Proving His Point

Conservative Professor Samuel Abrams wrote an op-ed about the lack of intellectual diversity, and students went bananas, wanting him to be “run off the campus on a rail.” Which does nothing except prove the point he was trying to make. The first thing the students (we think) did was to deface his office door. I say “we think” because, in today’s atmosphere, it might have been a member of the school “administration.” The college’s president, Christie Judd, after releasing a very tepid response to the vandalism, accused professor Abrams of “attacking members of his community.” Never mind his target was college administrators, and was “right on.” Thus proving his point, perfectly. She said he “created a hostile work environment.” (Where have I heard those words—those exact words—before?) He responded by saying, If my op-ed constitutes ‘hate speech,’ that’s not a world I want to be part of.” Abrams conducted a study that included 900 “administrators” that found that liberals outnumbered conservatives 12 to 1. The college president was contacted, asking if they would support Abrams’ position, and they have yet (at his writing) to answer. Abrams has tenure, so they can’t fire him. But they can make the pressure to quit so intense that he will go job-hunting, and I predict they will try. Liberals just can’t have anybody saying the truth. (Legal Insurrection)
