The mere discussion of these issues, according to many of the angry, shouting students, was in and of itself racist.

So......then what does free speach mean, then?
Free only if.......Free only when......
Free only if you follow the political correctness of the day? The "in" thing", the "fad", the Socialist "vision of utopia?"
If you're not into political correctness, what freedoms do you have, then? Obey the oppressors or shut up? That' s free speach?

Ouch.....but we could see this coming........my daughter attended Bucknell the four years the 'new' dean was there. He was from Berkley.....nuff said! He was invited OUT after the four years but the die was cast.

There was a horrific attack on a white student by a black student. He forced his way into her room, beat her and attempted to rape her.

The Dean couldn't figure out what to do because the two students were from minority groups, one the woman, and other a black male.

INSANITY PREVAILED........the criminal was released from jail and placed back in the same dormitory as his victim.

Rather than address my comments, Mr. Ferraro has answered my email by stating that he did not threaten to ban or defund The Counterweight.

Of course, I never mentioned any such action......but he chose to change the subject.

Can't wait to see him O'Reilly.

So what happened when Ferraro asked the Counterweight staffers to leave and threatened to have Public Safety remove them. I would hope they sat still and waited for him to either make good on his threat or back down from it.

Is it possible to post a link to the "offensive" articles in question? I like to make up my own mind.

Where's the legal defense fund for conservatives on campus? We should be able to have lawsuits filed against the administration of any college in this country within 48 hours of one of these censorship incidents.

Leftism on Campus ping!

If you would like to be added to the Leftism on Campus ping list, please notify me via FReep-mail.

Regards...

*****

As an addendum to this ping, I would just like to add that, as a former contributing writer to the conservative monthly at my alma mater, and as a person who has personally experienced being called a racist for challenging political correctness and the left wing thought police, I support with the fire of my being the efforts of the staff of The Counterweight and the BUCC at Bucknell. Whatever you do, do not apologize for demanding your right to free speech!

A "forum" was called for certain "multicultural" groups to express their concerns with certain articles in The Counterweight.

This kills me. They call a forum but neglect to invite members of the publication in question. Lewisburg is my home town, most of my family still lives there. I'd love more details about the two articles - can you direct me to a more specific link from the website or describe them here? Thanks. I see from the link that one of your people is going on O'Reilly - does he know when yet? Ping me to let me know if you could!

Wow, what an impressively well-written magazine you guys have there! Good job.

I am sorry you have to go to a school that is overrun with fascist crazies. At least you are gaining valuable experience for sparring with liberals later in life. You will always win, because you *think* -- they just feel.

Looks like you guys will be getting some decent publicity out of this -- good luck with O'Reilly, don't let it go to your head. :)
