EXCLUSIVE: Pro-life teen defiant after alleged attack by feminist professor
Fox News ^ | 13 Mar 2014 | Joshua Rhett Miller

Posted on 03/13/2014 4:34:58 PM PDT by mandaladon

A teenage pro-life demonstrator who claims she was assaulted by a feminist studies professor at the University of California in Santa Barbara during a campus event this month told FoxNews.com she is more determined than ever to protest against abortion.

Thrin Short, 16, and her sister Joan, 21, had handed out nearly 1,000 informational pamphlets during a March 4 outreach event organized by the Riverside-based nonprofit Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust before things took an unexpected turn. Associate Professor Mireille Miller-Young approached the demonstrators and a group of students who had gathered and she became incensed, according to Thrin Short, eventually snatching a sign the girl was holding and walking off with it.

“Before she grabbed the sign, she was mocking me and talking over me in front of the students, saying that she was twice as old as me and had three degrees, so they should listen to her and not me,” Thrin Short wrote in an email to FoxNews.com. “Then she started the chant with the students about ‘tear down the sign.’ When that died out, she grabbed the sign.”

With the graphic anti-abortion sign in hand, Miller-Young, whose faculty web page says she specializes in black cultural studies and pornography, then allegedly walked through two campus buildings as Short, her sister and two UCSB students followed closely behind.

“This is one of the most extreme cases of lashing out in anger I’ve ever seen,” she said. “We’ve never seen a professor act so violently toward one of our missionaries or trainees.”.................Free speech is only for liberals

The student was lucky. Sounds like the professor was likely to dyke her up next.

I didn't realize there was a connection between the two. Wonder what her studies have shown and how does she conduct her research.

Associate Professor Mireille Miller-Young

Associate professor is reminiscent of professor 0bama or was he even an associate?

Well, at least two counts of assault and battery and one of robbery should be the opening bid. Suing the university as well as the perpetrator is definitely in order, perhaps for an amount equal to the Wymyn’s Studies annual budget...
