Radical left rhetoric on campus has consequences
Aimed at Trump
I have been documenting the ways that some faculty and schools at ASU talk about conservatives and Christians. ASU continues to require all employees to take DEI training that spends time on the problems of “whiteness” and “heteronormativity.” This rhetoric relies on race blame and although it claims to want inclusion it causes divisions. Whatever its intentions, it promotes a narrative of suspicion and conflict.
I have been in faculty meetings where Trump and Republicans are spoken of in degrading ways. The faculty assume that everyone in the room shares their opinions and that they are free to speak in derogatory manners about politicians they disagree with. They feel free to liken conservatives to fascists.
Below is an example of that kind of rhetoric at an ASU event that vilified President Trump. You will not see similar events about Presidents Obama or Biden. The vitriol is reserved for Trump. I have heard faculty say that Trump represents white supremacy.
What happens when faculty speak this way? Although they claim to want to uphold the values of diversity and inclusion this rhetoric divides people. A large percentage of ASU students are conservatives who voted for Trump. They have the right to a university education free from political discrimination aimed at conservatives.
The radical left has spent years asserting that Trump is a threat to democracy and likening him to Hitler. That kind of hateful rhetoric has consequences. The threat to democracy is when reasoned debate ends and is replaced with the kind of hate we see from such radical professors.
We must return to expecting professors to use reason to form sound arguments. The university is not their personal playground where they can vent fallacious arguments and hate-filled rhetoric. All forms of race blame, religious discrimination, and demonizing conservatives, must end. I will continue to shine a light on this shameful behavior at ASU.
Couldn’t have said it better myself! God was definitely with Trump at the rally in Pennsylvania. I was watching it live on Newsmax when it happened. He is fighting for all people, he could be retired on a beach somewhere playing golf everyday, but he chooses to try and save this country and show us what real democracy is all about.
God bless you professor Owens and the heroic action you are taking by fighting against the evil actions of these universities and how they are trying to corrupt our young people.
What a self absorbed moron. How’d that Revolution in Venezuela turn out? Funny how these fools think that dictators are somehow so much more preferable than duly elected leaders who have limited terms of power. Oligarchy anyone?
Socialism has been a spectacular disaster EVERYWHERE, EVERYTIME it’s been tried. Duh!
Don’t need a PHD or any other degree to know that. In theory it’s a great idea but then people start behaving like people and expect deferential treatment, feel entitled to acquisition what others have worked for and seemed surprised when it’s not appreciated.
Like moths to a flame, these neoliberals can’t seem to see the failure that Marxism has always been. It is divisive and anti human yet often adopted by intellectuals who see themselves as champions of society when they’re really rather wrecking balls.
No human system of governance will ever be free of flaws for the simple reason that humans are never free of flaws.
You’d think that these eggheads might be able to grasp this but hey, they’re smarter than everyone else so...🤨
