DePaul Professor Offended By Milo Resigns, Calls Free Speech ‘Delusional’

 

“To believe that universities are simply neutral platforms for ‘equal’ exchanges of ideas, the so-called free speech rooted in the market ideology, is delusional,” she wrote. According to Cheng, “that positional objectivity ends up reinforcing the exact inequalities and dominant ideologies upon which this institution is built.”

 

Unbelievable. Sadly, this kind of extremist thinking has become the norm for Sociology/Gender studies courses.

Arrests For Social Media Posts Surge In London

The Register reports that the number of arrests made for obscene, anxiety-causing, and otherwise offensive messages has increased by 37 percent since 2010. The most common type of these arrests is for “Sending messages intended to offend or menace,” accounting for over 60 percent of all crimes included under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003. This controversial bit of legislation broadly defines illegal communication as “using public electronic communications network in order to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety,” a definition that could, frankly, apply to pretty much every website on earth at some point, particularly Britain’s own Daily Mail. Violating this law can carry a six-month prison term or fine of up to the equivalent of $5,500.

In more recent years, the legislation has been used to arrest Twitter users responsible for making racist or anti-Muslim comments. Among the scores of those recently arrested for inflammatory posts was a Scottish resident who had been using Facebook as a platform to espouse his disdain for Syrian refugees.

Leaps like that usually result in multiple compound fractures.

[Jason]

It doesn't seem that far fetched. I constantly here them comparing our system to Europe's. The post above just shows what kind of liberties they don't have. No thank you 

[arch stanton]

Equating comparisons between health care or education systems to wanting to arrest people for tweets because it happened in UK is the type of idiotic leap that makes any thoughtful discussion of actual issues out of the question.

Just a funny compilation of people being triggered. Not sure the "I kill me children" comment should get an 'LOL".

Haha! The "Bias Response Team."

[Tank]

This makes me cry for the future:

"The complaints were made to Northern Colorado's "Bias Response Team," an Orwellian office on campus that asks students to report their peers and professors for anything that upsets or offends them. When the news outlet Heat Street made an open records request for some of the complaints, it discovered that two students had become so upset about having to hear an opinion they disagreed with they filed reports with school administrators.

And rather than telling the students to buck up because they might hear those opinions outside of college or on the news or in the media, the schools told the professors to stop teaching that there's an alternate viewpoint."

I believe children in kindergarten are more mature than today's average college student. 

[Spirit]

I believe that children are our future.  Teach them well and let them lead the way.

That's usually what pedophiles say.

Hell, if this is the kind of education students can expect to get at a college or university, maybe it should be free.  It certainly isn't worth anything.

there's a quote our church often uses about true education being something that teaches men to be thinkers, not merely reflectors of other mens' thoughts. in order to do this you need to know what others think, but that seems counterintuitive to the climate of many universities today. how depressing.

Lol at investigating the parents.

Why are you bad, America?

Just when you think we've hit rock bottom, someone pulls out a shovel and starts digging.

Here is another one and it gives a nice window into why our kids are such pussies.
