One sentence in her article makes that clear.
All violence is a breakdown of communication.
No, Allison, not all violence is a breakdown of communication. Someone beat you up solely because they wanted you silenced. They wanted to impose their will on you. No amount of communication would have changed that. Until violence is met with greater violence or blatant threat of overwhelming force, these events will continue.
She is blaming rhetoric for inciting violence. First of all; they chose to be violent first. Regardless of reason, they chose violence. Second; it’s rhetoric they made up. They didn’t so the research into Dr. Murray and ginned up the rhetoric in their own little echo chamber until they talked themselves into believing violence was they only way. If conservatives become violent it will be in answer to the violence chosen by the progressives and then there will be peace.
She’s too willing to shift blame from the students to Trump. She basically says their violence is an understandable (though not excusable) reaction to the “climate” Trump has created. Funny how it’s almost exclusively leftists who are being provoked to violence by this supposed climate.
BUT she deserves some credit for calling out the contemptible SPLC for slandering Murray. She did this in the pages of the NYT, which is not something that happens every day.
So a raving mob of Marxist drones gives her whiplash and a concussion for daring to try to have a debate with a Never Trumper, but yet it’s somehow Trump’s fault.
She tolerates intolerance and supports those that would shut down speech as free speech.
She has to be a professor to miss IRONY this freakin' big.
“...but the college courses I teach are nonpartisan.”
Excuse me why I throw the BS flag. This idiot wouldn’t know non-partisanship if if bit him on the behind.
Ms. Stanger,
President Trump has not demonized Muslims as terrorists. He demonized Muslim terrorists. Can you not perceive the difference?
Very little of the press you refer to is “free”. Describing it as a “hive mind” is far more accurate a description.
You claim President Trump is intent on destroying the separation of powers in the US. How so? Is his rescinding of President Obama’s often clearly unconstitutional orders some sort of attack on separation of powers? Is ordering that existing laws be enforced also that sort of attack? I would argue that insistence that laws be enforced as written strengthens the legislative branch, not weakens it.
Has President Trump done anything further than simply state his disagreement with certain rulings certain judges? Has his administration defied any court orders? Is he not free to state his disagreement, so long as he complies? Who is the censor here?
How many Trump supporters have actually engaged in instances of public violence? How many anti-Trump persons have done so?
Shall I continue?
Meet me again at Kent State!
Basically she’s saying:
Leftist violence is all Trump’s fault.
Talk about brainwashed.
So ending up in the hospital isn’t enough? I wonder what she’ll think when some dissenter ends up in a coffin?
I did feel sorry for her, but not anymore.
Allison YOU ARE GUTLESS. You’re afraid of your peers. Shame on you for your pusillanimous response to FASCISM.
