Boston College Faculty Want to Ban Trump-Inspired ‘Hate Speech’
Breitbart ^ | December 6, 2016 | Tom Ciccotta

In response to Donald Trump’s victory in November’s presidential election, nearly 50 faculty members at Boston College have signed a letter demanding that the university ban all forms of “hate speech.” A letter signed by almost 50 Boston College faculty members condemns Donald Trump for failing to address the hate crimes “that his campaign emboldened.” They also condemn Trump for failing to apologize for the remarks he made about sexually assaulting women.

...and since the University of Miami historically has a high percentage of black players, Doug Flutie is... ...you guessed it... ...a racist!

More evidence is the WR who caught the ball was white too.

Oh dear. That image has triggered me. I will now retreat to my safe space, weep openly and sip cocoa...

The University President actually said that they would launch an investigation. There was "panic" at Emory for days.

Ultimately it was the best public service move in the history of college grad recruiting. Anyone with Emory University listed on the app/resume/CV now receives instant attention and placement...to File 13!

The stairs going up to McElroy Commons would take an hour to chalk. BTW, I canceled my season tickets to the football games after 40 years. LostIn College is no more....

I never get tired of “The Pass”. Look where his foot is when he throws the ball. That was 65 yards in the air. I had a great weekend that Thanksgiving. My fiancé’s father gave me The Hunt for Red October as my Christmas presents early.

Ditto that. Lived on the shores of Lake Massapoag for a few years and knew a few people who went to BC but never made it to the campus.

... we call on the Boston College administration to immediately adopt a zero-tolerance policy against hate speech.”

They demand zero tolerance *against* hate speech.

But they claim to want zero tolerance of hate speech.

So they want no one to speak out against hate speech. College professors wrote this nonsense?

So these 50 decide what hate speech is.

It's been decided. When it is less than pleasant and spoken about the "protected", TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.

My 8 years of Jesuit education ended in 1971 - before they went completely around the bend with Marxism and rampant homosexuality.

If Boston college had any integrity it would fire the 50 idiots who want to stifle speech they don't like. They are an embarrassment to higher education. What are the hiring for professors at the college, 3 year old children?

Hate speech inspired by Trumps upcoming presidency?

Can the leftist hack not saying hateful and mean things about Trump or his supporters?

Supporting Trump is defined as hate speech by liberals - but rest assured, help is on the way and this PC will soon be exposed and mocked.

FAFSA - they all use it if they are accredited, with a few exceptions (I’ve seen info that Hillsdale or Patrick Henry (or both) don’t use it - memory .

Since they all have 1st amendment violations, and it isn’t a function delegated to the fedgov anyway, I say we do away with it.

"Not to mention he didn’t sexually assault ANYONE."

I've been making that point as well. The MSM have defined-down "sexual assault" to include what used to be called "getting fresh," i.e., a pinch or touch that no normal woman would think rose to the level of a crime. The woman would say, "Knock it off," and that would be the end of it if the man complied.

"Sexual assault" commonly refers to behavior ranging from rape to persistent and extreme forms of physical aggression with a sexual motive, usually involving some sort of actual struggle with the victim. Bill Clinton seems to have done that, but to my knowledge Trump didn't.

What Trump did was boorish, not criminal.

Similar story here - graduated from Jesuit Seattle U in 1972. You wouldn't recognize the place anymore - 100% left-wing, 24/7.
