1 minute video: Prof gives finger,disrupts student conservative table event;56 sign ups anyway

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Turning Point USA, founded by conservative activist Charlie Kirk, is an organization aimed at teaching students about “fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited governments.” Well, the president of the organization’s chapter at University of Nebraska-Lincoln received harassment as she recruited students on campus.

Worst part? PROFESSORS participated in the harassment.

U. Nebraska-Lincoln Profs Harass President of Turning Point on Campus
Posted by Mary Chastain Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 4:00pm

According to chapter President Katie Mullen, at least three professors circled the table while carrying signs and yelling things like “f**k Charlie Kirk” and “TPUSA Nazis.”

Graduate teaching assistant Courtney Lawton was recorded yelling “Neo-fascist Becky right here. Wants to destroy public schools, public universities, hates DACA kids,” while giving the middle finger to the camera.

Associate Professor Amanda Gailey was pictured holding a sign that stated “Turning Point: please put me on your watchlist,” even signing her name to the impromptu appeal.

Mullen told Campus Reform that a university administrator eventually came out and told her she could not table because she was in a free speech zone. Campus police were called, however, and after assessing the situation they informed Mullen that she had the right to stay and table.

“I was honestly shocked and scared. I was there for a couple hours and had no real issues but a couple debates,” Mullen told Campus Reform. “They came with posters screaming profanities at me and people passing by.”

“I didn’t even engage, but I kept tabling as I wasn’t going to let them silence me,” she continued, but conceded that after a while, “I got overwhelmed and scared and started to cry,” at which point the professors “screamed [that] I was crying for attention.”

“It shocks me that these are professors that are supposed to teach and support students and they were bullying me,” she remarked.

Despite the furor, however, Mullen claims that her TPUSA chapter attracted 56 new sign-ups over the course of the day.

colleges in America have totally gone to sh!t

Is there even such a thing as a mid-to-large University that *isn't* plagued by leftist BS?

I'm leaning on the "no" side. After attending multiple relatively large universities over the last couple decades, I can attest to them being thoroughly infiltrated. Lot of work ahead if this thing is ever going to be turned around, doesn't look promising right now.

I used to have a shower curtain like that.

This will only get worse before it gets better.

This will only get worse before it gets better.

The GOP leaders won't fight back. The fix is in.

The only time the GOP fights back is when the situation is so extreme even the left faux-condemns it, like the state senator that called for Trump's assassination.

Google returns a handy summery of Turning Point USA at the Socialist Worker website:


Most of the 50 people or so attending the meeting organized by the International Socialist Organization were there to discuss protests on Inauguration Day and how we can start building opposition to the right.

But not everyone. During the discussion, one attendee, sitting with a handful of others in the back of the room, said he was "very much a capitalist" and a "very proud Trump voter." He added that he was part of a student group called Turning Point USA, and that they came to "dialogue" and hear different points of view.

The four students in the back-row-right caucus left shortly thereafter, but not before several speakers called the group out for what they represent--which is bigotry and the witch hunting of the left on college campuses.
...
RIGHT-WINGERS on campus are certainly nothing new, and DePaul in particular is no stranger to right-wing goons. Last year, a protest of some 250 students ran reactionary troll-in-chief Milo Yiannopoulos off campus in the middle of his speech.
...
[According to Turning Point] Apparently, "Students who tend to support big government ideology shout down and protest limited government speakers on their campuses. ..."

They brag about shutting down speech, then say that they are falsely accused of shutting down speech. Orwell would be proud. Doublethink in action.
