A professor of feminist studies who specializes in teaching pornography, queer theory and black film is accused of going berserk at a California pro-life demonstration last week, stealing and destroying an anti-abortion sign and assaulting a teen girl who tried to retrieve it.
Police are now investigating the events involving Mireille Miller-Young, who teaches at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
According to the Santa Barbara Independent which first broke the story, Miller-Young came across the pro-life display sponsored by the Christian pro-life group Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust on March 4.
Thirteen members of the group had posted banners and literature which displayed graphic imagery of late-term abortions designed to spark conversations with passing students.
Joan Short, a 21-year-old student at Thomas Aquinas College and a member of the pro-life group, told the paper Miller-Young exchanged heated words, complained about the anti-abortion message, and led the gathering crowd into a chant of “Tear down the sign! Tear down the sign!” before grabbing a banner and walking with it across campus.
As Joan called 9-1-1, her 16-year-old sister, Thrin Short, began recording the events on a smart phone, as the pair followed the professor and two of her students into a building to try to retrieve the banner.
The Independent report states:
As Miller-Young and the students boarded an elevator, Joan said that Thrin repeatedly blocked the door with her hand and foot and that Miller-Young continually pushed her back. Miller-Young then exited the elevator and tried to yank Thrin away from the door while the students attempted to grab her video camera. “As Thrin tried to get away, the professor’s fingernails left bloody scratches on her arms,” Joan claimed.

I’m guessing but if THAT (Mireille) is teaching pornography s/he is not qualified.
PhD. New York University (American History and History of the African Dispora
M.A. New York University (American History and History of the African Dispora)
she turn in the same paper twice??
I was under the impression you had to do different work at the phd level. of course, this is nyu.
I actually majored in pornography, queer theory and black film. My favorite part of my new job is when I can ask if they want that supersized.
- women have deep seeded emotional problems due to their upbringing. Not an excuse, just fact.
Dunno...I think she’s Obscene right out of the stye. Half way there already.
How wonderful that she got so many degrees in various ways to disrupt and destroy society. Will she ever pay her student loans?
and the scary part is there are people actually paying, or using tax dollars, to obtain “degree” in these topics.
and we wonder why we’re lagging behind in the world.
bet the chi-coms and Japanese aren’t studying this crap.
Sounds pretty bezerk to begin with. "Teaching" pornography...some institution of "higher learning" that has these kinds of nonsensical classes.
Oral History??
Is this a review of the Clinton presidency??
you can’t make this stuff up!
She was awarded a PhD and the title "Dr." for that. A committee actually reviewed and decided she should be awarded that prestigious degree.
What a joke.
The sad thing is that these angry, feminist bitches are teaching someone’s daughter how to grow up to be an angry, feminist, bitch as well.
There is no better description for the entire lot of that Feminist Studies department than BITCHES. ANGRY, ANGRY BITCHES.
I thought Divine was dead.
And to tag on what I just wrote - these BITCHES are probably largely a product of non-existent or failed fathers - it seems to always be the way - really, really sad....
The men in this country better wake the hell up.
Well, they say that those who cannot do...teach.
When the revolution comes, these people will be unemployed and working for minimum wage.
uh, dude? The word you are groping for is “SEATED” not “seeded.” Try picking up a book once in a while.
Why in the world would anybody With such , er, “qualifications” be permitted anywhere near a classroom, more or less actually hired and paid as a member of a faculty?! The administration of this socalled college has a lot to answer for.

I knew a guy who graduated Phi Beta Kappa (and went on to get a Ph.D.) who took some "women's studies" course as a "filler" when he was an undergrad.
