An ACLU Kentucky communications associate criticized Transylvania University on Saturday for accepting Nick Sandmann, the high school student who sued major news outlets for their coverage of a controversial interaction he and several of his classmates had with a Native American activist.
“Does anyone else think it’s a bit of a stain on Transylvania University for accepting Nick Sandman [sic]? I’m sure it’s a “both sides” defense, but it’s pretty counter to their mission and another instance of there not actually being equal sides to an issue,” ACLU’s Samuel Crankshaw said in a Facebook post first uncovered by Jonathan Turley.
“I think TU should accept anyone willing to have an open mind and engage in debate, regardless of their views. That’s how we all learn,” he continued. “But this kid clearly is a provocateur in training with no intention of learning. He exists only to troll, intimidate and play victim.”
An assistant professor and diversity scholar at the university, Dr. Avery Tompkins, commented on the post calling Sandmann’s “public behavior and rhetoric atrocious and uninformed” and saying he would closely monitor Sandmann at the school.
“We can’t not admit academically qualified students due to their political and personal views. If he ends up in my Intro class, fine. He might learn something that is actually based on research and evidence,” he said.
Tompkins said Sandmann is part of organizations with “anti-intellectualist views” and would likely “view me as part of some liberal brainwashing machine, but signing up for Transy and my class means he is required to learn that information, even if he disagrees.”
The professor continued: “If he were to cause problems by being disruptive, trolling, or engaging in unethical behavior of any kind, I would immediately document it”

Can we remember in his first race for president, George H.W. Bush said various Dem positions showed “They are ACLU liberals”? And used the convicted felon Willie Horton’s release video for effective TV ads that suburban women really liked?
So long ago. But ACLU is still on top of the world.
Samuel Crankshaw, stalwart defender of Civil Liberties, ACLU Kentucky since 2019. Sam received his BA from Transylvania University in International Affairs and French Language and Literature, with a minor in Studio Art. He graduated summa cum laude and is a Transylvania Scholar.
Pronouns: he, him, his.
Professor Avery Tompkins Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Sociology and Diversity Scholar, Transylvania University.
Pronouns: he, him, his.
There is no reason to think he has $80 million or even 8millon. He would be doing really well to have gotten $800,000 in his settlements. The boy still has his whole life ahead of him and he needs to work for something.
“There are two things that, as a university, we are not able to discuss: our students (without their permission) and personnel matters.”
Yet, that is exactly what Dr. Avery Tompkins did. Will the school take any action against Dr. Tompkins for this violation?
Why would anyone want to attend a school in which you have to post your “pronouns?” I wonder why Nick chose this shithole?
Most likely the Transylvania Trannys...mascot is a very hairy dude running around in drag...
How come the ACLU couldn’t keep the MSM from getting it’s arse sued off:-) Guess the MSM/ACLU didn’t have a case or leg to stand on!
Hi.
Fu@k the ACLU.
Bunch of Marxists. Just like the SPLC.

WTF is THAT?
The university will be monitoring Nick closely.
Well skippy, Nick and his attorney will be monitoring you too. Dont **** up.

Transylvania University is Kentucky’s oldest college, hence the name (founded in 1780, when the territory was called Transylvania). They are a private college, located in the middle of Lexington; that’s about seven miles from my house. Their team is named the Pioneers, not the Trannys or Transys. Personally I think they missed an opportunity when they did not name their team the Vampires.
Also, it is clear to me that the ACLU doesn’t know what really happened in the confrontation between Nick Sandmann and the Native American activist.
The Anti Christian Lawyer’s Union staying true to their core values of marxism.
Crankshaw looks like a sociopath or serial killer in that picture. The “diversity scholar” tranny looks like a real scholar all right...
I was thinking that myself. How is it, we still send federal dollars to the ACLU? That should be funded exclusively by the DNC.
See Post #51.
Hatred
Brilliant.
They changed their name years ago.
They are now the “Antiamerican Commie Lovers Union”.
Good grief! First everything in that write up is completely opposite of his write up of nick. Second, there is absolutely no reason for Nick to take a single class from this fruit cake. He’s a complete unhinged lunatic.
The ACLU is a sick joke.
