Six GWU students among 33 arrested at campus protest encampment [More]
But calling attention to “outside agitators” is racist!
And if Zinn is too far left for you, CNN helps “normalize” their message.

Fourth Generational Lawfare
llegal protests on university campuses have already triggered a number of legal actions, but so far the lawsuits likely to be most successful, and most effective at strongly discouraging similar criminal activity in the future – class actions brought by as few as one student or faculty member – seem to be overlooked, says a class action expert.

Hoist them with their own petard.
And this may be viscerally satisfying, but I think this guy’s going to regret it.

The power of putting George Washington in a kaffiyeh [More]
It’s either “literally surrender” to cultural appropriation or topple, spray paint, smear, or remove it.
It’s kind of a thing with such types.
It’s what we can expect whenever such “power” is submitted to, which makes fair the question “Why would we?” or more to the point, “What’s the real agenda of those who have the power to stop it but not enough to stop us– yet?”
It all kinda makes me want to go out there and get taxed some more to “forgive” student loans…

Reign of Terror 2.0
The girl on the megaphone then accuses GWU’s Board of Trustees of profiteering off the “genocide” of Palestinians, and after the other students loudly proclaim them “guilty,” she yells, “To the guillotine!” Finally, they also call for GWU President Ellen Granberg and her apparently “f bob [haircut]” to be under the guillotine as well for “using [their] tuition dollars to fund genocide.” [More]

Be Careful What You Wish For
Inmates Running Asylum
This month, two psychiatry residents at UCLA, Drs. Ragda Izar and Afaf Moustafa, hosted a talk in which they argued for the “de-patholization” of self-immolation. They said that self-immolation isn’t a sign of mental illness if it’s in resistance to colonization, homophobia, and white supremacy. [More]
This calls for a demonstration.

The Blind Men and the Elephant
I’ve talked before about Academia.edu and its repository of gun “studies,” primarily to marvel that research papers would cite someone who never let school get in the way of his education. Anyway, I get daily email update notifications of uploaded papers, and they just did one from 2020 titled “Evaluating the Impact of Gun Involved Violence Elimination (GIVE) Initiative within the City of Rochester.”
Me, my eyes glaze over with eggheadspeak and charts (sorry, Dr. Lott, the ADD kicks in and I go into daydream mode), so I always skip to the conclusion, where we find, totally unsurprisingly (and I could have saved this guy a lot of work and just told him) “call-in meetings, custom notification, and GIVE orientation meetings” don’t address the real problem of Democrat collectivist policies creating a crime culture petri dish.
He admits as much, though tries to save face and convince his evaluators he’s still a team player:
While this quasi-experiment might not have been definitive in answering the question of if the program had a particular influence on gun violence incidents based on strategies and activities implemented, the evidence still leads to possible benefits of the GIVE initiative within the city of Rochester.
Homicides dropping from 73 to 57 in one year do not a trend make, and unless and until the whole elephant in the room is addressed, claiming credit for fluctuations is a game played by fools and frauds.

Right. They didn’t advertise guns until 1945.

A Show of Solidarity
During a mandatory “structural racism” class at UCLA medical school, a pro-Hamas guest speaker led students in chants of “Free, Free Palestine” and demanded that they bow down to “mama earth” for a prayer. [More]
This is like telling Mao to hold your beer.
Forget the establishment clause. Now put down your fork and raise that fist — or else!
That there was compliance instead of an angry mass walkout tells us much. It figures the program is headed by a pediatrician.

Pride and Prejudice
[T]wo Ivy League teachers are being handed a $1 million grant to “apply” critical race theory to such iconic classics. [More]
As long as we’re rewriting the classics, it’s been done, and better, but I’m afraid NatLamp’s “Obligatory Sex Scenes” (p. 49 and NSFW) are going to need to be updated to remove binary and supremacist biases.
Bethany Knows Best
“I theorize that marriage fundamentalism, like structural racism, is a key structuring element of White heteropatriarchal supremacy,” Professor Bethany Letiecq wrote in the Journal of Marriage and Family. [More]

Either that or the beef secular lefty eggheads have isn’t really with me at all…

Planned Powderkeg
The protests are now havens for foreign students, especially those from Arab and Muslim countries, with their own set of nationalist and tribal grievances against Israel and the United States. In some cases, such foreign students appear to lead the protests in their pro-terrorism chants—some of which are in Arabic, or translations of Arabic slogans. [More]
What do you want to bet after a terrorist massacre, government traitors counting on this come down with more “Patriot Act”-restrictions on us, “the greatest threat”? Especially if “assault weapons” are used!
