn’t like, and responds immediately like Stalinist thugs when challenged, aggressively acting to destroy anyone in their path, even leftists.
Nor is there any hope that these badly taught students might possibly be taught some tolerance, if the adults in the room are so timid they cannot stand up to this narrow-mindedness.
We are clearing witnessing the arrival of the coming dark age.

Why are students allowed to direct the teaching of any Professor?
Suck it up buttercup like conservative students have had to do for years.
Watch the Malone video, who knew Tulsi was a graduate of the WEF?
https://thetruedefender.com/dr-malone-demands-details-on-wef-from-tulsi-gabbard/
Is there no limit to the clown world of the snowflakes? She/they/thul professor included. There’s so much WTF just in that summary that I can’t even. (that’s snowflake lingo, I can blend in with those people).
I would give them the F they so richly deserve.
They are basically saying “teach us only what we want to hear”.
What do you know. You buy them their books and send them to school to learn something, but at the first sign of reality they reject it in favor of their fantasy.
The students have now conflated gender and sex. These used to be separated so that they could be distinguishable from each other, but these students have been so poorly educated that they think that they are the same phenomenon. They have been so poorly taught that they think that they can make their own fantasies reality just by demanding them to be so.
This may work in the fantasy art-world of the X-Men, but it does not work in the real world of science, engineering, technology, and mathematics.
Aren’t you glad you don’t fly on the airplanes that these kids make?
Edward wrote, “Aren’t you glad you don’t fly on the airplanes that these kids make?”
In this particular case, these kids are working to become licensed teachers, and the college is doing everything it can to convince them that their fantasies are real. Just the kind of teachers we want in our elementary schools, teaching little children.
“She is now inheriting the wind from that effort.”
” For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.”
Hosea 8:7 KJV
This verse should probably have quit after the ‘yield no meal’ part. The last phrase adds a lot of ambiguity to an otherwise straightforward admonition. Wondering if the verse wasn’t ’embellished’ at some point.
Blair maybe this will help?

Looking further into the Tulsi Gabbard / WEF issue:
??????????????
https://pamho.medium.com/tulsi-gabbard-and-the-world-economic-forum-the-whole-story-4fca2e9fbf7d
“Tulsi Gabbard was sent an email in 2015 saying she had been chosen as a Young Global Leader and she sent them a tweet saying she was honored. She never had anything to do with them before or since. But they also posted a picture of her on their website as advertising for their yearly shindig at Davos. The same thing happened to Dan Crenshaw. He never had anything to do with them but they posted a picture of him on their website because at the time he was a hot news topic. So it appears that the purpose of the YGL is to draw more rich people to their shindig by advertising that the rich can meet famous young people in the news. Some chosen as YGL go to Davos and mingle and give talks, others don’t.”
We will see where this goes.
ON TULSI GABBARD AND THE WEF (Please copy and share)
The World Economic Forum appears to have identified and highjacked (?) Tulsi Gabbard and other potential rising political stars by deeming them winners of their Young Global Leaders award. I can see that happening, but this will have to be further investigated and vetted.

Blindly trust NONE of them who on either side of the political divide seek political power.
Related: The other day I listened for as long as I could, about 1.5 minutes, to an interview between Farheed Zacaria (Liberal media tool) and former president Bill Clinton, husband of Ma Barker. What was the first question to the former president?
“Do you think that the Democrats can retain their political power in this midterm election?”
Bill Clinton’s answer: “Yes, but it all depends on what we say”. And that is all I needed to hear.
It’s all about what you SAY, because the Democrats and most other politicos will do as they please after they are politically empowered in order to preserve their political power and their agenda that they are not telling you about. Just SAY the right things.
And that is why organizations like the WEF are so dangerous because they very specifically have developed an agenda that seeks to usurp yours, mine and our American freedoms and Rights. America and its Constitution is “The Problem” here.
And that is the takeaway lesson for all. Blindly trust none of them.

