American Thinker’s Thomas Lifson said it best:
Yes, the chants were hurtful (though they were done in private and not intended to be shown in public), and yes, slavery and Jim Crow are unique evils in the history of our nation. But we are on a dangerous path.
Back in 1964, the wave of campus activism that eventually turned our universities into left wing bastions was sparked in the name of “free speech.” We have come full circle, and free speech is the last thing that campuses want to defend.
There is no presumption of privacy in these days of video capable cell phones.
Our universities and colleges became left-wing bastions during World War Two when the loyal American professors and undergraduates enlisted in the military. The 4F, homosexuals, and communists happily took over their posts and then indoctrinated a generation of public school teachers whose students entered the universities starting in the early 1960’s.
The enemy within has been fighting against America for over seventy years now and his trenches are still the schoolroom and his weapons are still the textbooks and the chalkboards.
