Brenda Smith-Lezama, vice president of the Missouri Students Association, appeared on MSNBC Tuesday afternoon to express her disdain at people using their First Amendment rights to create a "hostile" and "unsafe" learning environment. Smith-Lezama advocated for a safe space for "healing" rather than "experiencing a lot of hate."

"experiencing a lot of hate."

Look in the mirror, lady.

How ironic that the very same Liberals conservatives have opposed are themselves destroying the very same Libtard colleges conservatives loathe.

How is this University qualified to run a nuclear
reactor as it does?

I seriously want to bitch slap Brenda Smith-Lezama. I pull hair, too.

What the hell happened to the “show me” state?

[GraceG]

If she doesn’t like the 1st amendment maybe she should move to the socialist utopias of either Cuba or Venezuela

"I personally am tired of hearing that first amendment rights protect students when they are creating a hostile and unsafe learning environment for myself and for other students here," Smith-Lezama said on MSNBC. "I think that it's important for us to create that distinction and create a space where we can all learn from one another and start to create a place of healing rather than a place where we are experiencing a lot of hate like we have in the past."

I wonder how this statement reads when you run it through the Super Duper Progressive BS Translator. Probably a lot shorter: "Agree with us or else."

Everything comes full circle. Berkley Free Speech Movement, meet your progeny.

Yeah he’s tired of you using your first amendment rights to disagree with him or tell the truth about him and what his group are up to. I’m guessing a La Raza member eh?

[SkyDancer]

As she used her 1st. Amendment rights for saying that.

Hyphenated last name is all you need to know.

“He” as in bull-dyke lgbt’er

Hothouse flowers weeds.

They wilt at the mere thought of a cross word or the utterance of a word or thought they don't agree with.

Berkley Free Speech Movement, meet your progeny

Yup. Mario Savio was a fraud. Just another Commie who wanted to silence dissent against the wondrous future of the New Soviet Man.

John Toland related a story about how Adolf Hitler, in his early Nazi party days, was accosted by a German man who had just heard one of his speeches. “Tell me,” inquired the man, “did they shi!t into your brain and forget to flush it?”

Stupid kid never had a Civics class, or he’d know it works like this: the Constitution is an arrangement wherein you respect the rights of others or they don’t respect yours. The reward for following it is that you don’t get shot in political disagreements. No agreement, no reward.

They wilt at the mere thought of a cross word or the utterance of a word or thought they don't agree with.

Just don't turn your back on them.

Perhaps people who are tired of people exercising their First Amendment rights should move to a country without the First Amendment or any analogue of it: If they’d like one where black folks are on top an run everything there are many to choose from — Zimbabwe springs readily to mind. If that’s not important to them, there are many more to choose from.

Didn’t there used to be a baseline standard of intelligence to be admitted to a university?

All this is doing one thing of service. It is proving that a university education is virtually worthless. In fact, it could be a liability to admit you went to a university and were steeped in BS for 4+ years.
