College Free Speech Horror Stories


                                                                                                                                                                



Res Ipsa Loquitur


We all have Liberal friends, family members, neighbors and colleagues,  and find them, for the most part, to be quite agreeable people.  It's often said of them,  in eulogy, "he would give you the shirt off his back."  Sigh.  Good old Fred.  But, Fred also wanted to give you my  shirt too.  Demanded it, as a matter of fact.

Over an almost full lifetime I have concluded, as did Mrs.Thatcher, that Liberals like helping others so much that they endeavor to keep us  in the position of needing it. To the Liberal, government's raison d'être is maintaining the social order of things.  All things.  Keeping an even economic keel is the key, because there is only so much wealth, it being finite, and some would accumulate more than they could spend in .. a month?  Liberals do see as an impediment, if not a heresy,  having the failure of their social models thrown back in their faces.  Like Russian communism.  By and by then,  they have developed  an aversion to free speech.   Which is why we are here at this precise moment.

.Brandeis University delivered a stunning performance when it disciplined Professor Donald Hindley, a nearly 50-year veteran of teaching, for denouncing the use of the term “wetbacks” in his Latin American Politics course. Of course, Hindley had to actually say the word in order to criticize its use. This was a major mistake, as minor details like logic and reason did not prevent Brandeis from declaring him guilty of racial harassment and placing a monitor in his class, all without a formal hearing or written notice of the actual accusations against him. Thankfully, Brandeis has a new president; let’s hope he sees fit to end this embarrassment by reversing Hindley’s harassment finding.

And that, dear fellows, is but one example from  The top 12 worst colleges for free speech.
