Some of the students at Syracuse University objected this week to a talk by activist Yeonmi Park, who escaped the communist nightmare of North Korea.

They called Park a liar and tore up flyers meant to promote her appearance.

Campus Reform reported:

Leftist students call North Korean defector Yeonmi Park a ‘liar,’ destroy fliers for her event at Syracuse

Leftist students at Syracuse University recently voiced opposition to an event featuring Yeonmi Park, a North Korean defector.

Ahead of the event hosted by the Syracuse College Republicans in partnership with Young America’s Foundation, students destroyed fliers and posted messages critical of Park and the College Republicans in an online forum.

Park, who delivered her speech on Apr. 5, “has criticized concepts like political correctness, trigger warnings and ‘woke culture’ in her career,” according to the student newspaper, The Daily Orange.

Yeah, all those crying for communism need to be sent to live in one of those countries to experience it for themselves.

Exactly. I liked it here just fine before these commie dupes started agitating for ‘change’. Tell ‘em they are free to go to the nation of their choice (one-way ticket) that has a government that already does what they are agitating for.....

Why would they call her a liar? Aren’t these American snot nosed liberals who feel threatened by words that don’t line up with their world view? How many protestors have actually been to NK or have even met a Nork expat?

This makes me think of when I was a student in Berkeley, after the Red Chinese began to adopt some reforms. I saw posters calling people to support Socialist Albania. I guess Enver Hoxha was the only true-blue Communist at that time.

By all means, lets trade woke idiots for North Korean defectors. Koreans are industrious. Wokesters not so much.

“the event hosted by the Syracuse College Republicans in partnership with Young America’s Foundation”

I hope they have good, proper security by way of bikers armed with baseball bats. Because the usual college security guards just don’t cut it.

Perhaps a fund could be set up to buy tickets to North Korea for anyone who wishes to experience the goodness.
