Some people just won't conform to political correctness. Remind me again how people this age won World War II?

[GeronL]

He pointed out that the ‘facts’ were wrong, that is why he got booted

[Politicalkiddo]

“...his professor banned him from the discussion segment of the class for the remainder of the semester.”

Assuming this is a public college, I would think this to be a freedom of speech violation.

[Politicalkiddo]

“Private colleges aren’t bound by the First Amendment”

Never mind. Missed that crucial bit.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Truth is the last thing welcomed on PC-saturated campuses.

[vigilante2]

They kept using the word “survivor” instead of “victim”.

Reed College, a small liberal arts school in Portland, Oregon, attracts students who want to speak their mind.

Whatever.

Wasn't there a guy who studied calligraphy there, back in the seventies, before dropping out to do something useful?

[Crazieman]

Wait, how come private colleges aren’t bound by the first amendment in prohibiting, but private businesses aren’t bound by the first amendment in mandating? (Cake shops)

[Politicalkiddo]

I wish I knew. It’s all bs.

“Please know that this was a difficult decision for me to make and one that I have never made before; nevertheless, in light of the serious stress you have caused your classmates, I feel that I have no other choice,” Savery wrote in the email, obtained by BuzzFeed News.

In a purely academic sense, one would think Savery only wants to teach politically accepted views, to insulate (better yet, isolate) the students from views they cannot possibly see in real life after they graduate, can they?

The left is more than willing to 'challenge' traditional closely held views (e.g., Christ in a Piss Jar) or Fat Basterd Queer guys in thongs prancing down main street in a bacchanalian parade right in front of your children, society's 'serious stress' be damned.

[Oberon]

Silencing the dissenter, rather than encouraging discourse. Yep, this is a liberal arts college.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Bet there are more women than men at this college. This guy is victim of bullying.

[Gargantua]

May they all get a bad eye-infection and die horribly...

“If sexual assault becomes qualified as rape, what happens next?”

I’m guessing that he will find out when the police come to arrest him for sexual assault. I mean, he was making some of the women uncomfortable.

In a discussion about violence between England and the U.S., England has a HUGE number of rapes. But, their definition includes other forms of sexual assault (groping, etc.) Even so, they still had about 2.5 times the number of “rape rapes” than the U.S.

So somewhere the liberals and euro-thinkers figure calling groping a rape helps their cause somehow. I’m guessing it is in the name of feminism.

The 1-in-5 “stat” is a complete fraud, has been exposed as such without any shred of doubt, yet continues to be put out there as fact. He should sue on that basis and move for dismissal of the teacher. Also sue him for sexual harassment, slander, and public humiliation.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Kind of a long link. Prof. Pancho is pro free expression and against censorship in all forms, except when you disagree with him.

His name is True? This reads like an Ayn Rand story

That would be one of the best "Open Line Friday" questions that Rush has ever had!

[GailA]

Because we were taught Right from Wrong. And that the proper form of punishment was either hanging or life time in prison.

[jamaksin]

And, also a certain co-ed who went on to an internship position at the White House. IIRC, Monica something-or-other.
