Students: 'truth' a white supremacist concept

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.

NOW I get it...they wanted THEIR professors to teach what they wanted.

Is this it? The Children's Story

There was a short film made in 1982 that was based on the book. When I was in high school, the drama class put on a play based on the book. I just remembered the plot line was very similar to what you mentioned.

It’s outrageous, egregious, and unacceptable!

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.

“Heather Mac Donald is a fascist, a white supremacist, a warhawk, a transphobe, a queerphobe, a classist, and ignorant of interlocking systems of domination that produce the lethal conditions under which oppressed peoples are forced to live,”

Just because the person who uttered that quote thinks all that is a bad thing, doesn’t make it so! ;)

Well, as long as she does not smoke cigarettes!!!/s;)

The father of lies has spoken. ]

Yes, indeed - the Devil has found many willing subjects. Obama and co. spent 8 years feeding lies to people like this. As Jon Voight said, ever so eloquently: "Obama feeds these people poison". So we are not surprised by these results. And not coincidentally, Obama purposely left out "God" multiple times, like "one nation under God". The spirit of antichrist at work in the world since Christ and even now continues its evil work in these Last Days. This type of idiocy is, unfortunately, not a surprise.

You get extra points for quoting Jackie Childs! (lol)

You are hereby awarded “The Internets” today and a pair of pastry bear claws from the coffee shop. Postal employee Newman will deliver them. Unless it’s raining.

FYI: Dray Denson, Avery Jonas and Shanaya Stephenson were responding to an April 7 email to the campus community by Oxtoby that criticized the mob tactics that shut down a “Blue Lives Matter” speech.

Last week, the iconic Angela Davis was a guest of Scripps Presents’ first installment in a series that called “Conversations,” an ironic title considering what actually ensued during the hour-long interview. Annie Gilbertson, an investigative reporter whose “first love is public schools” as she described it, was clearly not only ill- prepared, but quite unqualified to be interviewing this woman, and several people walked away from that event with the same sentiment.

Davis, rocking her gorgeous afro, graced the stage with the kind of presence that only legends of a revolutionary movement have. ...” Get the picture?

[SaveFerris]

So, she’s an accessory to 4 murders?

Should be behind bars with no chance of parole.

And she provided the weapons. Why they let people like this back on the streets, I have no idea.

“Historically, white supremacy has venerated the idea of objectivity, and wielded a dichotomy of ‘subjectivity vs. objectivity’ as a means of silencing oppressed peoples,” they explain. “The idea that there is a single truth–‘the Truth’–is a construct of the Euro-West that is deeply rooted in the Enlightenment, which was a movement that also described Black and Brown people as both subhuman and impervious to pain. This construction is a myth and white supremacy, imperialism, colonization, capitalism, and the United States of America are all of its progeny. The idea that the truth is an entity for which we must search, in matters that endanger our abilities to exist in open spaces, is an attempt to silence oppressed peoples.”

Last week, my wife and I went to Temple University to hear Dr. Ravi Zacharias present a symposium titled "Does Truth Matter?"

There were thousands of people in attendance, including many university students. In fact, 10 different universities participated in the forum (including U Penn, Drexel, Bryn Mawr, and many others).

The audience was enthusiastic, respectful, and the symposium was an incredible experience. Several tough questions were posed to Zacharias, including the role of the arts, the question of science and its role in the atheistic vs. Christian world view, and Hinduism vs. Christianity.

Ravi was brilliant in his discussion and his answers, as usual. To those unfamiliar, Dr. Zacharias is one of the world's leading Christian intellectuals and apologists. He has written 25 books, and appeared and debated at universities all of the world, the United Nations, West Point, the Naval Academy, military bases the world over, before business leaders, and governments.

The entire presentation is posted here:

"Truth and meaning are inextricably joined, because truth and love are inextricably joined."

Ravi told a story about a friend of his, falsely accused, who is now in his late 70's and was recently sent to prison. All the man wants is that the evidence that the state possesses against him see the light of day. He asked, "Does truth matter in this case?"

Ravi also brought up the example of Pilate, asking Christ, "What is truth?" and then walking away, not wanting to hear the real answer.

Not all universities and colleges have completely bought the radical false narrative, but most of them have. Free speech, thought, and truth are dying, but we must, like Ravi, fight the good fight.

Save Ferris' picture he posted on this thread is accurate: we are watching in real time as Satan has extinguished the very concept of the truth. Jesus did say He spoke the truth, He claimed to be Truth itself (see my tagline).

We are at war with Evil, both here and in the spiritual realm (Ephesians 6:12).

May God give us the strength to continue to fight until that day that we are called home, either by death or by the snatching away.

The letter, written by three self-identified Black students at Pomona College...

Alumna Association?

[Elsie]

The President should publicly ridicule and humiliate the students who wrote this letter for not understanding basic concepts such as “free speech.”

Nah...

Their parents..

For not exercising their RIGHT to Women's Services when it was LEGAL to do so.

[Elsie]

And we’ve ALWAYS been at war with EastAsia.

For someone writing over 100 tears ago, Kipling is amazingly applicable to our current condition. I refer to the Gods often, as you have here, but there are others. Post 9/11, there should the been more reference to The Grave of the Hundred Head, for instance.

A is A. Suck on it, snowflakes.

Let us look upon this as OPPORTUNITY.

If there is no truth, then shooting them will make them much more healthy.

And killing them is not an aggressive act, nor is it murder.

Having no truths can serve our purposes quite well.

For someone writing over 100 tears ago, Kipling is amazingly applicable to our current condition.

If I ever manage to become skilled enough to write at 1% of Rudyard Kipling's level, I will have achieved a life's goal.

And the reason Kipling's work is so very applicable to today, is that he observed human nature, not the conditions of the time.

Human nature does not change.

[FreedomPoster]

That’s a key issue, and a key reason we disagree with the Left at every turn. Most of the Left’s policy positions ignore realities of human nature.

Thanks for the link.

Ravi is excellent.

I’ve heard him in person probably 4-5 times a good 35 years ago when he would do small churches.

I always enjoyed his preaching.

Template radical leftism...

“(Fill in the Blank) is a fascist, a white supremacist, a warhawk, a transphobe, a queerphobe, a classist, and ignorant of interlocking systems of domination that produce the lethal conditions under which oppressed peoples are forced to live,”.

“Why are you [Fill in the Blank], and other persons in positions of power at these institutions, protecting a fascist and her hate speech and not students that are directly affected by her presence?”

We insist that (Fill in the Blank) apologize for his (dated) email and issue a new message that the college “does not tolerate hate speech and speech that projects violence onto the bodies of its marginalized students and oppressed peoples.”
