Meanwhile, at Harvard...

I find it just astonishing, in the hypocrisy department, that these same clowns who talk about "being triggered" by hurtful words, who scream about transphobia, homophobia, whatever-phobia, have no understanding of what they're protesting and encouraging.

They're just kids, by and large. I know it doesn't excuse it, but when I visit my daughter at college I'm struck by how young they all are. I don't remember being that young as a student, but I guess I was. I do recall having some pretty silly views, some but not all of which probably remain with me to this day, however I should stress that none them related to the Middle East.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

From the RWEC:
What is striking to me is how unintelligently these three academics answered Stefanik’s questions. There are actually some interesting issues here, which a smart and principled administrator could have spoken about in a compelling way. But these academic hacks had nothing insightful to say, and were just trying to get out of the hearing as fast as they could, smirking all the while. I would only add that a Harvard student who wrote that all blacks should be murdered–say, in a conservative student paper, if Harvard had one–would not have a future at that institution. There would be no discussion of “context.”

It would not have occurred to me that a policy against bullying and harassment would allow for calls for genocide against a certain group, while prohibiting calls for killing individual members of that group. Their premise is that that distinction is totally reasonable.

I also think the tweet misses the point entirely. Yeah sure okay, that's what the hearings are about, but the problem on the table right now, the one we are and should be focusing on, isn't adherence to university harassment policies.
