Compelled Speech On Campus: University Of Colorado Declares Misgendering An "Act Of Violence"

University Of Colorado Declares Misgendering An "Act Of Violence".

We are sickened by these vile petty tyrants.

Jonathan Turley,

The crazed tyrants at the 'University of Colorado Boulder (Boulder) are under fire this week for a statement on the “Pride Office” website stating that misgendering people can be considered an “act of violence.”'

You know what you can do when someone acts violently toward you? You may respond with violence to protect yourself. So, when you tell someone, and the more mentally unbalanced they are, the more likely they are to be misled by this lie, that if they don't call you by the gender name you demand, that you are 'justified' in physically attacking them, which of course, is a crime and if it's vicious enough, a felony.



Higher Education is deeply infected with this despotic filth.

'Opposing viewpoints are now routinely declared to be violence. That allows' sick twisted 'professors and students to rationalize their own act of violence or censorship.'

'The most vivid example was recently seen at Hunter College, which is part of the CUNY system. Professor Shellyne Rodríguez recently was fired after holding a machete to the neck of a New York Post reporter and threatened to “chop you up.” However, Hunter College decided not to fire her over a prior incident in which she trashed a pro-life table run by students.'

Professor Rodríguez, on videotape is screaming at 'students that “you’re not educating s–t […] This is f–king propaganda. What are you going to do, like, anti-trans next? This is bulls–t. This is violent. You’re triggering my students.” Even after a remarkably polite student said that he was “sorry,” Rodríguez would have nothing of it. After all, espousing pro-life views is now “violence.” Rodríguez rejected the apology and declared “No you’re not — because you can’t even have a f–king baby. So you don’t even know what that is. Get this s–t the f–k out of here.”'



'Just a week earlier', another crazed autocratic unbalanced 'professor stopped another “violent” display of pro-life views in New York. Professor Renee Overdyke of the State University of New York at Albany shut down a pro-life display and then resisted arrest.'

'At the University of California at Santa Barbara, feminist studies associate professor Mireille Miller Young criminally assaulted pro-life advocates on campus, and later pleaded guilty to the crime.'

It gets worse. She was actually 'defended by faculty and students, including many who said she was “triggered” by a pro-life display and that pro-life advocates were “terrorists” who did not deserve free speech.'

They excused her criminal assault because they claimed that those that held pro-life views were 'terrorists' and of course, we don't secure the rights of terrorists to engage in terrorism, you see.

Do you see how these lies are used to forbid lawful speech and expression by your fellow Free Citizens? 'It is that easy. You simply declare opposing views “violent” and then you can justify your own violence as a matter of 'self-defense'.'

'Universities must maintain a welcoming and tolerant environment and protect free speech values, including the right to express unpopular views or values.'

'Colorado students have every right to declare misgendering as violence in their eyes, even if' sensible folks disagree. 'The university has an obligation to clearly establish that such views are not the policy or approach of the university itself. The university should state that “while the university supports an inclusive environment, the statements on this site are not official statements or policies of the university.” The university should address the free speech implications of declaring misgendering as a violent act.'

Please discuss.

 

The left has a particular talent for changing the definitions of words on the fly. We see this with words like racism, hate and even democracy. To me they just sound like a bunch of cry babies.

I'm not aware that we did any misgendering in Vietnam, so we didn't do any violence, or at least any of that particular violence, fewer acts of violence in total that the average person does in a day.

 

There seems to be a mass shooting in the news every day or so, but why are we paying so much attention to that when there is a far higher incidence of misgendering?
And that's also an act of violence.

 

intentional misgendering is harassment of students

accidental misgendering, no one cares about

and really, how often do you address someone by their gender vs their name?

if white teachers were calling black men "boy" all the time, we would need rules too, teachers and students should respect one another

people know what harassment is, and doing this intentionally to students over and over is harassment

 

Just more of the same PC garbage. Compelled speech is never free speech.

 

next thing you know, they will ban swear words and other types of bullying, free speech is done for in our schools for sure

they may even make kids raise their hands before they speak

 

Best to address everyone, including the professors, as "Hey You".

 

Yes and people here need to stop calling me "a lefty" because I am not left handed......
