Allison Stanger, the professor at Middlebury College in Vermont who was viciously attacked by a mob of students determined to prevent author and scholar Charles Murray from speaking, lays the blame for the incident at the feet of President Donald Trump.
"Students are in a justifiable state of anxiety since Trump was elected," Stanger said. "My assumption that they could rationally listen to Mr. Murray's controversial views and debate them in a civil manner was my error. Their response of beating me senseless was something I should have anticipated. I violated their 'safe space' by trying to inject an unwelcome perspective into it."
"In hindsight, my naive adherence to a Jeffersonian notion that a university should be a 'marketplace for ideas' endangered everyone on campus," Stanger continued. "Clearly, some ideas are so out-of-step with academic orthodoxy that their mere mention poses a threat to the psychological comfort of the university community. I apologize for my insensitivity and hope that my pledge to behave myself in the future will obviate the need for the students to administer any more chastisements to me."

He just lost any civil case he had going for him against the University.
Ahhh, more liberal tolerance.
