Time to shut down US universities?

Professor Jason Hill: heretic. Just ask any Leftist. Career suicide.

On last Friday’s Tucker Carlson Tonight show, he featured DePaul University Professor of Philosophy Jason Hill who submitted that perhaps it’s time to shut down some universities. Professor Hill wrote this piece published on July 16th at TheHill.com:

A professor’s call to shut down our nation’s universities

by Jason D. Hill, Opinion Contributor

Thirty-three years ago, when I entered college, left-wing ideologies dominated American universities, and especially the humanities and social sciences. But one still could get a fair, balanced education by consulting traditional canonical texts that countered the dogma. Free speech was alive on college campuses. There were hisses and boos, of course, but for the most part, hearing perspectives different from your own was considered essential to your education. Few of us lived in our own curated silos.

Today, after 22 years of being a college professor, and having traveled much of America to lecture, I am sad to say the situation is not the same. The core principles and foundations that keep the United States intact, that provide our citizens with their civic personalities and national identities, are being annihilated. The gravest internal threat to this country is not illegal aliens; it is leftist professors who are waging a war against America and teaching our young people to hate this country.

Our universities risk losing their status as learning sites and becoming national security threats. We need to defund them, disband and rebuild them with conservative principles — that is, values advocating individualism, capitalism, Americanism, free speech, self-reliance and the morality of wealth creation.

Astounding rhetoric from, essentially, a Leftist. Any Professor of Philosophy certainly isn’t a screaming Conservative.

Ordinarily, the best way to counter an intellectual adversary is through a contest of rational faculties. The person with reality on his or her side, with the best relevant facts and strongest arguments, usually wins. But today’s scholars in humanities and social sciences increasingly declare that modern argumentation is a white, Western form of domination and linguistic imperialism that silences racial and ethnic minorities and devalues their “lived experiences.”

One cannot argue with such people. The only alternative is to shut them down.  

From the show:

“Bolshevik-loving welfare scholars.” Jesus, Mary and Joseph, what a beautimous and applicable line from the interview.

Professor Hill concludes with this paragraph:

Withdraw your support and leave them to fund themselves. Let them pit their wares on the free market, where they will be left homeless. The world you desired no longer exists in our universities. It lies elsewhere, in a philosophic system waiting to be discovered or created.

I can’t say I disagree in the slightest. Let universities compete in a capitalist, free-market economy. To the competitive winners go the spoils.

Metro DC Police: body cams OFF at inauguration

That is by order of a rather ridiculous DC law and the ACLU themselves.

Let’s start with an article from Breitbart.com:

ACLU Warns Police to Turn Body Cams Off During Inauguration Protests but Encourages Activists to Video Cops

by Warner Todd Huston

As the nation prepares for the inauguration of the 45th president of the United States, activists and anarchists flooding Washington D.C. are preparing to do all in their power to destroy the historic day. But even as they encourage anarchists to video police, the ACLU has issued warnings to police to be sure to turn body cameras off during the protests.

Was this accurate? The ACLU says no. From the ACLU.org:

Why Are DC Police Keeping Their Body Cameras Off During Inauguration and the Women’s March?

by Jay Stanley

A lot of social media activity has come to our attention questioning why the DC police have been instructed NOT to turn their body cameras on during the president’s inauguration and the following day’s “Million Women March.” Many people seem puzzled by this.

It’s DC. Not too difficult to suss out the various reasons. Please.

It’s not an ACLU “demand,” it’s actually DC law. True, the ACLU of DC supported and encouraged adoption of that law, but the wider District of Columbia community as represented by its city council agreed with us. And that law is not absolute; in its full form it says that:

First, the ACLU’s convenient “out.”

MPD officers may record First Amendment assemblies for the purpose of documenting violations of law and police actions, as an aid to future coordination and deployment of law enforcement units, and for training purposes; provided, that recording First Amendment assemblies shall not be conducted for the purpose of identifying and recording the presence of individual participants who are not engaged in unlawful conduct.

Right. It’s all DC Metro’s problem.

We supported that law for very good reasons. There is a long history of law enforcement compiling dossiers on peaceful activists exercising their First Amendment rights in public marches and protests, and using cameras to send an intimidating message to such protesters: “we are WATCHING YOU and will REMEMBER your presence at this event.” For a vivid picture of how photography can create chilling effects, recall the civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery Alabama in 1965, when Alabama state troopers viciously attacked and beat peaceful protesters.

