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 didnt 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 Federalists request for comment.

I can't imagine a conservative doing this. He must have heard a Democrat in, what was supposed to be, a private conversation.
CW2 approaches.
So Penn State chose not to educate the ignorant student (after failing to recruit a smart one) that the Democrat Party is the Party of Racism, the Ku Klux Klan, filibustering the Civil Rights Amendment, and bragging of social programs that "would have them N-words voting Democrat for the next 100 years" (Lyndon Johnson).
Penn State instead aimed for being an Institute of Lower Learning.
So “outrage” trumps (pun intended) intellectual discussion of ideas.
Dear conservatives: We appreciate your attendance at Pedo State University because, frankly, we need your money but make no mistake about it, you’re the new n-words around here. Shut up and don’t say or do anything that might make us think you’re “uppity” or your future here at Pedo State will be cancelled. Got it?
Cordially,
Your fellow students and faculty at Pedo State. Go Lyins!
You are too optimistic
Dumb people are in charge all over the world, it can also happen here.
Ped state is inclusive of leftists and child molesters.
Do we give them any money from the federal government?
Importance is in the eye of the beholder.
Yeah, right.
Remember this?
Never happened. Berkeley never missed a dime in Federal funds.
“At what point do we start fighting back?”
Probably about the same time we stop talking about it?

It seems that the talk is never ending.
The Dems can fight and talk at the same time. We need to fight fire with fire.
Wish I could retract my sons tuition.
Trump apparently has little control over the Federal government, civilian or military. Three and one half years with two attorneys general, and not one of the many Democratic scandals have been pursued, not even the lower echelon players. The President had to rely on the Department of Homeland Security to protect the White House and the Federal monuments. In the cases of the 1968 Martin Luther King riots and the 1931 Bonus Army riots, the military was used to suppress the outbreaks in the District of Columbia. Why wasn’t this done in 2020? Initially, the Secretary of Defense sent 1,200 troops to Washington, but reversed course almost immediately. Given statements by the Secretary of Defense, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Attorney General Barr contradicting or disputing Trump’s statements and positions, it is clear that most of the U.S. government is disobedient, if not outright mutinous.
Dear White/Black/Biracial/Multiracial Male students:
Your views are welcome here. NOT.
That's not completely true. The California University System was running slush fund where vendors would refund unused contract amounts that instead of going back into the education fund were put into a Nancy Pelosi slush fund (run out of UC Berkeley). Someone from within the Cal State system likely dimed them out and the Feds cut the exact amount of the slush fund from the Federal funds.
“At what point do we start fighting back?”
NOW. If we don’t start now, we will lose. Mark my words.
Conservative students should come back and say they are threatened by the leftists. Systemic discrimination against their beliefs.
To conservative students - come here and get Sandusky-ed.
