Today in facist academia
Fascist academia: There are so many of these stories each day that I find it somewhat repetitive to post them over and over again. Here are today’s sampling of college protesters and academic administrators shutting down speech they don’t like.
- Student protesters shut down University of Oregon president’s speech to ‘stand against fascism’
- Rutgers students ‘don’t need no facts’ to heckle speaker
- Antifa, students shut down College Republicans event at Columbia University
- Aldephi University blocks vaguely conservative message by lacrosse team, forces its own politics on students
- Texas university cancels Republican’s speech as Black Lives Matter shouts lawmaker down
Note that these stories cover five different universities. In several cases the university administration participated in shutting down dissenting views. In all cases it appears the administrations are complacent in supporting the heckler’s veto by not doing anything to stop it.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

Twitter has now recanted on its war against that republican congresswoman, part (IOM) because people stood up and were counted. I hope this is a new era of freedom. To stop a bully, one must make a stand!
For those who do not like confrontation, voting with the pocketbook works well. The NFL is out for me. There is enough entertainment without putting up with the intimidation.
