Bullied Evergreen State Student Speaks Out

More: Evergreen College as Liberal Hell Hole

The following two segments are from a meeting of the Evergreen State College Board of Trustees. They are two individuals who dissented from the leftist mob that had been terrorizing the campus.




Unfortunately, there is no reason to believe that Trustees at Evergreen will be any more effective in protecting free expression on campus than Marquette trustees have been in protecting free expression at Marquette.

One reason is that the forces of intolerant political correctness speak out, and are fully willing to target and punish dissent. You can see that in the video of the full meeting, which is dominated by leftists.

What we see at Evergreen is different a bit in degree, but not in kind, from what we see at most colleges and universities. Intolerant faculty, toady administrators and feckless trustees are all to blame.

Evergreen State College: Left Wing Hell Hole

From Vice News on HBO:

WARNING: LANGUAGE



Two particularly good articles on the situation there are:

“The Appalling Protests at Evergreen State College” in The Weekly Standard. And . . .

“How a Campus Fight Drove 2 Left-Leaning Professors to Fox News” in the The Chronicle of Higher Education.

The latter article is particularly interesting, showing how a left-wing academic couple, who had the usual biases against Fox News, found that liberal outlets ignored their plight. According to the article:

Still, the two professors feel as if they made the right decision to take their concerns to Fox News. In the weeks since Mr. Weinstein appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight. Ms. Heying [Weinstein’s spouse], who has been monitoring her husband’s email, said he had received “hundreds and hundreds” of warm messages from people whom he and his wife might never have considered allies.

“Before May 26 I had the same knee-jerk reaction to Fox News that all of my liberal colleagues do,” said Ms. Heying. “I don’t feel that way anymore.”

Increasingly, leftists who retain some concern with academic rigor (and thus worry about affirmative action hiring and flaky curriculum) and with free speech find themselves allied with conservatives.

We’d love to argue with Weinstein about his leftist views on economics and politics. That’s what people in academia are supposed to do.

But right now, he is facing down fascists whose only argument is “shut up!”
