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.

Oberlin and Vassar? Hardly news.

The formatting issues in the articles these days are getting pretty difficult to handle.

The Constitution is only oppressive toward GOVERNMENT. Anyone who find it as such is therefore a statist and anti-American.

It is a bit of reach. Kind of like an undercover police officer putting a wallet with a couple of hundred dollar bills on the street, pointing it out to an unemployed man, and arresting him when he picks it up and puts the bills in his pocket.

It shows basic intent, but he likely would not have done it without the prompting.

ez :" The Constitution is only oppressive toward GOVERNMENT. "

The U.S. Constitution protects people FROM Government intrusion.
Little wonder why Statists, Facists , and Communists violate the Constitution

For O’Keefe it’s like shooting fish in a barrel... Liberal professors are sooooooo lame - and willing.

Even Mao didn’t give credence to the hysterics, just the jackbooted thugs who were clear and consistent in their hatred.

Try shredding government law in China, Cuba, North Korea, or any of those other fine hellholes and see what happens to you.
