Student leaders who didn't 'proclaim that Black Lives Matter' face impeachment [Thoughtcrime]
Campus Reform ^ | 11/18/2015 | Peter Fricke

Students and alumni of the University of Kansas are coming to the defense of three student government executives who are facing impeachment on charges that they were not sufficiently enthusiastic in their support of a student-led diversity ultimatum. Student Body President Jessie Pringle, Student Body Vice President Zach George, and Chief of Staff Adam Moon are all facing demands that they resign by Wednesday or face impeachment proceedings after the Student Executive Committee voted 6-3 Friday in favor of a no-confidence vote against them, according to Huffpost. “Together, we must find solutions now that allow our school to combat racism and better serve the needs of students, staff, and faculty of color.”

The pressure on Pringle, George, and Moon came just two days after Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little moderated a forum at which a student organization called Rock Chalk Invisible Hawk presented a list of diversity demands that included hiring a team of “multicultural counselors” for students of color and instituting “mandatory, intense ‘inclusion and belonging’ training” for students and faculty. During the no-confidence proceedings, the Committee specifically claimed that Pringle and George did not "stand in solidarity with their black peers and proclaim that Black Lives Matter" during Wednesday’s forum. Student senator Shegufta Huma, though, told Huffpost that the vote was not directly precipitated by the officers’ reluctance to endorse the diversity demands, but rather was the culmination of months of frustration at their failure to address racial issues in general.

“This is part of a larger pattern and some much bigger issues that (the) Senate has been dealing with in terms of our relationship with marginalized communities at KU,” she asserted...

I’m not sending my granddaughter there but I had already made that decision. No secular university is getting any of my money.

“Exactly and why the alumni aren’t storming the campus/calling, now, I don’t understand.”


Aaah,they’re probably on their laptops banging out E-mail complaints. That’s the way we seem to fight back these days.

Bowing down in abject submission...

When I first read this, I thought you said "browning down". I said to myself, "wow, maybe that is what they want...browning down!" Then I read your post again ;-)

Post stuff on social media encouraging your fellow alums to take action.

Remember that a key Leftist tactic isn’t actual leverage; it’s perception of the ability to leverage. Help create a groundswell of negative feedback by alums.

I’d bet that the school has multiple social media outlets dedicated to alumni organizing. Join them and speak out. Encourage your fellow alums to do the same.

The campus of KU is the most liberal patch in the entire state. Kow towing to these loons is not going to meet with approval with the Legislature and the voters. This a a very fine university that you have here, it would be shame if something happened to it.

Birds of a fether. They just don’t have the power here, yet. They will in my lifetime as long as things stay on the same track.

The Democrat base is creating a perfect storm.

The BlackLiesMatter and Campus Weenies are being caught in lie after ridiculous lie. While people are dying in terrorist attacks the left is promoting a micro aggression agenda.

While 11 million illegal aliens remain undocumented, the Obama administration is assuring us that the government has thoroughly vetted the Muslims they are importing under a veil of secrecy.

An idiot could create the conservative ads these issues inspire. The Democrats have created a situation where only the GOP elites could find a way to lose in 2016.

We thought we knew how bad a second term would be. But we had no idea.


Maximum pro-Muslim. Maximum pro-leftist.
