“Ask if they would be ready to report violations under threat of losing their jobs.”

I’m thinking that all of my friends would report the anal rape of a child to the police, even if it would risk losing a job.

I think this view is well worth considering.

The culprit isn't tolerance. It is allowing the PC crowd to hijack tolerance for the purpose of shoving the homo agenda down everyone's throat.

It is making normalcy deviant and deviancy normal. At one time, the 97% or so of the population which was heterosexual was naturally disgusted by the activities of the 2 or 3%.

Former President Graham Spanier and his wife were among the chief architects in making Penn State a deviant friendly campus. So much so that speaking out against their vile lifestyles was considered hateful and politically incorrect even when it involved innocent children.

This isn't to excuse the people who failed to speak out, but to shine a spotlight on the culture of fear of speaking out which the homo agenda involves. In their quest to be tolerant to perverts, they embraced the intolerance which perverts impose on normal human behavior.

In their quest to make unnatural acts natural, they suppressed the natural voices which might have stopped this crap.

Same here - at least, I hope so.

When it was revealed that Fawn Hall (I think that was her name) collaborated to steal federal documents at the request of her boss, I remember a relative sneering at me that I obviously hadn’t considered what would happen to her if she declined to do so (i.e., she’d lose her job). I remember being shocked that THIS was the issue my relative found most compelling, not betraying one’s country but losing one’s job. Stunned, I replied “Well if it comes down to betraying your country or losing your job, you LOSE YOUR JOB.” I was dismissed as naive etc.
Same thing with child rape - too bad you lose your job but don’t you want to be able to face yourself in a mirror the rest of your life? It’s shocking that this question is considered a ‘show stopper’ or ‘wake up call’ by those who defend inaction.

There is something to this idea. A certain level of brainwashing does go on at the colleges and universities, and it is not just the students who are victims, the faculty and staff are also broadsided by this crap.

I have seen a white speaker give a speech condemning the evils of white privilege to an audience that was 99% white, and when it was over they stood and applauded.

I have watched the president of a college receive a standing ovation for bragging about enrolling illegal aliens.

I have listened to a black female professor give the most incoherent, nonsensical 45 minute lecture to a group of fellow professors, and they stood and applauded her absolute ignorance as if it were some sort great insight or revelation.

After 23 years in higher education I can say that political correctness is the driving force behind most of what goes on. In that world the truth has been replaced by intentional ignorance and utter fantasy. The less you think the easier it will be for someone to succeed and get along in that environment.

BINGO! You have precisely described the conditions at Penn State, as well as other institutions today, and yes, Spanier and his wife, PC deviants, took Penn State down this road to ruin...and they both, as tenured professors, remain on the Penn State payroll. Spanier needs to be charged along with the others already charged, and his and his wife’s connection to Penn State needs to be totally severed. Spanier needs to be incarcerated and black-listed for the terrible blight he has put on Penn State.

When I was in college, if you didn't know to stay away, you could walk in on random, multiple partner, anal sex in the library men's room. Any time, day or night. And if you reported it to the campus police, they would just ignore you. It was an unwritten policy that the library bathroom was the official place for gay cruising and if you stumbled in on it and were offended, you should have been more attuned to and tolerant of the gay community on campus.

At the same time, a heterosexual student was expelled from the school for writing the word "fag" on his friend's whiteboard, even though the friend wasn't gay or offended.

Somebody saw the word and found his sensibilities assaulted, which the university just would not tolerate.

Thanks for your comment. Unless people have been immersed in the environment, it’s difficult to understand the power it has.

Excellent!

Political correctness is a deceiptful system of thought and expression that hides sexual perversion and diversity racism and it’s terrible reality and consequences on individuals, families and society. Children, because they are the most vulnerable to abuse, suffer the most.

I might have gotten my ass whipped that night, and I might have been charged with assault, and I might have lost my job. Sandusky would have been interrupted though

It begs the question, do perverts gravitate towards sports as recruiting grounds? They sure are pissed that the BSA forbids them, but no college or high school bans as far as I know (until they’re caught).

Reminding us that Nazism was a youth movement and that German universities were hotbeds of that movement.And paradoxically, of communism as well.

Why rob banks? Because that’s where the money is.
