This week in fascist academia
Time for another depressing update on the fascist and childish culture that unfortunately seems to presently dominate the college campuses of modern America. (To read my earlier updates, posted almost weekly since October, go here.)
To begin, below are some stories illustrating the fascist and intolerant nature of many college administrations:
- College president at Northwest Vista College in Texas says ‘Hate speech isn’t free speech’
- ‘Jingle Bells’ rooted in racism, Boston University professor says
- Conservative club at Wartburg Colleg rejected for not conforming to school’s ‘values’
- University of Iowa threatens religious liberty by expelling Christian group
- University of Virginia stonewalls conservative club for restricting membership to conservatives
- Wartburg College censors free speech group for using the word ‘suck’
- Student hangs posters, University of California-San Diego’s bias response office launches probe against student
- Journalists handcuffed, barred from college campuses
In every case above, we either have the college administrations taking actions to suppress speech they did not like, or college facility announcing to the world that they haven’t the faintest understanding of freedom of speech or its fundamental basis for the establishment of western civilization.
The last story describes a recent Columbia Journalism Review report about how a number of universities have become very hostile to working journalists, and have even taken actions to have journalists arrested. The universities mentioned including the University of Colorado-Boulder, Keene State College, and two New York state colleges, Bronx Community College and Kingsborough Community College.
However, as I have noted in earlier updates, the fascist culture at academia is unfortunately not limited to the administrators and teachers. Many students advocate intolerance as well.
