We really should calexit if there is still time.
So much money poured into the Leftist cesspools of academia.
But he probably believes the “right” to abortion is absolute, even though it is not mentioned in the constitution.
He also doesn’t see the 8th Amendment as absolute, which is why I see the 2nd as absolute.
“Congress shall make no law...” is an ABSOLUTE prohibition.
So is “...shall not be infringed.”
I’d bet big money that the professor sees the “rights” to abortion, and to vote, and criminalize discrimination, as absolute rights...even though two of those are not enumerated in the Constitution, and voting was viewed by the authors of the Constitution as a privilege that could be granted or denied as the legislature saw fit.
One of the best reasons to cut education subsidies is that it cuts funding to commies.
In fact the right to free speech is not absolute where the excersise thereof would cause physical harm to others.
An oft used example would be shouting “FIRE!” (when none exists) in a crowded movie theatre.
The right to bear arms is also limited in certain ways such as age, criminal background, etc.
The first and second amendments are absolute. Misuse is not an exercise of these rights.
Misuse of either should be harshly punished..
But the moment you try and modify/restrict/censor anything this clowns says, he’ll be going nuts. Typical liberal hypocrite.
If the US Constitution is so problematic- why should UCLA continue to receive Federal funding for research grants?
All these amendments were written by dead white men, so nobody in Calexico needs to pay any attention to them. :-(
Many don’t see school funding as an absolute.
I assume he thinks Roe v. Wade is absolute.
I am so sick of the left blaming Trump and his “rhetoric” for their extreme hatred and anger which fuels much of the political violence out there. This out-of-control hate is in the left’s heads and they will not accept responsibility nor will they try to quiet it. I think they relish the “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” although they do not call it such, because the wilder their anger, the more “cred” they get from the left. It is truly deranged.
I am unbelievably offended!! This professor must stop talking or lose his job. And I demand the federal government, through the FBI and ATF, to enforce my demand by using force, if necessary, so this professor stops talking. His right to free speech is not absolute.
JoMa
I don’t see universities as absolute. Stop funding communist indoctrination centers with our money.
Somebody left the padded cell door open.
"Douglas Kellner is a Distinguished Professor in the Departments of Education, Gender Studies, and Germanic Languages..." UCLA.edu
Sounds just like the sort of "liberal" I need running my life and deciding how the Constitution should apply to me.
Yeah. Communists think they can say things like this and get away with it.
If they don’t like an aspect of the constitution there are two ways to change it. Call a convention or propose an amendment. They know they won’t get the votes needed so they try to destroy the original with false interpretations.
Murdering a UCLA prof is not absolutely wrong.
