Earlier this year DePaul University was given the first-ever "Lifetime Censorship Award" by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education for its long, inglorious history of punishing and suppressing mostly conservative speech.

The nation's largest Catholic university – which doesn't want students to hear about radical Islam's threat to gay people, vandalism against pro-lifers or criticism of race preferences – has appeared with regularity on FIRE's annual list of the worst colleges for free speech.

[...] DePaul is slashing dozens of staff positions to "place the university in a better long-term position to invest in strategic growth," according to a statement to staff Thursday obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

The 62 full- and part-time staff members are mostly in administrative support roles, and they represent 3.5 percent of non-faculty workers. The statement didn't specify exact positions. The school avoided the ire of its faculty by sparing them any layoffs.

    I'll answer your question. And, I'll point to Bret. All those intersectional students assumed and/or presumed that their ideas were superior to any ideas that Bret may have, and they assumed the authority to corner him, shout him down, try to intimidate him, and to run him off campus. Authoritarian assholes, all of them.

    Put the shoes on the opposite feet. Suppose some black student(s) were run off of campus because they didn't act white enough? Or, they failed to say "Yassuh" and "Nossuh" when a white addressed them?

    While we are on the subject - let me express my contempt for each and every person who played along with the student's demands, without believing in them. Watch that video. Are all of those white kids self loathing whites, or are they contemptible little shits who are afraid to speak their own minds? Not that there is much difference in the value of the two groups.

    Totalitarian leftism. The left announces it's agenda, refuses to hear any rebuttal, tells you bluntly that "this is going to happen, you can go along, or you can get out".

    Left unchecked, it's only a matter of time until The Night of Broken Glass, or Kristallnacht. Brownshirt bastards.
