Once again, the leftists are going after Nick Sandmann
American Thinker ^ | 9 Sep, 2020 | Andrea Widburg

Nick Sandmann, who earned the left’s wrath for wearing a MAGA while listening politely as a crazed leftist beat a drum in his face at a Right to Life event, is in the left’s crosshairs again. This time it’s because he decided to attend university. Both an ACLU staffer and a professor at the university promptly collapsed into censorious, anti-Sandmann puddles of hatred.

Sandmann, who we hope has enough CNN and Washington Post settlement money to buy and sell Harvard, has decided to attend Transylvania University, a small private liberal arts university in Lexington, Kentucky. Sane people will wish him good luck on his intellectual journey. Insane people will try to destroy his educational opportunity or promise to spy on him.

Jonathan Turley writes that at least one ACLU staff member and one Transylvania University professor have, between the two of them, promised to do both of those insane things. Turley first tells his readers about the ACLU employee:

Some of these hate-filled leftists need a good old southern lesson in manners.

Even so, $80M later, Sandmann will ultimately get last laugh.

Kind of surprised he didn’t go to Hillsdale.

“Dr. Avery Tompkins, an Assistant Professor and Diversity Scholar”

Not a real scholar.

The Left can’t ever walk away from a defeat.
They just know their cause is just and righteous.
And because this is how they act and believe there will be blood in the streets before this is all over.

Not a real scholar.

And not a real ... uh ... Does it identify as male or female?

Transy.edu

Apt name for the school's site.

“Wow! Nick will never have to work.”

I’m pretty sure that he will anyway.
I do wonder why he chose to go into the belly of the beast. That would not be my first choice of schools. Heck, I don’t think that it’s anybody’s first choice.

Ah, the professor's bio answered my question. It identifies as male, and "Transy" U humors it by using "he" and "him".

Off topic: What is it with confused women and the Appalachian Trail? It's like their Mecca.

Perhaps that comes from the many hours he’s spent hiking the Appalachian Trail (around 750 miles so far)

While I attended UK, I lived just down the street from Transylvania U. On the same block was the home of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan. All the buildings on the street were old, including my apartment building. You could walk down the street at night and imagine you were back in the 1860s.

It’s a shame that evidently Transylvania has turned into Snowflake University.

What useful purpose does a diversity scholar provide?

Designing life saving medical equipment?
Repairing an engine?
Constructing a building?
Writing software?
Saving lives as an EMT?
Running a business and creating opportunity?
Arguing a case in court?
Painting a house?
Teaching high school physics?
Bringing lost souls to Christ?
Patrolling a high crime area?
Managing a portfolio of investments?
Feeding people at a homeless shelter?
Commanding a platoon?
Running a farm?
Raising kids?

A diversity scholar does nothing useful whatsoever. It distinguishes itself by demanding tolerance, while being intolerant.

Sandmann like all college students should feel greater freedom in expressing their views at colleges, not being closely monitored as someone with dangerous thoughts and ideas. That fact that figures in the ACLU and academia would publicly espouse such views of intolerance is a chilling example of how our faith in free speech has eroded in the recent years... J. Turley

Maybe white liberal 'elites' don't know they've turned into closed minded thugs...

Nick should start a business of his choosing. It could morph over the years as his interests develop. In the short term, part of his team could include conservative educators and practicing experts to teach him what he really wants and needs to know. Cut the wasteful amount of time spent in college spent learning drivel that doesn’t do anything of value. If he wants to be surrounded by others of his age for the social benefits that would be achieved in college, he could do that as well - call them interns. Work and learn during the week on an extended real-life project called a business, then come Friday afternoon they can party their asses off.

The aclu is now a terrorist organization, and all members need to be detained in a small cell.

That is a good thing, since I don’t think he will be allowed to work.
