Students at Brandeis University spent Monday effusively supporting Khadijah Lynch, their fellow student who took to Twitter to celebrate the brutal, execution-style murder of two New York Police Department officers this weekend.
“i have no sympathy for the nypd officers who were murdered today,” Lynch had spouted on Saturday afternoon.
“lmao, all i just really dont have sympathy for the cops who were shot. i hate this racist ****ing country,” the junior also tweeted. (RELATED: Fancypants College Student: ‘No Sympathy’ For Brutally Executed Cops)
Another Brandeis student, Daniel Mael, publicized these and other fanatical tweets from Lynch’s then-public Twitter account on Truth Revolt.
On Monday, a throng of angry Brandeis students criticized Mael. Some suggested that the Brandeis administration should punish him for citing Lynch’s public tweets.
Brandeis senior Michael Piccione, a member of the 2014-15 student conduct board, sent an urgent email to the president of Brandeis, senior administrators, radical leftist professors and students.
The email — entitled “VERY IMPORTANT: Holding Daniel Mael accountable, and other threats to student safety!” — claimed that “Mael has exposed Khadijah to the largely white supremacist following of the website.” (The website to which Piccione refers is Truth Revolt.)
For reporting about Khadijah’s vile tweets, Piccione declared, Mael “has potentially violated multiple parts” of a Brandeis code of student conduct including “stalking.”
“Khadijah specifically requested that her personal comments be removed from the website and the article in question taken down, but her wishes were ignored,” the student conduct board member also whined.
Piccione’s lament refers to Lynch telling Truth Revolt that her public tweets are her “own personal opinion.” Lynch had threatened that she does not want her tweets “publicized in any form and if you do not abide my wishes i constitute your disregard as slander.”
Lynch does not appear to understand the difference between slander, which is spoken, and libel, which is written. Her fellow students at Brandeis appear similarly unable to comprehend this distinction.
On the Brandeis Class of 2017 OFFICIAL page, a closed Facebook group, sophomore William Amara has written: “I am sorry that Khadijah has to put up with these ****ing ***holes publishing (and likely distorting) her private opinions to further incite racial hatred and oppression. I hope the university will stand with you if these ********** cause things to escalate further.”
Amara calls the quoting of Khadijah’s tweets “slander.”
Clifton Joseph Masdea also calls the publication of Khadijah’s tweets “slanderous.” In addition, after asserting that Truth Revolt is home to “racist *-holes,” Masdea calls Mael’s publication of Lynch’s tweets “a classic case of cyberbullying.”
Even the Brandeis Asian American Student Association has joined the pile-on against Mael.
Despite the fact that one of the slain New York police officers, Wenjian Liu, was as Asian-American, the student group proclaimed “sympathy” and “readiness to stand by” Lynch via a Facebook posting. She “has been wrongfully targeted and harassed,” the group said.
“We recognize your right to speak freely,” the Asian-American students publicly told Lynch. However, the group pointedly did not recognize Mael’s right to speak freely. It did end its email with the hashtag “#StandWithKhadijah.”
Lynch has received a smattering of support on Twitter as well.

I #StandWithKhadijah and @BrandeisAAAS because no one's life/education/job should be threatened over some TWEETS taken out of context.

Lynch, who last month tweeted she does not understand why “black people have not burned this country down,” erased her entire Twitter page after Mael exposed her views. She also resigned her title as the undergraduate department representative in the Brandeis African and Afro-American studies department.
One year of tuition, mandatory fees and room and board at Brandeis costs about $60,300 (a little over $6,000 more than America’s median household income of $53,891).
The school, one of America’s foremost hothouses of silly leftism, is most famous for choosing to take back an honorary degree it was going to bestow during its commencement ceremonies upon Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a women’s rights advocate and a vocal critic of Islam.

In the summer, Mael uncovered a huge listserv used by Brandeis professors containing several scary exchanges bashing conservatives, Jews and Christians. In one email, sociology professor Gordon Fellman shared an article suggesting that the Boston bombers were not motivated by an anti-American doctrine of Islamism, but instead driven by poverty and “cruel anti-immigrant policies of both Presidents Bush and Obama.” (RELATED: Activist Exposes Brandeis University Anti-Israel Faculty Listserv)
Dung beatles serve a useful purpose.
Leftists and Locusts just eat and destroy.
These people are brainwashed fools. The US is probably the least racist country on Earth
When they get out of their high and mighty college and get career government jobs with 6 figure salaries, they are going to be the first one calling the cops when they spot someone in their neighborhood
Quoting someone directly is never slanderous or libelous.
What’s interesting about Liberia is that they named the capital after James Monroe the US Presdident at the time. Also, they started taking their own slaves and set up a chattel slavery system there that lasted into the later part of the 1900’s
Probably a stupid question. But since I never attended a $60,000 year bastion of “higher education” then I guess that makes me ignorant enough to ask it.
Can you really be sued for libel for quoting someones own words? Twitter is in the public domain, right? And removed or not there is no doubt that she wrote these things. But now she’s screaming slander(sic)?
Brandeis was a left wing toilet 40 years ago.
When they say Asian-American do they mean Pakistani muslims or Chinese?
Kind of the point...
The grass is always greener sort of thing. America is so bad, go some place else.
I'd wager than none of these minds full of stalinist excrement ever stood with Rush Limbaugh when Media Smatters took HIM out of context.
The just see who can say the most stupid crap to get respect feel important among their peers.
Mama said we had to get her a goose or a few ducks for Christmas dinner. The ranting of some stupid college students has absolutely no effect on whether I get a goose and a few ducks tomorrow morning so I don’t care.
And Africans hate “African-Americans” with a passion.
Her resentment is the resentment of a spoiled and pampered brat, the ingratitude bred of a spirit of entitlement.
American culture sees each one as an individual and one’s guilt or innocence is told by their own actions during a trial. We Christians forgive and move on rather than holding onto old injustices and exacting tribal revenge. We know God will sort ‘em out and we need not be burdened by a collection of tribal or group revenges.
Black Americans would no longer exist if white Americans were into anti-Christian/Western tribalism as Blacks are today. Their “tribal” crimes against the white tribe since de-segregation, would have done them in.
Our Western culture is far superior to tribalism.
Yep, I am sure some moozlum countries would accept her with open arms where she can read and learn and get a free education and have the freedom of speech to say how bad the country is.
NOT!
Having been to many different parts of the world, the USA is one of the least racist countries. A black person in any Asian country is officially treated like dirt. Racism is alive an well all over the world, regardless of race. More accurately, it is tribalism.
I had a black Muslim friend tell me what happened to him in Mecca. He said there were Arabs that treated him like trash, and he was there on Hajj, just like the rest of them.
I could go on all day...
It is the LEAST racist country, it's not even close.
But since she talks the way she does, it only proves that she is so “enlightened” and “passionate” and “progressive” and she is such a “critical thinker”. Just ask her upwardly mobile peers.
PUKE
That’s interesting. My Jewish uncle who lived in Worcester, MA all of his adult life and who was pretty wealthy and had no children, had given willed his money to Brandeis as well. He had no connection to Brandeis. (He changed it when my mother ended up taking care of him at the end of his life). HOWEVER, I always wondered who was getting a kickback from Brandeis in Worcester, MA for that one.
