Cornell Student Government Removes Two For Not Voting To Defund Police

Cornell University’s student government removed two executive committee representatives who voted against a resolution to disarm the police at the Ivy League campus.

The Student Assembly on Dec. 8 removed Annie Gleiberman for voting against a resolution to disarm the university's police department, saying she condoned "acts of racism, physical aggression, and emotional violence" by voting against the resolution.

And when a fellow executive rep, Morgan Baker, said she wouldn’t vote for it either — becoming a procedural block because a unanimous vote was needed — members temporarily removed her to get to a unanimous tally, The Washington Free Beacon reported.

A previous motion to defund the police failed after 15 representatives on the Student Assembly opposed it. Following Baker and Gleiberman's removal, 13 of them wrote a commentary in The Cornell Daily Sun blasting the student government for its "brazenly undemocratic display."

"The simple fact of the matter is that the executive committee wants to stack the [student government] with loyal allies who will not question their abuses of power and violations of [student assembly] rules," they wrote.

The 13 representatives also claim the executive committee is planning to selectively use existing but normally unenforced rules on attendance and committee membership to remove members who voted against the "defund the police" resolution.

Weston Barker, the head of Cornell's College Republicans, told the Washington Free Beacon he wasn’t surprised.

"These individuals are career harassers who have used and continue to use fear, defamation, and their social status to put down any form of dissent," Barker said.

Nice. So what’s the point of voting?

Identifying your enemies, apparently.

Hey, law enforcement: I heard you would fight against the patriots who may be forced to defend the last vestiges of American freedom. As people in uniform follow orders.

We are the good people who support you and respect you.
Look at how the leftists and academics view you. They are coming into full dictatorial power now.

Think about it.

“These guys make Stalin look like a piker.”

Not quite, but give them time.
They need a cadre of Bolsheviks for the wet work.

” So what’s the point of voting?”

“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.”

A fake but accurate quote from Mark Twain.

Annie Gleiberman ousted by the Marxist university Student Govt at Cornell? No surprise. Just another attack on outspoken, conservative Jewish student leaders. Yes, it is anti-Semitism disguised as PC crap re defund the police.

I’m compiling a list of Jewish teachers, students, writers, etc. who have been attacked and blackballed by schools, publications and their so-called liberal colleagues. It keeps growing day by day.

Welcome to the “ACADEMIC KHRISTALLNACT”, Cornell Un. style.

PS: Cornell, under Marxist and possible communist spy Prof. George McT. Kahin, helped create a very successful “Hanoi Lobby and Propaganda/Disinformation” group in his SE Asian Studies program back in the 60’s/70’s.

There are a few good professors at Cornell but Marxists and Trump haters are very active in the Law School, foreign studies, and other departments. I believe “Campus Reform” or “Campus Watch” has a list of who’s who on the left at Cornell and other colleagues.

Here’s hoping their police-free environment visits them swiftly, personally and very very painfully. But no deadly force of course, just violence and demolition.

Physics and Math have already been deemed racist.
The State says 2+2=5.
If you believe it equals 4, you be a racist censored censored.
