Penn State Retracts Statement Saying Conservative Voices Are Important

Penn State University recently made a surprising statement about intellectual diversity, only to retract it after outrage from left-wing students.

“Dear conservative students. Your viewpoints are important,” the announcement read, referencing the isolation and self-censorship many conservative students experience on left-wing campuses. According to the schools Director of Strategic Communications, it was part of a statement aimed at creating a supporting and inclusive environment for students.

The message of inclusivity was swiftly met with fire by left-wing students who, according to the school newspaper, “found the Tweet harmful towards students of color and ignorant of the systemic issues that oppress people of color in the United States today.” A number of the offended students statements were then published in the Collegian, where the message was called “disgusting” and a “humiliation for communities of color.”

Some of the left-wing students attacked the statement as they didn’t consider free speech for conservatives a serious issue on campus. The others, ironically, attacked the statement for welcoming conservative viewpoints at all. “(Conservative students) are the students that call us the N-word and show us first-hand what white-supremacy is,” one of the published students claimed.

The University quickly crumpled, and retracted the statement. They did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.

What a joke. Just the fact they had to come out and make that statement meant that the statement was in doubt. Then they went and gave proof to the fact that doubt was more than just reasonable, it is solidly true. These people are supposed to be societies best thinkers. What an embarrassment.

Penn State installed these two monuments for its woke students.

Penn State Director of Strategic Communications William Hessert, Jr told Campus Reform that the tweet was deleted because, while it was meant “to express the inclusive, democratic and participatory values of the liberal arts,” the “message was not being received well and it is important for us that our messages be received as intended.”

“While we do not believe in deleting our posts, given the sensitivities of the matter we felt that it was better to remove it,” Hessert added.

So you'll replace it with a message that will "be received as intended"?

Bankrupt them and send their communist professors to deliver pizzas

This may be happening anyway. They know they are in deep doodoo without students to control.

The Left college and university activists tend to be uncompromising in their demands yet their real world is full of contradictions.... they promote a radical subjectivity in which individuals should be free to do whatever they wish and to define the truth as they choose. Yet it calls for enforced conformity of belief to their philosophy and dogma.

Conservative lives don’t matter?

Only the lives we choose matter???

We need to start laughing whenever people on the left claim to be for “tolerance” and “inclusivity.” Eventually it will just be a joke like being “triggered.” They’ll hate it if no one takes them seriously and makes fun of their hypocrisy.

[Huskrrrr]

Left wing pukes are running this Country.

[Brilliant]

At what point do we start fighting back?

Grandson just graduated from there,loved it, and he is a nice young man.

“Um- some black folks are conservatives!”

But Biden said they aren’t really black if they don’t vote Dem, so by leftist “logic” no, there aren’t black conservatives… And leftist thought police don’t allow different opinions, so this must be accepted as fact...

Looks like the Ministry of Propaganda didn’t do a good enough job on your re-education, comrade.

In other words, "we're completely in favor of free speech for all but that certainly doesn't include hate speech." So the end of the "higher learning" system is in sight.

DEFUND ALL SCHOOLS

that’s because I’d have to have a brain before i could be brainwashed

[shelterguy]

Here is the way to determine who is hated on campus.

Have a black student walk across campus.

Then have a white student wearing a MAGA hat walk across campus.

See who gets their ass kicked first.

“Um- some black folks are conservatives!”

.... yeah, but they’re not really black though.

Truth is hate to those who hate the truth.

What we are witnessing as we have been witnessing with Islam is The truth coming out slowly but surely

The truth about Islam is that Mohammed was a psychotic perverted maniac who commanded his power Only from coercion and the sword

Www.prophetofdoom.net. Is Craig Winn’s great site going through all the history of the books. Quran Hadith etc

Now the reason I’m bringing up Islam first is because they’re the oldest and best at violently threatening anyone who counters their narrative

The narrative of the Taliban and Isis and the other violent Islamic groups is

submit. Or die. Or pay a jizya. ( tax ). And we might let you live

These little leftists college educated children wearing their little black uniforms and trying to act like big meanie Anti-fascists

Are a big fat nothing and really no threat to anybody

OK getting back to my main point now - the communists and socialists are being exposed for what they are. Ignorant.

In the 20th century there was generations of people That were forced to live under socialism or communism and some of them like Cuba and North Korea and China still exist

Only a very feeble and uneducated mind , could possibly think that losing freedom !!!!!!! Losing freedom itself. !

to live under such a society and overlords would possibly be of benefit to
them

So the fact is that these leftist cancel culture woke idiots are going to run into a brick wall very soon and that’s called - the truth

Jesus walked this earth more than two millennia ago ; the Bible was written thousands of years before that - and there has been many assaults and attempts to hijack THE WORD over the centuries

These miscreants are not using anything so powerful but are merely just trying to be an anti-theist force

If you pull all the rioters and looters I would say less than 5% would say they have a believe in Jesus or any kind of religion

That’s where it all starts

And it all starts with the parents and their children