That was then. Now, it is demanded by many community groups, agencies, authorities, cities and counties that law enforcement officers wear body cameras.

Note to the ACLU, Leftists, Demorats, liberal law enforcement administrators: you can’t have it both ways. You either have body cameras activated to record the activity of the police or you don’t. You don’t get to summarily pick-and-choose what activities shall be video’d or not, particularly in consideration of the fact that you are clearly biased towards activities where citizens potentially engaging in illegal activities could be hoisted on petards of their own making.

Let’s look at it this way. Historically, the past year, the bulk of the violence involved in the months leading to the presidential election, and beyond to today, has been committed by Leftists. Leftists wish to video what they wish when they wish, and further seek to handcuff law enforcement when it comes to their doing the same thing in public areas.

This is not like a sea of police officers walking into a call of domestic violence or child abuse and taking video of private events in private homes. These are officers, in open public spaces, ostensibly taking video of events occurring in the public. It’s lawful for the protesters to video law enforcement. The reverse should be true as well. And it is.

Therefore it is not unlawful for law enforcement to video their surroundings as, of course, this very act has been demanded of them nationwide. Advocates say it will keep cops honest and document their actions and the actions of those surrounding them.

I agree. Particularly in this instance.

Having been in law enforcement for 41 years, recently retired, I support law enforcement. I am a Sheepdog and always will be. But when cops are not logical or base their conduct upon political correctness I will call them out.

Interim MPDC Chief Peter Newsham, you have been provided a lawful exemption/opening as illustrated above by the ACLU. You are refusing to take advantage of same.

You, sir, should be ashamed of yourself, by placing your very own officers in harm’s way whilst simultaneously robbing them of an important modern law enforcement tool that, truly, groups nationwide insist they possess and could protect them — and your department — on many levels.

You sir, are a quisling.

German govt forces police to cover up “refugee” rapes

Islam and LeftistsJust as we’ve known all along.  The politically-correct multi-kulti class in German government has been outed.  They lied.  To cover for Muslim “refugees.”  And it’s not just in Germany.

From Breitbart.com:

Cologne Police Reveal ‘Cover Up’ Of New Year’s Eve Rape Attacks Ordered By Government

by Oliver JJ Lane

A leaked cache of confidential emails and notes passed between the North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) state government and local police has revealed the extent to which the force were placed under pressure to cover up the migrant sex attacks at New Year’s Eve.

Reportedly released to Cologne-based German newspaper the Express by an inside police source, the documents may imperil the position of NRW interior minister Ralf Jäger. The minister has been clinging to his position since the attacks first became known, days after the event, and even went so far as to fire his chief of police to “restore faith” in the city.

One of the documents sent by Jäger’s interior ministry to the police ont he first of January is a so-called “Important Event-Message” (“Wichtiges Ereignis-Meldung”). Far from the initial claims made, and statements made at an early press conference about the attacks the message confirmed the state government had full knowledge of the gang sex attacks.

Wait, it gets better.  The state minister not only covered up the nature of the events and the extent of the violence and assault, but fired his chief of police when the chief asked for more officers to keep Cologne safe, and was refused.

Sweden also has some explaining to do.

From the UKSpectator:

It’s not only Germany that covers up mass sex attacks by migrant men… Sweden’s record is shameful

by Ivar Arpi

Stockholm police were warned not to give descriptions of the perpetrators lest they were accused of being racist

It took days for police to acknowledge the extent of the mass attacks on women celebrating New Year’s Eve in Cologne. The Germans were lucky; in Sweden, similar attacks have been taking place for more than a year and the authorities are still playing catch up. Only now is the truth emerging, both about the attacks and the cover-ups. Stefan Löfven, our Prime Minister, has denounced a ‘double betrayal’ of women and has promised an investigation. But he ought to be asking this: what made the police and even journalists cover up the truth?

The answer can be discovered in the reaction to the Cologne attacks. Sweden prides itself on its sexual equality and has even pioneered a feminist foreign policy. When hundreds of women were reported to have been molested and abused in Cologne — at the hands of an organised mob — the reaction from Swedish politicians and pundits ought to have been one of outrage.

Correct.  And now let the truth and the embarrassment and shame emerge.

Then last week Sweden’s own stories began to emerge. During the We Are Sthlm music festival, large groups of young men harassed girls sexually. It began in 2014 and it also went on during last year’s festival. According to internal police reports the groups were ‘so-called refugee youths primarily from Afghanistan’. The youngest of the victims was 12 years old.

