Heighland Heights, KY -- A college professor at Northern Kentucky University encouraged her students to vandalize a pro-life display members of the campus Right to Life group set up to oppose abortion.
Not content with urging students to trash the memorial, Dr. Sally Jacobsen participated in the vandalism and was caught on camera by reporters from the student newspaper. Members of the Northern Right to Life, the campus pro-life group, set up hundreds of crosses on a campus lawn to memorialize the babies who have died from abortion since Roe v. Wade.
After Dr. Jacobson and NKU students destroyed the display, members of the group decided put new crosses up in their place and camp out overnight on Thursday to make sure they weren't vandalized again.
The student group also told The Northerner student newspaper it plans to press charges with local police.
"We called the police and told them that we decided to press charges," Julie Broering, treasurer for the group, said. The decision came after members of the pro-life club held a day-long meeting and vote.
Campus police reports indicate several young women destroyed about 400 crosses from the display in the grass in front of the campus center on Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile, Northern Kentucky University President James Votruba has confirmed that Dr. Sally Jacobsen encouraged students in her British literature class to "exercise their free speech" by vandalizing the display.
Jacobson's class meets on Wednesday evening and reporters from The Northerner caught her and NKU student trashing the pro-life display.
"I am very disappointed that this happened," Votruba told The Northerner. "At a university, the opposing views should be able to bump up against each other. Responding with pamphlets or speeches would have allowed the power of ideas to compete."
The student newspaper indicated about 10 students joined Jacobson in vandalizing the display. Police arrived two hours after Jacobson's class period and found the crosses in trash cans across campus.
David Tobergte, an administrative sergeant with the University Police said those involved could face felony theft charges and any students could also face university sanctions regarding the incident.
Dean of Students Kent Kelso apologized for the incident and said those involved would be punished. He indicated he would press for a full police investigation.

Pie addicts.
Looks like that fat old broad won't need to worry about needing an abortion any time soon. But Liberalism is a religion and abortion, feminism, socialism, and evironmentalism are its sacraments, so they are doing what fundamentalist Muslims do when challenged. They destroy, rather than debate.
Dr. Sally needs the door to her office torn down. After all it's free speech.
Vandalism is not free speech. She should be fired, prosecuted and sued.
Man-hating lesbian tub-o-lards.
Militant radical man and life-hating feminism at work.
Radical feminism is the worst thing in the world.
Indeed....it looks like she and the vast majority of her followers would have tremendous difficulty getting knocked up by anything short of a fifth of Jack and a turkey baster.

Bringing spirituality into women's movement: We shed a spiritual light onto women's issues so that women's struggles do not become limited to only one portion of the world's women and so that the women's movement does not fall ilnto the trap of hating those people whose actions retard women's progress. Spirituality has been and will always be an essential source of strength and unity for women, and cannot be left behind if women are to move forward.
It's great to see a group that really practices what they preach!
The infamous feminatzi
World Government
PROUT supports the creation of a world governance system having a global bill of rights, global constitution and common penal code in order to guarantee the fundamental rights of all individuals and nations, and to settle regional and international disputes. As the global economy becomes decentralized, it will be advantageous to also have a global political system.
Kinda tells you where these 'thinkers' are at...
A lot of professors are like big kids themselves in many ways. They try to recapture or preserve their youth by talking and acting "hip" and the easy influence they have on young people only reinforces this. When I was in school I had several like this, even in a small, southern liberal-arts college. Some WERE cool, but they knew the limits and didnt let fun on a biology trip cross that thin line of depravity.
A feminazi earns her title.
With "professors" like this, universities are pits.
What is it that she's professing that college students need to be proseletyzed about?
