A Medical Student Questioned Microaggressions. UVA Branded Him a Threat and Banished Him from Campus.

Would not expect anything less from a libtard academic university in the heart of libtard VA.

[Savage Beast]

So much for freedom of speech, freedom of inquiry, and the free exchange of ideas in the quest for truth—the foundation of Western Civilisation!

This mess at the school needs to be cleaned up or shut the thing down.

[dan on the right]

What a disgrace!

My son went to UVA; beautiful place.

At the end of the day, however, it is just another state run school run by socialists and communists.

Shouldn’t be surprised. At least I won’t feel compelled to send them any money.

Micro-aggression is the dumbest thing ever thought of by intelligent humans. Two or more people will always bring their life experiences into an encounter. None of them knows the experiences of the other. Someone is bound to say something that will “trigger” a thought or emotion in the other. It’s not their fault, they couldn’t possibly even know what is going on in another person’s mind.

Seems to me this is a way to discourage dialogue and accept doctrine. Wear a label on your lapel as warning to all others about how you may or may not be allowed to speak.

Or as I am prone to do, put my foot in my mouth. I mean to say one thing but say out loud in a very awkward way once in a while. It happens. We’re human.

“Professors”, “Universities”......nough said.

He must sue each of those state employees as individuals for using their state delegated positions to violate his constitutional rights. They must be held personally responsible and required to pay for their own defense. Its the only real way to stop this nonsense.

I am shocked that a med student would show so little respect toward faculty members. It worries me how he will do on wards."

Maybe he would show respect towards them if they confined themselves to teaching medicine. As it is, they are only deserving of contempt. I hope he wins his case.

Clearly Anti-Asian “Hate Speech”. The med student’s voice was being suppressed. How does the woke-math work and how many points does microaggression vs racist, hate-speech count for? 2-1 win for student?

Actually the real infraction was failure to be subservient to a cultural-marxist, academic mandate and to the left, this trumps any other score since “the issue is never the issue, the Revolution is Always the issue.”

[Sgt_Schultze]

It's clear this Nora Kern, an assistant professor (of Urology), has a problem dealing with alternate opinions. That she retaliated against a questioner when her associate was unable to coherently defend her own position indicates problems with the professionalism of the Kern person. I would be apprehensive engaging her for personal medical care, fearing her unstable overreaction to a simple Q/A interaction would presage a problem should I disagree to pursue a treatment she recommended.

I would opt for a more responsible physician.

[grateful]

So, is banishing him from campus a MACROaggression?

“This mess at the school needs to be cleaned up or shut the thing down.”

And who do you expect is going to do that?

[Third Wheel]

“...run by socialists and communists.”

Indeed. Just like East Germany and the USSR, if you disagree with government you are blacklisted and labeled as mentally unbalanced.

HAHAHAHAHA. “First Amendment Rights!!!?” Where the hell does this guy think he lives? First amendment is dead. Gone. unless you’re burning down cities for “justice” you have no first amendments rights.

[Chode]

only grievance studies micro-brains see micro-aggressions...

[mjp]

thought control:
we don’t need no stinkin independent rational judgments

[Dead Corpse]

“Baseless accusations of unspecified wrongdoings”...

Sounds like the very essence of “microaggression”. He refused to just shut up and go along as they wanted him to. He dared question dogma.

As usual on the Left, heretics must be marginalized and burned at the stake.
