Thanks to a student’s YouTube video, University of Missouri Assistant Professor Melissa Click has become of symbol of what many parents dread when they send their children off to college. From her bullying of students to her doctoral thesis on the whiteness of Martha Stewart and her classes in “visual literacy,†she crystalizes the view that tuition dollars are spent on nonsense, and sometimes worse. As Missouri high school students prepare their applications this fall, they are looking at paying over $25,000 for a year on campus and non-residents will have to pay over $40,000.
When the president of MU and the chancellor of the main campus in Columbia stepped down Monday following protests that they were insensitive to racial issues, Click and other members of the faculty went to work enforcing their self-created ban on the media. Click was captured on video harassing student journalists and calling in “muscle†to prevent one from documenting the tent city that had gone up on the campus quad, a public area that was known as a “safe space.â€
That an assistant professor of “mass media†in the department of communication was unaware of the instantaneous power of YouTube and social media is another reason for parents to wonder about the wisdom of spending their money on Click. She teaches in the College of Arts and Sciences rather than the vaunted School of Journalism, but that didn’t keep fans of the First Amendment from weighing in. The National Press Club called on the university to advise students and staff that they shouldn’t keep reporters from reporting “and certainly not through physical force or threats.â€

I say this as a lifelong, HUGE college football fan: if bigtime college football (and basketball, too, for that matter) ceased to exist tomorrow, America would be better off.
She looks like a MOONBAT straight out of central casting.
She looks like Carrot Top.
Liberal privilege.
“second problem, the tent city probably wasn’t what she was trying to hide. She would be proud of that. There’s something else she was hiding...any ideas?.. “
The Commnist party commissar illegally on campus organizing the little lemmings?
I think we need to look at this in a deeper light.
This is a purposely propagandized political movement to manufacture “racismâ€. There are Democrat Party political operatives actively stoking this fake “Racism†on Social media. Black Lives matters, the MO college campus etc are being staged.
I don’t know how many of you have Teenagers but my teenagers are upset almost daily but this Instagram or Snap Chat or Facebook posting about this or that supposed racial attack. Once this crap is posted, it goes viral almost instantly
Look the Left needs their voter base fired up in 2016. The bulkwork of Democrat votes is the Black vote. They won in 2008 and 2012 by turning our record number of black votes. In 2016 they have NO candidates who appeal to that voter block. The Leftist machine must find a way to fire up that base. These fake “racists†attacks are the tool they are using.
We need some investigative reporters to start digging hard into this. I suspect you will find that these “racist reports†are being purposefully fed into social media by a very very few sources
Self-hating Whitey?
She backed down!
She was overheard bawling in shame! She apologized!
And got fired anyway.
Epic fail! The whole world is watching!
Huh.
Just wait til her comrades in the Communist Party get done ripping her for being a wimpy little Marxist.
Nyuk, nyuk!
You eventually get the face you deserve...
I didn’t know carrot top’s mom was a teacher!

Did this click thing pay a cent in tuition? or did the whiteys that she hates pay for it?
You need to give a warning before posting those, uh, pictures. It’s lunch time somewhere....
I hope the University of Missouri shuts down.
Maybe if the football and basketball players are paid, the universities can stop pretending that they are bona-fide students, and just consider them hired hands, like janitors. (My apologies to those student-athletes who are actually legitimate students.)
her right hand is showing the size of her Brain
Years ago, Dr. Gary North predicted that the radical left would capture America with the insane and human nature denying goal of “transforming†it into an egalitarian unicorn and rainbow Utopia by “capturing the ROBESâ€. By that, he meant those institutions we granted various levels of authority over us and our affairs: The clergy, the judges... and the ACADEMICS.
The roots of the problems in academia flow back to something referred to as the Frankfurt School and their 1935 move to COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY and the spread of Marxist thought (now there’s an oxymoron for ya’!) into every area of learning here.
A prime example of the rot now endemic in the academy is the COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF “JOURNALISMâ€. It is THE premier center for spreading Marxism here in America and it has been incredibly successful in its destruction of traditional and American values. Not only do its direct graduates permeate the media here, but many of them also double as teachers in lesser known institutions of media instruction. Herein lies the genesis of Limbaugh’s descriptive expression “Driveby Mediaâ€. Now you know why virtually every so-called “journalist†HATES folks like us.
The wikipedia entry says that the “...FRANKFURT SCHOOL was founded in 1923 by Carl Grünberg, a Marxist legal and political professor at the University of Vienna,[10] as an adjunct of the University of Frankfurt; it was the first Marxist-oriented research center affiliated with a major German university.[3] However, the school can trace its earliest roots back to Felix Weil, who used money from his father’s grain business to finance the Institut. “
Isn’t it fascinating that here is an early instance of a Marxist ANTI-CAPITALIST organization financing itself with the hated PROFITS of a capitalist business? The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.
More recent examples of that dichotomy would be the offspring of John D. Rockefeller who have largely spent their lives promoting socialism (using other people’s money, of course). And recently Bill Gates treated us to the wisdom that only SOCIALISM can solve the woes of this world. What these folks refuse to acknowledge that even THEY do not possess sufficient personal wealth to make a dent in those woes if the recipients of that largess are incapable of sustaining themselves once the largess stops flowing or is exhausted.
If one examines the life of Karl Marx, we find a bum who abandoned his wife and family to advance the socialist struggle and never worked or dirtied his hands at day in his life. That sort of thing was for the bourgeoisie, not such an exalted personage as himself. His guilt over that abandonment probably explains Karl’s fondness for state welfare paid for by the labor of others so that his abandoned family wouldn’t perish (not that a mensch like Karl gave a rat’s ass).
