Daily Signal ^ | November 13, 2015 | Kelsey Harkness

A black conservative professor who found herself the latest target of student protests nationwide has one thing to say to those calling for her to be suspended from the university where she teachers: 'Grow up.'

Swain said the students behind the protests never took any of her classes, all of which are elective.

'My classes are elective, so no one has to take any of my classes and no one has to go to my blog page or go to my Facebook,' she said. 'I feel that I have been defamed by the students and the petition has been filled with lies and they ought to be held accountable for what they've done.'

She has to remember that liberals are LOOKING for a reason to be offended. They are never satisfied to live and let live.

You’re right. Since gay and queer mean the same thing,
let’s repurpose the Q for Questioning.

It will be good if Vanderbilt stands up for her.

27 years=Tenure. Maybe early retirement is there if Vanderbilt decides to cave.

They are never satisfied to live and let live.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated;
but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end
for they do so with the approval of their own conscience".

C.S. Lewis

Although that was the Libs early battle cry. Now they ‘ve become worse than their “oppressors” of the past.
