How Should Conservatives Respond to the Disturbing Trend of Campus Censorship?

We experienced an aggressive protest at UC Davis, but this is part of a disturbing, growing trend of censorship of conservative speech on college campuses.

This is an extended version of an article from our last printed newsletter. Warning: This blog post includes strong language when directly quoting leftist protesters.

On February 29th through March 1st at UC Davis, we faced our most aggressive, persistent, and unreasonable protest yet.

As many of you know, our preferred way of doing outreach is to set up a simple poll table that asks questions like, “Should Abortion Remain Legal?” and provide options for people to sign Yes, No, or It Depends. While we do keep track of the results of these polls to pay attention to trends, they aren’t scientific and we don’t ask the question in order to track people’s answers. We just want to dialogue with people and give our volunteers an opportunity to use what they learned at our training seminar.

We don’t put up signs with abortion images. If you want to learn about how we use abortion images, go to EqualRightsInstitute.com/Images. In short, we think the images are valuable and sometimes persuasive, so we have them in our brochure and we train our volunteers to use them in their conversations. Our rule is that we don’t show people abortion images without their consent, which is purely for pragmatic reasons. We don’t think it’s evil to put abortion images on signs, but we have found it to be counter-productive if our goal is to have persuasive dialogues with people.

Why do parents send their kids to these places?

Because society is brainwashed to think it is necessary.

And to fight this, donate to Foundation for Individual Rights in Education or FIRE. They’ve fought and won cases from speech codes on campus that say you can only hand out fliers on 1% of campus to Title 9 redefinition to say you don’t get legal representation or right to know the charges and cross-examine someone when charged with rape by a university board - who top it off by denying options to present evidence in your defense, give victims the right to appeal if someone is found innocent, and have had investigations of sex women said was consensual but others reported.

Exactly. My answer to the headline would be, do not allow your child to go there, and do not do anything that would remotely imply you support the school in any manner.

By sending your kids to technical school. I’ve written here that I’ve just signed up for culinary school - a nonpolitical and amazingly popular field of study (thank you, Food Network!) that is basically a-political and hands out degrees that provide work in catering halls, restaurants, etc. And if you can’t find work, you learn to feed your family.

Focus on your classes and homework. Ignore the rest. That is why mom and dad are spending thousands of dollars on your education. The rest is BS.

“Why do parents send their kids to these places?!”

Amen! Don’t send your kids to a liberal hell hole posing as an university with these haters in control.

Yank them out if the university becomes a white hating liberal cesspool.

If your kids insist on going to one of these left wing cesspools, tell them that they are on their own financially.

They need to organize, demonstrate, disrupt leftist meetings and speakers with shouts and signs.

They need to occupy administrative offices demanding an end to affirmative action, and conservative "safe spaces" where they can find refuge from the attacks of SJWs.

They need to protest against Black Privilege, particular at Darmouth, where they should march through the library shouting insults and disrupting the library patrons. They should exactly mimic what BLM did at that library, and sue if they are punished when the black students weren't.

They need to find lawyers who will sue the school for civil rights violations any time a white person's civil rights are violated, or if victim groups are given any considerations that are not given to conservatives.

The more important question why to alumni continue to support colleges like this?

Once funding starts to dry up the liberal professional agitators will face a dilemma - continue to support their ideology and go hungry or modify their stances and continue eating.

In short, make them pay for their actions; the days of a free ride are coming to an end!

Cutting all funding to zer0 would be a good start.

A new category of college is emerging, slowly; it needs to emerge rapidly. Many of them are well-established. I would love to see more schools either start up, or, better yet, phase into a conservative-friendly orientation. I really believe people would vote with their feet and move toward preference of conservative-minded schools for their young adults.

This country is worth saving; it just doesn’t know it yet.

Withhold federal money from any campus that has more than 50% liberally inclined professors.

1) Don’t send the kids or attend liberal institutions.

2) Draw a line in the sand and refuse to cave to their liberal ideology. Not easy..but it can be done.

3) Take satisfaction in giving them fits at every opportunity.

Outrage them every day. If in response they try to deprive Americans of their lawful Rights then trash the lawless filth until they politely ask you to please stop.

I thought all groups/organizations receiving federal funds can have those funds taken away if they violate civil rights.

Isn’t first amm a civil right?

Sounds like all we need is a prez w/the minimal cajones required to take action.

“How Should Conservatives Respond to the Disturbing Trend of Campus Censorship?”

This isn’t rocket science.

Track the leftist pajama boy to his favorite campus watering hole.

Belly up to the bar, order a beer, turn to the pajama boy seated at the bar and scream for everyone to hear: Look! Our Nazi leader is here.

The entire bar will go silent.

The target, nazi pajama boy, (NPB) will freak out. After NPB realizes that he’s been painted as a Nazi, his head will start spinning at 8000 rpm. Pea soup will gush from his nose at 500 GPM (gallons per minute).

You and your buddies, who should be wearing I Love Gloria Steinheim dresses, turn to NPB and scream SEIG HEIL!!! (Don’t worry. On today’s campuses you can identify as whatever you want.)

Pajama boy will be identified as a Nazi and will never have credibility again.
