College Fix ^ | May 11, 2017 | Greg Piper

Does The Washington Post editorial board have the slightest familiarity with First Amendment precedents?

In response to the racist-banana incident at the private American University – now under investigation by the U.S. attorney in D.C. as well as the FBI – the editorial board has declared that all colleges should censor students if someone thinks their speech or behavior is racist:

Can we ban the Washington Post for publishing "fake news"?

All this talk of “white privilege” is blatantly racist. Will this mean the end to hearing that nonsense?

I wonder if the Washington Compost believes that colleges should censor a snowflake's speech if a conservative student calls it racist.

Probably not....

The Washington post is racist because it only prints its news in black (or is the African-American per their editorial policy) on white paper and not the reverse. Why not white print on brown or yellow paper, or red type on pink paper in support of the gender confused?

So American University turns out to be a simmering cauldron of racist attitudes and practices? Surprise, surprise, surprise.

I know a couple of AU faculty. I'm looking forward to asking if they've had their "mugged by reality" moment yet.

Democrats are now literal Nazis.

Daily drumbeat now for violent oppression of conservative speech.

What First Amendment? It was, and is no more.

Sure Washington Post—go ahead and urge them. Since you won’t be having to pay the millions of dollars in civil judgment awards for 1st amendment violations. You people are evil subversives.

No, it just means it will be the end of Whites.

That’s their end game.

Lefty code language rant: When you get right down to the `short-strokes,’ whenever we hear from a member of the lunatic left (and their white, male cuck allies) that anyone (sometimes including their own comrades) is racist, all they are really saying is: “You’re white!”
And the sexist/misogynist accusation? “You’re male!”
White, male privilege. Meh. There’s not a damned thing wrong with being a white male.

The irony is that after, first, Bill Clinton then his `better half’—this gruesome twosome tag-team, Hillary (the Clinton “beast with two backs”), the left has no credibility on either racism or sexism.
Much like `Collusion with the Russians to steal the election!’ the finger-pointing by the `rats is all storm and fury signifying nothing, youtube videos, red herrings meant to distract from their wrongdoing.

Btw, the above is the type of speech that the berzerker marxists (constantly pleading for freedom of speech) would like to see made illegal: `Speech for me, but not for thee.’
They see Orwell’s dystopian novel `Nineteen Eighty-four’ as something to shoot for—a primer, not a warning.

In five years ‘hate crimes’ will be defined as speaking against Christians... Greg Piper needs to mull over that one...

So now future employers are going to assume that minority students are poorly educated because their standards are lower. Why hire them?

We need CONSTITUTIONAL protections for American students on college campuses. Civil rights are no rights at all.
