Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Quote:A University of Southern California professor recently argued that punishing protesters who disrupt conservative speakers can reinforce “white supremacy.”

Charles H.F. Davis, a professor of education at USC, argued in an essay for Inside Higher Ed that punishing protesters contributes to white supremacy because it can unfairly “suppress and criminalize” students, especially in light of protesters’ valiant goals.

For example, Davis argues against punishing students who shouted down a recent Ben Shapiro talk at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, since students were fighting against “racist rhetoric advanced by Shapiro.”

In an interview with Campus Reform, Davis explained that “punishing protesters unfairly criminalizes students,” and that colleges who do so “run the risk of creating an unsafe and threatening environment.”

Davis defines protesters as those who “use disruptive tactics to shut down hate speech as well as those holding signs, protesting outside of speaker venues, and engaged in other forms of resistance against white supremacy.”

Students who protest “are disproportionately students of color and students representing other marginalized groups,” Davis noted. “Issuing a punishment, especially in these cases, is a clear form of criminalization by deeming protest unacceptable,” he added.

Further, while hate speech is protected by the First Amendment, Davis warns that colleges should “resist the constant conflation of hate speech and free speech,” adding that this is justified because hate speech is “violent and invites violence, which should not be allowed on-campus.”

Never forget the way the Left sees it:
*Their violence is speech.
*Other speech is violence.

Here's what you need to do:

Write an amendment to be proposed by Congress.
Secure two-thirds majority support for the amendment.
Introduce a joint resolution to propose the amendment.
Debate the resolution.
Pass a joint resolution in Congress.

The last amendment to pass, the 27th, which "prohibits any law that increases or decreases the salary of members of Congress from taking effect until the start of the next set of terms of office for Representatives" took 202 years to pass...and *everyone* hates Congress

So there ya go....knock yourself out, liberals!

Exhibition of what? The insanity of the left? Well yeah, you win. Case closed.

You may not understand that you have just exhibited support for certain segments of our society to engage in criminal behavior without fear of punishment. Or you may fully understand it. Either way your argument is racist, subversive and not just a little moronic.

All you guys post about is rage. It’s the latest in the line of what to be upset about. It’s the outrage industry and business is good.

Someone on the left actively encourages suppression of free speech, and "you guys" is the problem?

You are off base on this and you need to adjust your lens. What they want to do to "you guys" now is what they will do to you, later.

Exactly.

Many of the groups (far left0 who were victims of McCarthyism are now in favor of it. They really don't understand history. Of course, the Crucible is probably no longer read. Huck Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird are viewed as "racist."

Says the guy from the camp that elevated outrage to an art form. Irony at it's finest...

I'm pretty much starting to think that one of the requirements to teach in higher education is the surgical removal of the portion of the brain that controls logic.
