Students protest, vandalize display featuring conservative quotes
The Extract ^ | 4.25.17 | Editor

When the College Republicans chapter at Maryland’s Hood College decided to put up a temporary display honoring prominent conservatives, the group wanted to promote the free exchange of ideas.

“We just wanted to provoke thoughtful discussion,” said club president Christopher Gardner. “We have done that.”

In reality, the young Republicans accomplished even more by exposing how close-minded many of their fellow students have become.

I personally think that has been evident for decades. However, they do not bother to hide it anymore and the colleges now do nothing to stop them from acting out wither. Same is true with police in certain areas of the country. Such as Berserkeley!!! It seems even more leftist adults have become more intolerant towards conservatism as well.

Conservative quotes, eh? They don’t have to like it!

No, to be closed-minded would be to ignore, criticize or otherwise dispute the quotes.

We’re dealing with simple criminality here.

Much of this behavior is the result of the push for “diversity” over the past forty years. Most universities and colleges have large numbers of “students” who can no more thrive in an academic environment than a vineyard on Mars. They are frustrated and look to political violence and hatred to compensate for their failures. Guilt ridden job secure academics will continue to patronize them until someone turns off the taxpayer spigot.

It is the war on Christianity (The Age of Reason). They banned it from the public square and publik skools in the 60s on purpose so they could flip 2000 years of ethics back to the irrational, pederastic pagan slave cultures. Vice makes slaves. With vice, there is no virtue (inner control). It is ALL outer control by the State. There can be no Freedom without virtue in the people (Founders).

They have made little jackboot satanists out of most of our children-—pumped out ignorant, immoral “agents” to be organized and controlled by the elite sodomites (Deep State) who control the Federal Reserve, “legal” system, (all money/wealth), curricula/publishing agencies, etc for the last 100 years. We live in an unconstitutional “Vice System”.

The only reason we “realize” the insanity is because of the freedom of the internet-—which they are trying to get total control over also.

Total control of all allowed ideas and thought is almost here, like in Orwell’s book. All logical, rational websites are being attacked. Truth (God) is not allowed. All our children are totally being warped and controlled by the System. They are totally irrational—removed from Reality being programmed their whole life in artificial group (non) think factories. They have no agency and can only “think” collectively—all free will and individualism is destroyed-—exactly as the Marxists (Fichte/Wundt) wanted-—little “bots’—playthings for the evil sodomites.

We need to get the children OUT of their control and indoctrination centers and throw out the TV or this insanity will be exactly like the Brave New World—where there is no Natural family allowed and children are bred by the State and no biological connections allowed.

Liberals are doing exactly what Hitler did, viz. squelching all opposing points of view. That’s the only way their infantile philosophy can survive.

Hood College? I did not know that there was higher education available in that field.

It was a very good college at one time.

Established in 1893 by the Potomac Synod of the Reformed Church of the United States as the Woman's College of Frederick, the school was officially chartered in 1897 "with the purpose and object of creating and maintaining a college for the promotion and advancement of women, and the cultivation and diffusion of Literature, Science and Art." The college's founding was the result of the Potomac Synod's decision to transition the coeducational Mercersburg College into the all-male Mercersburg Academy and establish a women's college south of the Mason–Dixon line. In 1913, the institution was renamed Hood College by its Board of Trustees to honor its most generous benefactor, Margaret Scholl Hood, whose land donation allowed the school to move from rented facilities in downtown Frederick to its own campus in the northwest region of the city.

An all-female institution until 1971, the college initially admitted men only as commuters. This continued until 2003, when male students were extended the option of residential status. The influx of new students has led to major changes at the school, including extensive dormitory renovations, and the construction of a new athletic building and a new tennis and aquatic center.

I already posted on the other thread; this is my mother’s beloved college. I told her about this issue and they may consider pulling their substantial and loyal contributions.

Even scarier, the president (acting like an equivocating enabler) is the daughter of a friend of my aunt’s. From MA. Where liberals rule.

Mom always tells how the pres when she was there resigned because he did NOT want federal funding, whereas Board members were pushing for it more and more. Mom was there at the very end of completely non-fed funding sources, 60 years ago.

They need to, otherwise, the message will not be heard.
