THERE IS A PROFESSOR HERE IN
CALIFORNIA, SHE MADE SOME ADMITTEDLY CONTROVERSIAL
COMMENTS RIGHT AFTER DONALD TRUMP'S ELECTION VICTORY.
AND
THEN HAD AN INCREDIBLE REACTION TO THOSE COMMENTS.
FIRST LET ME
GO TO THE WASHINGTON POST AND GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND.
THAT
SOUNDS A LITTLE EXTREME, BUT YOU WILL SEE WHY SHE DID THAT IN A
SECOND.
FIRST LETS GET TO HER COMMENTS WHICH SOME STUDENTS
FOUND TO BE OUTRAGEOUS.
OKAY, I THINK SOME OF THOSE COMMENTS WERE A LITTLE
OVER-THE-TOP.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD CALL HIS VICTORY IN
ACTIVE TERRORISM.
UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT, SHE IS TEACHING A HUMAN
SEXUALITY CLASS.
SHE TOOK THE FIRST 20 MINUTES EVERY DAY ON
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SUBMITTED ANONYMOUSLY.
NORMALLY IT IS
ABOUT SEXUALITY, SCIENCE, ETC.
BUT IN THIS CASE IT WAS TURNED
POLITICS BECAUSE OF THE ELECTION.
AND SHE SAID A LOT OF
HER STUDENTS WANTED TO FEEL CONFIDENT BECAUSE THEY WERE
WORRIED ABOUT WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO.
NOW OBVIOUSLY ONE OF HER
STUDENTS HE WAS CONSERVATIVE FELT THAT THIS WAS AN AFFRONT TO
CONSERVATIVES.
WHETHER YOU SHOULD BE TRIGGERED BY THAT IS
ANOTHER QUESTION.
THE LOCAL REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES ON
CAMPUS FELT THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY NEEDED A SAFE SPACE FROM THIS
KIND OF TALK SO THEY DEMANDED POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
LET ME
GIVE YOU THEIR DEMANDS.
BEFORE WE GET ONTO WHAT HAPPENED, I
WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT LIKE I DON'T UNDERSTAND
CONSERVATIVE STUDENTS POSITIONS.
I WAS A CONSERVATIVE STUDENT IN
UNDERGRAD AND LAW SCHOOL.
I OFTEN GOT INTO DEBATES WITH MY
LIBERAL PROFESSORS.
BUT WHAT I DIDN'T DO WAS HIDE IN A CORNER,
FILE A COMPLAINT, FILE A LAWSUIT.
I CHALLENGED THE
PROFESSORS IN CLASS AND WE WOULD HAVE A BACK AND FORTH.
MOST OF
THE LIBERAL PROFESSORS ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND THEY
ACKNOWLEDGED THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM AND SOMETIMES
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I WAS RIGHT.
THERE WAS ONE PERSON IN
PARTICULAR THAT TOLD ME TO SHUT UP.
THEN YOU GO TO THE DEAN AND
SAY I AM PAYING TUITION HERE, I'M NOT SURE SHOULD BE TOLD TO
SHUT UP. AND YOU HASH IT OUT IN A REGULAR WAY.
I THOUGHT THAT
WAS WHAT CONSERVATIVES WERE ALL ABOUT.
BUT NO, THEY LOVE
PUBLICITY SO THEY IMMEDIATELY CRIED AND SAID NO I NEED
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
NO KID IS ALLOWED TO COUNTER MY OPINION.
IF SHE GAVE THEM A BAD GRADE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT AGREE
POLITICALLY, THAT WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE.
YOU HAVE EVERY
RIGHT IN THE WORLD TO FOLLOW PROCEDURE AND TAKE IT UP WITH
THE ADMINISTRATION.
OR EVEN BRING THIS TAPE UP AS A NOTE OF
CONCERN.
IF YOU SAY SHE MUST NOT HAVE POLITICAL OPINIONS OR THE
SAME ONES, THAT IS LITERALLY POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
AND THE
THING THAT I THOUGHT CONSERVATIVES HATE.
IT
TURNS OUT
OF COURSE THESE ARE NEW DAYS AND THEY DID NOT DO THAT.
INSTEAD WE
HAD RAGING HATE AGAINST THE PROFESSOR.
NOT JUST FROM
STUDENTS, BUT FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
LET ME EXPLAIN.
THE
PROFESSOR HERSELF SAYS THIS.
I THINK MOB IS FAIRLY APPROPRIATE
IN THIS CASE.
IF YOU THINK SHE IS BEING MELODRAMATIC, SHE MAKES
A GOOD POINT.
SOME OF US HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH CONSERVATIVES
ONLINE FOR A LONG TIME.
IN THIS NEW AGE THERE ARE NO LIMITS.
PEOPLE WILL SAY ANYTHING, THREATEN YOU, THE LIST GOES ON
AND ON.
WE ARE USED TO IT, IT HAPPENS TO US ON A DAILY BASIS.
