We have been discussing student editors and student government leaders using their positions to retaliate against the exercise of free speech by other students with the support of faculty. This trend is hardly surprising as journalism deans call for censorship and journalism professors call for the rejection of neutrality in the media. Universities have generally remained passive as students and faculty harass and punish those with opposing views. The latest such example was detailed in a column on the site College Fix on how students at Cornell University moved to oust student representatives who voted against disarming and defunding campus police. What concerns me most is the silence of the university on the controversy.
According to the report, students failed to pass a resolution calling for the defunding and disarming of the Cornell Police Department. After the measure failed, student leaders called for the removal of opposing leaders from committees or the student government as a whole. Uchenna Chukwukere, the Student Assembly vice president of finance declared
“These 15 student assembly members watched us pour out our traumas and fears on the floor practically begging them to vote no, and finally send a message to the university that we can no longer allow these oppressive institutions to keep us down. Many of these assembly members are white-cis-het men and women who quite literally laughed and danced in our faces when the resolution failed…Their faces are all over social media…We will never forget… their campus careers are over. … We must disarm, defund, and disband the Cornell University Police Department.”
Eventually, after a series of failed votes, the student organizers were able to pass Resolution 30, calling to disarm campus police by two votes.
Student Dakota Johnson, a Marine veteran, recounted a confrontation with a government leader where he was allegedly told that “As a white man, you cannot be the arbiter of what is and isn’t racist and who is a good or bad person. … You will never be the arbiter because you are a white man.”

It will be the gun’s fault, of course.
Uchenna Chukwukere, sounds like a bad Scrabble hand
#7. First question is “What is it”? Then I remembered it could be an early childhood picture of “SpearChucker Jones” from the movie “MASH”.
I could be wrong, but the name spelling is close.
Or he/she/it could be a member of the rock group The Detroit Emeralds whose top song was like this thing’s name, “UwantIt IGotIt”! OK, maybe a cousin!!
Read later.
“As a white man, you cannot be the arbiter of what is and isn’t racist and who is a good or bad person. … You will never be the arbiter because you are a white man.”
Yup. A Masters in Interpretive Afro-Haitian Dance is the fast track to the corner office and $400k a year.
Once they sue Cornell, they won’t need a career.
The Cancel Culture is our virus to freedom. Eliminate the virus.
And I'm not kidding.
>>I am sure they will recover. They will have a degree from Cornell.<<
Useful for now. Soon, useless.
I know of one very conservative pro trump guy at Cornell...an engineer...must be hard on him to work among such creeps....
Is it any wonder black run nations are such total s holes?
Quit hiring indoctrinated people years ago. We educate and train our own. Turnover rate: 00.08%
REMOVE THE FUNDING TO THESE INSTITUTIONS, I AS A TAX PAYER WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS CRAP!
Not to mention the Women’s Studies ‘career path’........
Did they ever try locating some of those who "moved to oust" others, dragging them out back, beating the crap out of them, and leaving them in a bad part of Ithaca to walk back to campus?
I think the whole momentum to "oust" others would fade away pretty quickly. It's always a couple of instigators who are behind the whole thing.
Governor-general (it's a figurehead title but is the head of state) - Cornelius Smith 
PM - Hubert Minnis 
GDP per capita = $33,000 - that's ahead of Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Hungary, Greece, Russia etc. etc.
It has a stable two-party system
90.6% of the population identified themselves as being Black, 4.7% White and 2.1% of a mixed race (African and European) in the 2010 census
If they do this, there will be a tragedy on campus. I have been through several and they were done by irrational people with nothing to lose.
