No, Conservatives Shouldn’t Try to Punish Radical Professors for Offensive Speech

He’s wrong. Even aside from the Bush comments, tweeting out the number of a college’s crisis line is beyond the pale - it doesn’t matter whether they can prove anyone was harmed, they have no idea how many people may have gotten a busy signal or given up if the line kept ringing.
It shows the incredibly bad judgment and attention-seeking, mentally ill behavior of someone who should not be teaching college kids.

David French excels at stabbing conservatives in the back.

Time we stopped listening to him...

[Fred Hayek]

Face the facts. We are at war with the Left. It is past time to take the gloves off. The Left punishes conservative professors, we should punish theirs. The Left doxxes us, we dox them. The time for civility is over.

Mr French...assume your finest whimpering submissive position...on your back, belly exposed...with the sheets pulled up over your head.

And remember... There’s no such thing as monsters!

[JimRed]

Expose them, then let the chips fall where they may. If you start to “punish” them, then when the tables are turned their “punishing” of us appears justified, because, “Hey, they do it too”. Our truth can survive the light of day; their lies can’t.

The trap for Republicans is that Democrats know they can be abusive first and get away with it, because Republicans will reject "whataboutism," and insist on taking the high road in contrast, essentially giving the Democrats a free "kick me" every time.

Nothing will change unless liberals feel the blowback.

Never trumper fremch is an idiot. He also is a pretty bad lawyer because the pigs comments were not a mattr of public concern. She should be fired

Don’t punish her — use her in Republican campaign ads this year and in 2020.

What caused the increase in people going to college to get worthless degrees, was a 1970 Supreme court ruling, Griggs v Duke Power, which barred using tests for job applicants if a lower percentage of blacks passed. So companies used "college degree" as a means of checking if the applicant was literate.

Pass legislation that says that tests may be used in hiring and promotion, without regard to whether different groups pass at different rates, and the college industry will implode. Companies could once-again hire straight out of high school, selecting for applicants with high SAT scores.

Ferreting out perverse incentives - and their toxic unintended consequences is as important as cutting silly regulations... Thanks for sharing this Papabear...

[Truthoverpower]

Yes more speech
And out their hate out
Far and wide
Free for all to see the moral bankruptcy of their character
And utter lack of class or conscience

[Socon-Econ]

In theory he’s correct. Let the market force these idiot’s out. .....

By ignoring government funding, this approach takes market economic theory to a ridiculous extreme. Republican parents can’t form their own unbiased state universities for their kids. Why should Republican taxpayers be forced to fund professors who want to ban Republicans? Voting taxpayers need a say in what they are financing.