IF YOU HAVEN'T DEALT WITH IT AT ALL AND THEN YOU SEE THINGS LIKE
PIZZA GATE WHERE A GUY SHOWS UP WITH A WEAPON AND THINKS HE IS
GOING TO FIND A CHILD SEX RING – IF IT WAS YOU AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN YOU SEE HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS OF COMMENTS RAINING
DOWN ON YOU WITH GREAT VITRIOL, THREATENING YOU, MIGHT YOU BE
INTIMIDATED?
WE DON'T HAVE BROWNSHIRTS WE NOW HAVE RED
HATS.
THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WILL MAKE IT THEIR LIVES MISSION TO
INTIMIDATE PEOPLE ONLINE.
THINGS GOT WORSE WHEN FOX NEWS PICKED
THIS UP.
THESE GUYS, OR COOKY.
LIBERALS DON'T HAVE SOME
TOTALITARIAN MISSION TO TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE AND RUN IT.
THEY
DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR LIFE.
JUST BECAUSE YOU WANT TO
DOMINATE OUR LIFE DOES IT MEAN THEY WANT TO DOMINATE YOURS.
BUT
PEOPLE BELIEVE IT.
SO HERE IS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
AGAIN, IF YOU
ARE LIKE US AND YOU LIVE ONLINE,
THAT IS STANDARD FARE.
IF YOU'RE A PERSON WHO IS COMPLETELY UNFAMILIAR WITH IT
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT SHOOTING YOU IN
THE FACE, AND YOU HAVE THIS COMING A NONSTOP YOU'RE GOING TO
GET FREAKED OUT AND YOU ARE GOING TO THINK ARE THEY COMING
TO GET ME?
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT TO DO.
THEY WANT
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
YOUR OPINION WAS NOT POLITICALLY
CORRECT.
IT WAS THE INCORRECT OPINION ACCORDING TO THEM, HENCE
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HARASS YOU, INTIMIDATE YOU, AND
THREATEN YOU UNTIL THEY GET YOU TO STOP.
SO SHE TOOK THE LAST
WEEK OF CLASSES OFF, WENT INTO HIDING, SHE WILL COME BACK NEXT
SEMESTER.
BUT THIS IS THE SICKNESS THAT IS GOING ON.
LET'S
CONCLUDE HERE NOW FROM THE WASHINGTON POST.
THIS IS
DANGEROUS STUFF.
IF YOU THREATEN TO PUT PEOPLE'S HOME ADDRESS
ONLINE, THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST THAT.
YOU THREATEN TO DO BODILY
HARM TO THEM, THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST THEM.
AND YES, THEY
APPLY ON THE INTERNET.
POLICE SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL IN
PURSUING ANYONE WHO DOES CREDIBLE THREATS OF VIOLENCE.
IF
YOU WANT TO CALL SOMEONE A MARXIST, HAVE AT IT.
THAT IS
JUST LIKE YOUR OPINION.
BUT WHEN YOU GET TO THREATS AND TALKING
ABOUT PEOPLE'S HOMES AND PUTTING OUT ADDRESSES, THAT IS
ACTIONABLE.
THE POLICE NEED TO TAKE ACTION BEFORE THE STUFF
GETS OUT OF CONTROL.
GET A LOAD OF THIS.
THEY EVEN HAVE LISTS
ALREADY.
THIS IS HOW THINGS START.
EXAMINATION, LISTS OF
PEOPLE WHO ARE POLITICALLY INCORRECT, AND THEN EVERY ONCE
IN A WHILE PEOPLE SHOW UP AT
YOUR PIZZA SHOP WITH A GUN.
WE
HAVE TO NIP THIS IN THE BUD.
OBVIOUSLY WE WON'T MEAN THEIR
VOTE, AND CERTAINLY NOT THERE SPEECH.
BUT IF THEY ARE TAKING
ACTION, AND THREATS ARE ACTION, THE POLICE NEED TO GET ON TOP OF
THIS BECAUSE THIS COULD GET OUT OF HAND REAL QUICK.
IS ALREADY
OUT OF HAND AND CAUSING PROFESSORS TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR
LIVES.
YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT.
WE HAVE GOT TO FIND SOME SORT OF
ANSWER TO THIS.
I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT AN OVERREACTION.
HOW MUCH
WILL TRUMP WANT TO USE THESE TACTICS, WE DON'T KNOW YET.
IT
HAS JUST BEGUN, BUT HE HAS NEVER DISCOURAGED THESE GUYS.
ALL HE
HAS EVER DONE IS EGGED THEM ON.
FINALLY, COX SAYS SHE WILL COME
BACK.
AS AN AMERICAN, SHE IS GOING TO STAND STRONG AND COME
BACK TO CLASS NEXT SEMESTER.
WE WISH HER WELL.
AND WHETHER YOU
AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH HER COMMENTS, THIS IS NOT WHAT
ANYONE SHOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
