Feminist Studies Professor Accused of Assaulting Teenage Prolife Demonstrator
The College Fix ^ | 03/12/2014 | Jennifer Kabbany

SANTA BARBARA – A department of feminist studies professor has been accused of going berserk after coming across a campus prolife demonstration that used extremely graphic displays, leading a small mob of students to chant “tear down the sign” before grabbing one of the signs, storming off with it, then allegedly engaging in an altercation with a 16-year-old prolife protestor who had followed the educator to retrieve it.

Much of the scuffle was recorded on a smartphone by the 16-year-old, Thrin Short. The yet-to-be-released video is now in the custody of Santa Barbara law enforcement officials, who are investigating the March 4 incident.

The professor at the heart of the controversy is Mireille Miller-Young, an associate professor whose area of emphasis is black cultural studies, pornography and sex work, according to her faculty webpage. Joan Short, 21, also published her version of events.

“Although we were interrupted, we reached a lot of students,” she stated. “Many of them will not be able to think complacently about abortion ever again. … With babies dying every day, we know that we have to use even our spare time to do something to end abortion.”

Several UCSB students posted comments underneath Joan Short’s essay that they are sickened by the visits. An op-ed written by a UCSB student and published two days after the incident in the student newspaper The Daily Nexus stated that ”these groups are threatening the well-being of students, yet nothing is being done. We should not feel unsafe on our own campus. These acts of shaming and violence are beyond unacceptable, and in no case have these groups warned the student body before showing such images on campus.”

Garza said the campus is public property,...were in the free-speech zone, and by law they are allowed to demonstrate there.

Does she play nose guard in the 3-4 defensive scheme?

Nasty black woman with an attitude.

Sounds like a promising congress candidate for Dems.

Sounds like she might have had another career in mind but her looks probably ended that dream. Those that can do. Those that can't teach.

This “feminist” killed at least one of her offspring,
viscerally knows it was murder,
is suffering from well deserved guilt,

and reacts violently to being reminded of it.

End of story.

Who hit her in the face with a club - oh wait, never mind.

She amounts to one-stop shopping for a "Destroy America" major. :)

She could be a bottom girl, the tough woman who keeps the other hookers in a pimp’s stable in line.

She should look on the bright side. With an emphasis like that, if she ends up in jail on an assault conviction she can still earn her pay by claiming she’s engaging in a field study to observe and interview subject matter experts ...

The yet-to-be-released video is now in the custody of Santa Barbara law enforcement officials, who are investigating the March 4 incident.

If the video implicates the professor, it will disappear. This day and age, never, never, never turn anything over to law enforcement unless there are one or more copies of it.

That’s the only kind of graphic display they object to. Graphic displays of sex and violence? They are fine with those. Graphic displays that are blasphemous towards someone’s religion? A-okay too (as long as it’s not Islam that is offended).

That NYU program has always been a farce. People were ‘given’ degrees for building a 6’ paper mache penis and for appearing in and shooting pornographic movies.

(as long as it’s not Islam that is offended).

On the contrary, it's OK as long as it is only Christianity that IS offended.

The only way to justify abortion is to avert your eyes from the result. Publication of the result is therefore verboten.

She’s showing her tolerance. Those who tolerate depravity will despise the truth, especially if it highlights their own depravity.

Well, if they feel that way about pictures of abortion, I'm sure they must be absolutely mortified that real abortion is legal, cheerled by women like this professor, and covered by Obamacare. /sarc
