In an open letter to outgoing Pomona College President David Oxtoby, a group of students from the Claremont Colleges assail the president for affirming Pomona’s commitment to free speech and demand that all five colleges “take action” against the conservative journalists on the staff of the Claremont Independent.
The letter, written by three self-identified Black students at Pomona College, is a response to an April 7 email from President Oxtoby in which he reiterated the college’s commitment to “the exercise of free speech and academic freedom” in the aftermath of protests that shut down a scheduled appearance by an invited speaker, scholar and Black Lives Matter critic Heather Mac Donald, on April 6.

If these ‘students’ are soooo smart, what are they doing wasting time in university?......................
Rejecting facts is an ultimately painful way to go through life.
That’s the only way they can stay leftists.
The 1st Amendment is apparently only for those who agree with you.
Lord, Lord, give me the strength to backhand these simps. Can we just line up the teaching staff at 90% of California’s schools and lay waste to their teaching plans?
I am in a surly mood this afternoon.
Are there many black folk embarrassed by these people who claim for themselves to be important representatives of “blackness?”
Reality has a way of exacting its revenge.
"Self identified?" Rachel Dolezal types?
“written by three self-identified Black students at Pomona College”
Wow. Three whole people are upset with the concept of free speech at the formerly great Claremont Colleges.
An earthquake.

Most of them are actually white, so according to the theory of liberal racism, they are trying to make college better for those poor dumb POCs who need liberal whites to shepherd them through life.
The letter’s signatories, of whom there are 30 at the time of publication, request a response by the afternoon of April 18.
Mine would be, OK, you want to get rid of free speech, we'll start by expelling the lot of you. It was your idea.
Uneducable brats.
The students are right. The President of Claremont College should take action. The President should publicly ridicule and humiliate the students who wrote this letter for not understanding basic concepts such as “free speech.”
I agree with your sentiment. If free speech is so hurtful to them, then the University should start with these students’ speech and punish them for the fact that they hurt the feelings of the majority. Show them where their idea could take them to the extreme.
The One Truth is by definition, objective. These people are born-bred into a sick, diabolic society that accepts moral relativism/subjective thinking as their Gospel.
They have been deceived by the ‘Father of Lies’. Sad, but true!

Uh oh... no one told 20 centuries of western philosophers!
Those used to be VERY highly regarded small colleges. One of my officers took his math PhD from there and went on to be a math professor at West Point after we left Korea.
