“The students are frightened and confused.”

Man, are these people full of sh*t, or what?

I don't have the latest numbers, but The World Almanac for 2015 says 1,178 faculty at EKU.

A number of the signatures are from people in the “School of Justice Studies.” First time I have heard of one of those.

Hmmm. That surprises me a bit.

The EKU School of Justice Studies is mainly a cop training school with degrees offered in “Criminal Justice” and “Police Studies”, “Criminology”, “Criminal Justice”, and yes “Social Justice Studies” (eyes roll).

If you drive around town you’ll see lots of police cars because they come here from all over the state to take training courses in various police techniques, like special driving techniques.

The school also offers degrees that are fire department related, like arson investigation.

There aren’t that many college level programs in these fields in country as I understand it.

“Their representatives have worked to silence and discredit opponents rather than entering into dialogue with them, while those same representatives have objectified and demonized countless minority and disenfranchised groups who have made easy targets for their exclusionary rhetoric,” the letter reads.

All that education supposedly happening and none of them are astute enough to see any irony in that statement....wonder how many would gather to actually stop a conservative from speaking on their campus....I'm wagering 98.673% of them - one or two might be sick that day....
