Campus Disgrace: Will There Be Consequences for the Violent Middlebury Mob?

Certainly there will be consequences. One is that the thugs just learned that they can get away with uncontrolled violence and will repeat it when they please. Another is that academic freedom takes another stab, but it was already breathing its last anyway. No one will even do anything to prevent this from happening again, much less punish it this time. Why pretend?

Charles Murray does not expect there to be proportional consequences for the violent perps.

Glad I turned down my scholarship there. I hated it even when I was a “liberal.”

The old commies are starting to fear the Red Guard they created? ;-)

You would be correct. See my post at #10, above. All that education and they reliably reach the exactly wrong conclusion. Every. Single. Time.

She was shouted down. In the ensuring melee, as she helped escort Murray out of the secondary venue (the original lecture hall was abandoned due to loud and relentless interruptions), she was physically assaulted and sent to the hospital:

Just curious: would she have been shouted down at one of our gatherings while speaking out on an opposition viewpoint? Would she have been assaulted? IMHO, she may have gotten some "boos" and argument from the crowd, but would not have required hospitalization.

Obviously we’re less tolerant than they ar———————— Oh, wait a minute.