The police claimed that there were ‘relatively few crimes and arrests considering the number of participants’. Internal reports told a different story. The police were shocked enough by the harassment to try to come up with a strategy to handle the groups of molesters at the festival — a strategy that was evidently unsuccessful. The trouble was that they were trying to deal with a problem but would not speak its name. As Peter Ågren, police chief in central Stockholm, put it: ‘Sometimes we do not dare to say how things really are because we believe it will play into the hands of the Sweden Democrats.’ As we now know, police officers in Stockholm are instructed not to reveal the ethnicity or nationality of any suspects lest they be accused of racism.

It’s clear, then, that apparently not only do women mean nothing to Muslims, they mean little to Europeans as well.  Europeans GOWPs purposely kept the magnitude and nature of the offenses hidden.  European government drones hazarded their women on the altar of guilt, political correctness, ignorance and abject, profound cowardice.

Islam Helped by GOWP Leftist WomanGermany is doomed, the rest of Europe is on the brink.  “Migrants” and “refugees” are shitting and pissing in public, raping women damned near at will.  The European women “deserve it.”  Yes.  Political correctness protects the Muslim rape culture, amongst other things.  Read this link.  European nations are accommodating Islam in their own countries, not the other way around.

Check this paragraph:

In the Arab world, it’s something of a phenomenon. It has a name: ‘Taharrush gamea’. Sometimes the girls are teased and have their veils torn off by gangs of young men; sometimes it escalates into rape. Five years ago, this form of attack was the subject of an award-winning Egyptian film, 678. Instances of young men surrounding and attacking girls were reported throughout the Arab Spring protests in Cairo in 2011 and 2012. Lara Logan, a CNN journalist covering the fall of Hosni Mubarak, was raped in Tahrir Square. Taharrush gamea is a modern evil, and it’s being imported into Europe. Our authorities ought to be aware of it.

And with all this, Mr Obama wants to duplicate what is occurring in Europe, here.  He wants more refugees imported into the US.

Oscars: not enuf gangsta

Chris Rock hosted the 88th Oscars this year, and made the entire show about melanin.  Black black black black black black, black, black black, black and black.

Blacks are 12.6% of the US population.  70% of NFL players and 75% of NBA players are black.  Then there’s this:

According to the findings of an AP analysis, ABC, NBC, and Fox have a higher percentage of African-Americans in prime time than the percentage of Blacks in the country’s population. The U.S. Census puts the percentage of Blacks in the population at 13.2. African-Americans accounted for 15% of the cast members on ABC and NBC fall shows.

But let’s not let the facts get in the way of a good black tantrum, shall we?  Because you sure as hell won’t hear or read of this on either the Oscars or trotted out on the front page of newspapers or in the MSM.

Chris Rock ensured that he threw as many barbs as possible to those persons whose skin wasn’t as dark as his.  Leonardo DiCaprio was made the butt of an early joke.  The liberal, Leftist Leonardo DiCaprio was not amused.  Not a whit.

After the first half hour, there were more jokes by Rock with Caucasoids as the butt.

The auditorium did not erupt into spontaneous rolling floods of massive cheers, shouts, uproarious laughter and huzzahs.  In fact, many of the so-called “jokes” by both blacks and GOWP Caucasoids fell primarily quite flat.

Rock and his ilk seem to think that blacks are the center of the universe, completely ignoring the Asians, Indians, Namibians, Mexicans, gays and transgenders in front of the camera and behind.

Basically what happened is this: Hollywood GOWPs tacitly agreed to “take it on the chin” for Political Correctness and mostly shut the fuck up whilst sitting in the audience.  Good for them.  Be good little overpaid cowards.  Good times.

This year’s Oscars were an excuse for racism, Political Correctness, personal and general belittling, as well as verbal filth and cultural devolution.

Overall, Chris Rock ensured the 88th Oscars were mostly a classless event.  “Harvey Weinstein, kiss my ass.” High art, that.

And if Rock thought that going to a Compton theater for the opinions of blacks provided a necessary insight then yes, it was an insight — into the cultural and historic ignorance of blacks themselves.  Nice job Rock.  You proved that the blacks you interviewed were insular, racist, unable to expand their personal scopes beyond the hood.

The ratings plummeted for that reason.  In fact, the ratings were at an 8-year low.

It breaks my heart to see Hollywood Leftists hoisted and gored on the spears they so love to use on everyone else.
