The Pres of Williams believes his special snowflakes could not handle Derbyshire.

They probably can’t handle an alternative viewpoint.

The students who can are carrying CAR-14 and a ruck, overseas.

They have done this before:

Personally, I dislike Derbyshire, who, while a talented wordsmith, has descended into bigotry too often for my taste.

However, if you are going to sponsor “uncomfortable learning” he is probably exactly the type of person you want. Someone who you violently disagree with, but can help you sharpen your arguments as you identify intellectually why you disagree instead of just emotionally disagreeing.

Leftists should view it as a worthy challenge. Instead they have the vapors and faint at the thought that their precious campus is polluted by such a brute.

Ironic that the “Uncomfortable Learning” program can’t handle uncomfortable learning.

The Derb is quite handy with a shotgun

And it’s not just the left anymore, it’s cucks like NRO who run screaming with their hands over their ears lest they hear some uncomfortable truths. Whatever they may really think, if they haven’t been thoroughly indoctrinated, they don’t have the courage of their convictions, givng any of them the benefit of a doubt that they have any.

I can't get too deep in the weeds on this so take what I say as being the real deal.

In these institutions their are renegades that are starting to ask about intellectual diversity and the lack their of.

One of my gnomes attended a meeting with a Libertarian leaning Teacher / Prof and many students attended. Many of these institutions have a policy if you get 7 or 9 kids in writing to request a club, it is often granted, ergo LBGT clubs etc. So an Intellectual Diversity Club can't be nixed now can it? ;-) After all you are Diverse on your Campus now aren't you? ;-)

My guess is the Leftist tower of babble is cracking.

The walls are coming down, ya heard it hear 1st...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kX8lqXAONg

Talk about diversity of viewpoint is cheap, but let’s face it, so is action. If Falk had to thumb-wrestle somebody to get Derbyshire to speak, that’d be more than he actually does have to do. This sort of thing is cowardice and laziness dressed up in piety. Not impressed.

Adam Falk should shut up and educate.
