College caught shredding Constitution in undercover video 'It's an oppressive document'

James O’Keefe’s latest undercover video shows professors at two prestigious private universities openly disparaging, and in one case shredding, the U.S. Constitution.

Project Veritas, O’Keefe’s undercover journalism unit, sent a female journalist disguised as a student to Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, and to Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio.

She got commitments from leadership at each to shred the Constitution, and in the case of Vassar, Project Veritas’ undercover cameras captured the official shredding of the U.S. Constitution.

Kelly Grab, assistant director of equal opportunity at Vassar College, was captured on video saying: “Yes, I think we have a shredder in the front office there. Did you want to do it with me?”

The incident unfurls when an undercover PV journalist relates her personal story of being confronted on campus with someone handing out copies of the U.S. Constitution.

“It really upset me and I ended up having a panic attack,” she says.

“Oh, Cato Institute,” Grab says.

The undercover student then says she started to “hyper ventilate” and “lost control.”

“I didn’t realize this happened but I just realized the Constitution is kind of a trigger for me,” she said.

Grab then goes into counseling mode and indulges the student in her bizarre phobia.

“We don’t want to limit people in exchanging ideas or having opposing viewpoints, but when it’s disruptive or causing harm…”

“Yeah, which I think the Constitution does,” the student says. “I mean, it’s not just me. It’s, I mean I thought Vassar wanted to create like a safe place here, you know a place where students could walk around and not be scared of seeing discriminating things on campus.”

‘A teachable moment’

The counselor shakes her head approvingly and asks if there is some kind of “teachable moment” that can be gleaned from

<<< This should surprise absolutely no one. Colleges are the vanguard of totalitarianism in America, and that’s not hyperbole.>>>>

The surprise is the fact that Republicans don’t care. They have shown no cognitive connection to Education for 50 years. Republican candidates never mention it and Republican voters never demand it.

What other possible outcome should we expect? Conservatives don’t care either, but for using it as an issue, for a pee post, against Democrats who DO care.

It’s rather amazing isn’t it? (My tagline probably works here.)

Thanks for asking. Always copy, save and share!

I think people are enotionally overreacting to it being the Constitution that was shredded, and missing the bigger issue.

Which is that universities are molly-coddling students with safe-spaces and trigger warnings and the like instead of giving students the kinds of life experiences that will allow them to cope and function in the real world.

I don’t see that this Administrator had a problem with the Constitution per se. One way or another, there’s no evidence that the Administrator shredded the copy out of personal spite for it.

The evidence does show that the Administrator was counsing (ie enabling) the “student’s” own childish behavior. What the Administrator should have done is tell the “student”, bluntly, that being exposed to things one finds uncomforable and disturbing is part of life and college is supposed to be in part a life experience where one learns to deal with it.

Great pics of past concerns about communism. Nothing has changed folks! If anything, Obama and the Clintons are doubling down. Reprint them all now in the MSM!
