Liberal Lunacy

There were two recent incidents on college campuses that expose just how out of touch college professors have become. The first episode happened at Ohio St. Mansfield. A librarian at the college name Scott Savage recommended a book for Freshmen to read and apparently one professor thought the book was inappropriate and files a complaint against the librarian. The book that was assigned is called the Marketing of Evil and the subject is how the gay rights community is attempting to advance their agenda. Apparently Professor JF Buckley is a gay man and took great offense to this book and sent Mr. Savage the following email:

"So, I am not shocked, only deeply saddened and THREATENED that such mindless folks are on this great campus. I am ending now, with the hope that I have seriously challenged you Scott, and anyone who thinks as you purport to do. You have made me fearful and uneasy being a gay man on this campus. I am, in fact, notifying the OSU-M campus, and Ohio State University in general, that I no longer feel safe doing my job. I am being harassed."

What a fricken pansy. Since when did recommending a book equate with a making a threat? I thought colleges were supposed to be a discussion place for the great debates of the day. Apparently, this professor only wants his side of the story told. Is he so weak in his convictions as to let a book scare him?

Thankfully the school cleared Mr. Savage but they apparently instructed him not to retaliate and suggested he take diversity training. Guess who instructs the diversity training? If you guessed Professor Buckley you are correct.

The other story revolves around a memorial that a pro life group build on campus. Northern Right to Life built a memorial to honor all the unborn children by placing white crosses into the ground. They receivedeved permission from Northern Kentucky University but apparently professor Sally Jacobson did not get that memo. Instead she instructed several of her students to vandalize and destroy the memorial.

When she was caught encouraging this behavior she attempted to justify her actions by saying "Any violence perpetrated against that silly display was minor compared to how I felt when I saw it." She then went on to compare their actions to citizens taking down Nazi displays. It is hard to believe someone actually thinks this way let alone that they would be in a position to teach young people. Thankfully, Northern Kentucky fired Ms. Jacobson. I am surprised that they had the guts to do the right thing but given her thuggish actions I guess they had no choice.
Both of these examples signify that college campuses are certainly at the front line of the culture wars. And while these professors clearly overstepped their bounds and were caught espousing their radical views, I wonder how many other professors are more cautious in their indoctrination. It's their influence on young minds is what worries me the most.
