University officials agree to rip up Constitution in undercover VIDEO
The Washington Times ^ | November 8, 2015 | Valerie Richardson

Conservatives have long accused academics of shredding the Constitution, figuratively speaking, but a Project Veritas sting operation recently caught them doing it literally.

Undercover video released last week showed administrators at Yale, Cornell, Syracuse, Vassar and Oberlin agreeing to rip up copies of the Constitution handed out off campus after an investigator posing as a student described the document as “triggering” and “oppressive.”

“Well, I think that the Constitution means things to different people; like you said it is a flawed document and the people who wrote it are certainly flawed individuals in my mind,” Cornell lead Title IX investigator Elizabeth McGrath says on the video.

Ms. McGrath agrees to rip up the hand-held copy of the Constitution and run it through a shredder after the female “student” asks, “Is there any way that maybe like we can get rid of it somehow or I can just see that like maybe it will be like therapy for me, like if you can like shred it or something?”

....

“Because in the end, you have got to laugh out loud at these videos as you listen to this chick moan and groan over the Constitution,” she said in a Friday commentary. “It the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard, and these officials swallow it hook, line and sinker.”

Mr. O’Keefe, who makes a cameo dressed up as a copy of the Constitution, said he was also surprised that the operation worked.

“When this idea came up in our newsroom about campus administrators shredding the Constitution because it’s a trigger against students, we didn’t think people would actually fall for it,” he told Campus Reform. “We underestimated just how stupid and politically correct these people are."

The things we often accuse leftist of often seem over-the-top and extreme. But we later find out that we were underestimating them in the exact thing.

No rights for you.

Liar-In-Chief has a lot of supporters on the nation's campuses. But hey, Obie told anyone who would listen before he was elected in 2008 how he believed the US Consitution was flawed in that it was only a set of NEGATIVE RIGHTS.

The programing of our children by these evil, useful idiots who have had their minds blown out by programming can’t use Reason or Logic on purpose and they will destroy your children’s minds (on purpose).

It is the *Fichte* plan to destroy Virtue and Free Will in children—to destroy Reason and make emotions rule so your children remain puerile and dumb-—so they are godless animals with minds like tribal/serf people who were dominant througout the history of the world.

Destroy USA and they destroy the ONLY rational, free government in the history of mankind. That is their goal-—NWO—one “group think” allowed-—slave mentality only—and it is Christianity (Natural Law Theory/Constitution) which is being attacked.

Only the Christian Worldview is in line with Natural Law Theory (Science/Reason) and only Classical Education (incl. Bible) gives people the ability to use Reason and teaches Individualism/Natural Rigths from God.

Aside from the obvious liberal insanity here, what really strikes me about this video is the complete unwillingness or inability on the part of the college administrators to say “no” to the ‘students.’ There have always been stupid college students who have asked college administrators to do stupid things. But, there was a time (and a time not too long ago) would have responded to such a request by saying “no, that’s stupid.”

I get the sense from watching these folks in action that the under-cover ‘students’ could have asked the administrators to do ANYTHING, and they would have done it, just to avoid offending the student.

The excuse, at least of the Oberlin people, is that they were responding to someone claiming a mental illness and didn’t do anything until the person from Project Veritas suggested it, basically humoring them. Plausible, especially when they also agree with PV that it was amazing that the administrators were gullible enough to fall for the con and admitting that they were too easy on whiny undergrads.

taqiyyah,
-- In Islam, the practice of concealing one’s belief and foregoing ordinary religious duties when under threat of death or injury.

-- Lying to non-Muslims in advance for Islam is allowed till Judgment Day Quran 3:28, 16:106

-- It is fine to deceive the infidels. They are just pigs anyways. In fact, al-Taqiyyah of the Qur'an compels protection of Islam by deception.

I wonder what she thinks about the people who wrote Title IX? Were they perfect? With able to walk on water? Or were they flawed too?

A sane person can never anticipate the actions of the insane.