EMPLOYERS TAKE NOTE!!! DO NOT HIRE THESE “people”!!!
Education majors are those who have an IQ five points above gender studies and black studies members, usually averaging at 70.
So is it any wonder these buttercups are turning out illiterates, people so studid they need a calculator to figure out what 8×8 equals.
The anser is 88! I want my prize!
Cotour–
Ref Tulsi Gabbard—
For what exact reason do people imagine & project upon her, some sort of conservative, anti-communist, wonder-womanhood??
Wayne:
Like it or not Gabbard made a political power move the other day and left the Democrat party for rational reasons that you, me and many others would agree with. It was strategically timed, and it has great political potential.
And now she has aligned with a Conservative gubernatorial candidate in Arizona, Carey Lake who will almost certainly win her race. Another political power move for Gabbard.
She is making strategic political moves and she is getting play in the media and she is setting up for the future of the Democrat party if and when they come back to their senses, and that may never happen. Or she is setting up for a spot in the Republican party.
She is attractive, she says common sense things, and she has some cred. And it is growing. I have stated before she is probably too Liberal for me, but she appears to be a player and will be a go to candidate for those disillusioned Americans looking for some sanity in politics after the Democrats self-destruct on November 8th.
BUT, this WEF thing got my attention.
And it appears that the WEF identify these promising young prospects and attempt to draw them into their movement OR compromise them with flattery and then draw them in?
It does not appear that either “Eye patch McCain” or Gabbard had anything to do directly with the WEF, but this is something that must be further observed.
Cotour–
My first question to Gabbard would be, “for what reason were you a democrat your entire life?’ They only recently, became crazy?” (and that would include voting for obama 4 times)
Plenty of lefty people have been in the military…..

I hear you, don’t disagree.
But she is working to develop her profile and she is getting noticed as she is doing it.
Regular everyday Democrats or dissatisfied Republicans or Independents are going to be looking for that person that is not, the insane “Progressive” and someone that they can identify with, and Gabbard will fit that bill IMO.
If you remember during the primaries where Gabbard was on the stage, I stated then that she is the future of the Democrat party after these rubes on the stage with her crashed and burned.
But maybe she will wrangle herself into a Conservative Republican? Stranger things have happened.
Like her or not she is now a growing entity in the American political equation.
Evidence that supports my contention:
https://drrichswier.com/wp-content/uploads/TULSI-GABBARD-KARI-LAKE.jpg
Remember, Wayne:
Bill Clinton in his Fareed Zacaria interview the other day: “If we say the right things”.
This strategic Gabbard action and imagery is a big friggin deal IMO:
https://www.usnn.news/tulsi-gabbard-decries-insane-democratic-leadership-at-rally-in-support-of-kari-lake-in-arizona/
CHANDLER, Ariz.—Former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard lambasted national Democratic Party leaders as “elitists” who no longer represent the party of individual freedom she once served at a rally supporting Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
“They have gone crazy—they have gone insane. There’s no other way to describe it,” Gabbard said.
“It’s kind of like the emperor has no clothes. Everybody sees what’s going on, but nobody wants to say it out loud.”
Americans are hungry for, starving for rational thought and action in their politics after the clearly insane and Leftist “Progressive” dominated anti and un–American Democrat party cycle we have been witnessed to. The Democrats have been on a suicide mission of desperation.
They will be forced to reveal themselves as per the Constitution and that is what we see, they can no longer hide in the shadows.
Wayne observed: “Plenty of lefty people have been in the military…..”
Like, my father: career Army. As my Mother once related: “We were the only car on base with a McGovern sticker. I was so embarrassed.”
Robert,
Sorry. That was supposed to be sarcasm. In the future. I will have to be more careful to label it.
A. Landemesser noted: “they need a calculator to figure out what 8×8 equals.”
To which Col Beausabre replied: “The anser is 88! I want my prize!”
Sorry, Col Beausabre. No prize for you. The real answer is 16. To get 88 you have to multiply 80×8.
[Sarcasm Label — otherwise you would have to be glad that you don’t fly on the airplanes that I make.]
Edward: I got your sarcasm. I only felt a need to point out what these so-called students were actually training to do, which is more horrifying because it isn’t sarcasm, but reality.
To expand a bit on A. Landemesser’s remark about needing a calculator to multiply 8×8; I have a sibling with three graduate degrees who does not know her times tables. By the time she got to that point in public education, it was no longer required. I have never really gotten my head around this. When I was in the third grade, knowing the multiplication tables to 12×12 was a no-kidding requirement for advancing to fourth grade. Period.
Maybe not the individual capability, but the societal expectations.
Third Rule of Management: People Work to Expectations
The students that walked out of Dr. Hammer’s class must be really scared now, knowing there are at least 2,000 transphobic “zombies” out to GET them. Does anyone know if the petition was anchored inside the “free speech zone” on campus? Can it be stipulated that just two natural genders signed the petition. Just wondering?
