To Create "Hostile" Atmosphere
Brenda Smith-Lezama, vice president of the Missouri Students Association, appeared on MSNBC Tuesday afternoon to express her disdain at people using their First Amendment rights to create a "hostile" and "unsafe" learning environment. Smith-Lezama advocated for a safe space for "healing" rather than "experiencing a lot of hate."
MSNBC host Thomas Roberts asked Smith-Lezama to respond to a professor who "complained" universities are becoming intolerant of opposing views.
"One professor complained universities are becoming places of prohibition," Roberts said. "What's your feeling? Do you believe that's a place we are heading for American campuses now? "
"I personally am tired of hearing that first amendment rights protect students when they are creating a hostile and unsafe learning environment for myself and for other students here," Smith-Lezama said on MSNBC. "I think that it's important for us to create that distinction and create a space where we can all learn from one another and start to create a place of healing rather than a place where we are experiencing a lot of hate like we have in the past."
Smith-Lezama said the treatment of a student journalist who was accosted on Monday should be a "teachable moment" for those who approach the protestors with "hostility."
"I think it's a teachable moment for all of us," she said of the incident. "I also think it's important to remember that as student journalists, you cannot approach these type of situations with hostility and with anger because it only escalates the situation." Posted on November 10, 2015

It’s one thing to protest, another thing to systematically campaign to get people fired and disrupt the stability of the campus. I am so glad I didn’t go to university right away as a naive young adult. No point in racking up a debt the amount of a new house each year, only to be unable to study because of these lunatics disrupting the learning environment.
On the contrary, I am all for firing all of these stupid progressive professors! The idiots that come out of their universities demonstrate the problems - what more do you need to not want them fired? If the teachers unions had any real power, they would rid themselves of these idiots!
Brenda you ignorant slut.
She can take her teachable moment and shove it up her @ss..maybe that will shut her up since she talks out of it
Not only ignorant, but a hypocrite to boot.
“I personally am tired of hearing that first amendment rights protect students...”
...then in almost the same breath...
“I also think it’s important to remember that... ...you cannot approach these type of situations with hostility and with anger...”
Unless you are Brenda the Blessed.
Cage theory. Cage the vocal lefties before they put us on cattle cars.

There’s your future America.
You voted for it for some good feels and MSM puff pieces.
Guess you voted wrong.
Oh well. :)
In the vernacular of the protesters:
Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Brenda Smith-Lezama, vice president of the Missouri Students Association has got to go!
She’s right. It’s about time we started using our 2nd Amendment as well.
I wonder what her reaction is to this: Mizzou student body president admits to spreading false rumor KKK was on campus

They are too ignorant to even imagine just how ignorant they are.
That she is ‘offended’; pleases me to no end...
Stalin is proud. He didn’t tolerate Free Speech either. So he created the Soviet Union, one large safe space for leftists.
Where was all this “healing” when we had to study p-chem, diff-eq, and a host of other really tough courses to get through each week?
Facts don’t matter; only advancing the narrative.
Guilt or innocence don’t matter; only the accusations.
These “brilliant” little snowflakes are the product of the Obama era. They were 10, 11, 12 when he was elected. They are possibly the least educated most pampered generation yet. Subjected to twisted doublespeak and political correctness honed by decades of the left in institutions of learning.
You know what would be all my all time favorite 1st amendment right? To hear the Mizzou football team booed at 100 decibels by fans at their next home game. Now that would send a message.
