More. If these progressive students would like to see what actual fascists look like, here are two examples:

    Who the {bleep} cares? I realize that its the latest trend among the political right to imply that “if it happens on campus, it must be happening everywhere”, but 90% of the debates and discussions and panel discussions and protests that happen on campus (in this modern era) have little to do with something that I like to call, reality.

    I can point to lots of stuff that young people do on campus that is stupid, annoying, obnoxious or otherwise a pain. Stuff done by folks on the political right and left. Stephen and Company want to suggest that political correctness and the echo chamber are only problems for young, wide-eyed liberals. it ain’t the case.

    It might — sometimes — be relevant to the campus community (often not even that), but these students are not lawmakers, many aren’t even voters or seriously thinking about running for public office.

    I was maybe with you until you threw that airball.

    “Christina Hoff Sommers is a self-identified feminist…”

    Well, that explains things. Students these days can’t spell.

    “…and registered Democrat with a Ph.D. in philosophy and a wicked sense of humor. She is also a woman who says bad things.”

    Oh, excuse me, Ph.D in philosophy? I didn’t stand a chance.

    From a link on the link:

    In a New York Times interview last year, she said that the push against sexual assault has “infantilized” women, and that “equity feminism,” which she supports, has been replaced by “victim feminism” and “fainting couch feminism.”

    “Fainting couch feminism?” Ohhhhh, that is RUDE!

    She is literally making fun of rape by saying actresses who are put in casting couch situations lose all their assertiveness and faint out of embarrassment and give an invitation for men to have sex with them while unconscious. That sounds like pretty violent language to me.

    I’ve probably written worse.

    Off topic, but interesting in light of current cases.

      “A woman was illegally fired by a Detroit-area funeral home after disclosing that she was transitioning from male to female and dressed as a woman, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.”

      The facts on the case could be wrong, but assuming it’s true, if it wasn’t their business earlier, well… why was it their business with the poisonous knowledge in their heads?

      “The court overturned a decision by U.S. District Judge Sean Cox, who said the funeral home had met its burden to show that keeping Stephens “would impose a substantial burden on its ability to conduct business in accordance with its sincerely held religious beliefs.””

      Oh, right. The gay Catholic school teacher issue, where you get fired after revealing something about yourself and it’s like “duh!”.
      ……
      But there is a difference, you know. The religious interest is different at funerals than in churches–and I would include schools in the category of churches because in both cases you’re providing religious instruction. That’s probably not being claimed here, so I’m not sure how much a “ministerial exception” would apply.

      I’m neutral to this one.

        I can see the argument that a private Catholic or Muslim school may need to have its faculty be, Catholics (or Muslim), or at least not disagree with Catholic (or Muslim) doctrine. Its harder to buy the argument when dealing with say, a employee at a funeral home.

    True enough. Young people are, by nature, immature. The response of colleges and universities are embodied in The Chicago Statement, which we’ve discussed many times. The sky is not falling.

    Meanwhile, conservatives who do hold political office are reverting to type. I can’t imagine that Rubio, Cruz and the rest of the clowns will garner enough votes enact FADA this time around, having failed many times before, but it is comforting, I guess, to see that the more things change in the Washington trainwreck, the important things stay the same.
