Faculty at the University of California-Merced reportedly held a âteach-inâ Monday night to help students better understand the motives of 18-year-old Faisal Mohammad, who earlier this month wounded four people with a hunting knife before being killed by campus police.
The conservative college news website The College Fixreported that the teach-in was âconspicuouslyâ devoid of discussions of radical Islam, and instead âdelved into topics such as how societyâs notions of masculinity pressure men.â
Mohammad, a freshman studying computer science at UC Merced, was found to have a printout image of the Islamic State flag alongside a handwritten manifesto with detailed instructions to behead students and multiple reminders to âpraise Allah.â Still, investigators have maintained there is no indication that he had any terrorist ties.
Mondayâs teach-in, titled âDonât Turn Our Tragedy Into Hate,â was hosted by the critical race and ethnic studies faculty, The College Fix reported.
One speaker during the panel discussion appeared to blame Mohammadâs anger on societal gender norms.
âAnger, that is really what we think about when we think about emotional men,â she reportedly said. âThey are subject to social sanctions if they deviate from masculinity. If you are perceived as failing at it, you are subject to being called a fag, a pussy, a wimp, pretty much what women are, right?â
âSo when you have this limited ability to sort of express your emotions and possible feelings of emasculation, of low self esteem, how do you really [deal with] that? A lot of times they ⦠engage in violence. They need to compensate for their loss of masculinity in the most manly way they have access to, and unfortunately, a lot of times thatâs violence.â

There is so much of this type of theater of the absurd, that I am thinking the point is to see at what point people will no longer cower to the abusive complainers. It is a huge joke.
The Left so desperately wants everyone to “understand” criminals, Muslim terrorists, thugs, dictators, and tyrants. Why is that?
Didn't these little petunias ever have Mom & Dad beat into them that names cannot hurt you?
BTW, whatever happened to his rejection from the study group? That was the root cause of his anger last week.
Where's the honesty in all this -- he's a jihadi bent on killing infidels. End of story.
Try him, convict him, and off with his head!! His virgins are awaiting.

I’ve been hoping for this also, but the bar is getting lower all of the time and still not quite enough “critical mass” to send a message.
It’s the fault of George W Bush, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Republicans, gun owners, etc, etc, etc.
The “teach in” was probably loaded with the SWP (stupid white people) crowd.
One of my daughter’s college housemates was a certified lunatic who did her master’s work on the injustices of the penal system. As expected, all of those nice people in prison were simply victims of political and socialinjustice and all were innocent. She gave the commencement address and her Mom & Dad were next to us, beaming at their daughter’s “research.” I edged my way to the far end of the crowd to avoid having to hear any more of her lame excuses for the criminals in prison.
Why do they do that? Who knows? How can any collection of humans be so totally devoid of any common sense and so immune to cause/effect and empirical data? Their neurons have to be wired in some weird fashion is all I can conclude. Maybe they were all dropped on their heads as babies.
I once worked for a bank. (Hint: Largest bank failure in US history).
They sent us offsite for 3 days of sexual and minority reeducation.
During our team meeting upon my return (they were big on long, worthless meetings) I was asked what I had learned.
I said "White people are racist and men are pigs. You should have just sent me an email and I wouldn't be 3 days behind in my work".
You really can’t make up this kind of stupidity. Gee, maybe the church in Charleston can have a “Sit in” so they can understand Dylan Roof..oh wait, that scum bag was white so no need to understand him, but since this stabbing scum bag was Muslim everyone has to go awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww let’s all come together and get to know the poor loaf
Well,those little buggers are slippery when they come out.
You are so right!
oh well, these lefties are the soft targets for the violent muslims...
IIRC, regarding the study group...one report I read stated that Faisal was making advances at a female in the group. She was the girlfriend of another male in the study group. Together with her boyfriend they wanted Faisal separated from the study group because he wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.
I don’t have the link to that story, sorry, but I believe it was in a paper local to the incident.
Unbelievable. While Muslims preach they want to kill us, and they do, the LW tells Muslims that they: 1. Aren’t Muslims and 2. They are not really killers, and 3. Islm teaches peace. Meanwhile we have had over a dozen attacks by people who claim to be doing this for Allah and Islam. Not to worry, the LW says, They’re not really dead and the Muslims aren’t really Muslims
“Itâs the fault of George W Bush, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Republicans, gun owners, etc, etc, etc”.
You are right. But how dare you even mention those terrible, hateful people by name. Using their names is so offensive and insensitive./s
Something profound has happened, that is endangering the whole human race. Huge percentages of people aren't acting human anymore.
Self preservation, is the most basic of instincts, and these kids have sworn off it as a badge of honor.
They are taught there there is no right answer. Everyone’s outlook must be evaluated to be as good as your own.
Why it’s prejudiced to think your view is solid. It’s just your views after all. Terrorists have views too, and whose to say their views are wrong.
After all, our Founding Fathers were terrorists don’t you know...
Moral relativism to the absurd...

This is what is taking place > IMO.
