The student newspaper at the University of Wisconsin-Madison refused to publish an op-ed that arguing against the “defund the police” movement over the fear of backlash.
The op-ed was penned and submitted by Tripp Grebe, who worked as a conservative columnist for the student paper, called the Badger-Herald. In it, Grebe criticized calls to defund and abolish police departments.
The paper’s initial response: At the beginning of the fall semester, Samira Bhushan, an opinion editor at the paper, sent an email to Grebe, informing him that his stance too controversial and might invite “backlash.”

Good God we are living in Soviet Russia.
If any federal dollars are used, they should be cut. What happened to free speech, especially among the “media”?
This is a lie. Polls show that people don’t want to defund the police. What this really means is “we are afraid that liberal psychopaths will hurt us”.
How about we just defund the school instead?
Free speech in action/s
Same logic as commies use to explain election freedom in one-party countries.
MSM outlets are accepting 'reporters' to their newsrooms whose salaries are paid by liberal special interest... They report on things like 'climate change' and 'race relations' -- just in case the liberal press isn't kissing white liberal elite butt enough...
So yeah, we're living the the early stages of a commie takeover. Trump's election can stop it if they don't kill him first.
Oh, and our military? Liberal 'elites' told military brass when they "swear to protect the Constitution" it means the piece of paper it's written on. When commies take over our military will be stationed around the National Archives Building...
too controversial and might invite “backlash.”

I thought opinions were to generate backlash, and increase circulation and sales, and to inform the (dumb) public of the real and hidden truth.
I went up to the Badger-Herald facebook page and there was a picture of the staff. Four men and fifteen women. ALL White.
Yet another REAL REASON to NEVER SUPPORT A LIEBERAL!
Turn the University of Wisconsin-Madison into an insane asylum. The insane are already occupying the administrative positions.
No surprise It’s commumadison
The University of Wisconsin at Madison—at least its history department—has been a hotbed of radicalism for thirteen decades. It was the home of Frederick Jackson Turner, Charles Beard, William Appleman Williams, and other “woke” historians.
Samira Bhushan, an opinion editor at the paper, sent an email to Grebe, informing him that his stance too controversial and might invite “backlash.”
So, why even *have* a newspaper?
Partisan Media Shills update.
I recently read a poll of Harvard students in which over 90% say they are liberals and only 7% say they are conservative. Thunder clouds up ahead. Harvard graduates along with graduates from top universities run this country—government, media, corporations, sciences etc. What kind of a future are we going to have?

Yeah!!
So much for the free exchange of ideas!
Have we ever considered how extremely lucky we have been to have been born American as in born of USA parents or born on this soil?
How many of these children of the NEW AGE ever lived on the economy in any other country except the USA? How many have worked in the Peace Corp or on special missions to improve the lives of those they were sharing space with?
This country is already very divided between the ultra rich and their dishonest procurement of monies to remain rich (who ever believed Soros to be honest or Zuckerburg, et al)?
Do you honestly believe this country is free or all people are free and subject to the same laws in the eyes of the law? Hunter Bidan is a prefect example of this. Hilary and Bill are perfect examples of how this occurs...read about their early life and then an truthful report of what they turned into and how. I do not understand the why except certain people must be “leaders” seek the lime light and in control of other to the controllers benefit. It is an unsatiable urge I have observed but never had.
I dread getting much older. I dread my first ticket for anything...I haven’t even had a ticket for speeding though I do go with the flow of traffic (to do otherwise is to invite being rear ended and then ended as traffic plows into the car going too slowly.) I am not sure how this all works in Norway and Sweden or Finland. Maybe we should find out.
