Harvard writer: Free speech threatens liberalism and must be destroyed

So anyone that wants some regulations directed towards preserving our environment, making sure businesses can't price gauge or a safety net is the same as communism to you. As far as I am concern these things are all elements of being a civilized first world society.

Even child labor laws to you people are communism.

At least we vote for the government.

I can live with those things, to a point, but we're talking about academics willing to gut the Freedom of Speech on campus because some professors say things that aren't approved of by the group as a whole. I think it's exceptionally dangerous to even consider going down the path of "approved speech."
 
First, she assumes that liberalism is truly about justice. Starting with that false narrative as a base makes the rest of the argument moot.

Liberals are always the first to tell you that they are the only ones who care about people. Of course, they also believe that every other person is a victim who needs government to do battle for them.

Their policies are nothing more than sneaky ways to bring in socialism with the age-old argument that it's all for the greater good. And every time, their nice sounding policies backfire, but they don't hold themselves responsible for the damage. They claim their good intentions are what count, not the devastation left behind. They fight poverty and we end up with more people in poverty than ever before, though most live better than those who subsidize them. They fix health care and now it's more expensive than ever and less people have it.

We really can't afford any more help.

I say we threaten liberalism by continuing to practice free speech. Liberalism must be destroyed and replaced with common sense.

If this Harvard University student got her way, free speech on campus would be abolished and professors with dissenting views fired, because radical leftism is the only permissible political philosophy and the First Amendment is a barrier preventing modern colleges from fulfilling their proper role as indoctrination camps.

Her name is Sandra Korn. She is a senior at Harvard and columnist for the Harvard Crimson.

In a recent column, Korn unambiguously insisted that the university should stop guaranteeing professors and students the right to hold controversial views and pursue research that challenges liberalism.


“If our university community opposes racism, sexism, and heterosexism, why should we put up with research that counters our goals?” asked Korn in her column.

The column’s subtitle was even more direct: “Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice.”

Korn cited several instances of perspectives that clashed with her own being banned from campus as triumphant examples of the way Harvard should be run. The firing of Subramanian Swamy, a Harvard summer school instructor who was dismissed for his anti-Islamic views, was one such triumph.

She also invoked the academic boycott of Israel — something condemned by Harvard President Drew Faust and numerous other university presidents — as an example of the kind of tactics leftists should defend and use in order to get their way on campus.

Korn did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The cesspool of shit these universities are producing is truly frightening. Basically, all liberal scumbags.[/quote]

Progressive

No liberal could believe what she does, though progressives could and do distort and sling shit like you do[/QUOTE]

Ok then. How about you define the difference between a liberal and a progressive for us all. While you're at it define the difference between those two, a communist, a humanitarian, a socialist and a fascist.

This should prove interesting if you're up for it.[/QUOTE]Sandra Y.L. Korn ’14, a Crimson editorial writer, is a joint history of science and studies of women, gender and sexuality concentrator in Eliot House. Her column usually appears on alternate Mondays.

Read her article and the OP , misses her overall point. She is basically saying not all opinions should be seen as a legit opinion.
Example. Obama not beimg a natural born citizen should not be respected with a dignified answer which would give said question an air of legitimacy.

Her point is correct, but she may be pushing it a little to far. Id need to read more opinions from her to get a good overall perspective.

Naturally the OP didnt understand her point and the dailycaller failed again.

Who decides which opinions are good and which are not?
 
She is ugly, therefore hates males and is a liberal.

Sounds to me like a republican liberal...

Really? I'm not a big fan of Republicans because most of them are liberals. But please define what you think a Republican liberal would look like. I'm guessing McCain and Boehner would fit the profile.

Abe Lincoln, Log Cabiners,, the RNC

“Despite the media’s often-reported storyline of the right’s opposition to gay rights, the fact is that a large majority of rank-and-file Republicans support legislation that affects gay Americans, including the Employment Non-Discrimination Act … a majority of Republicans is satisfied with the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and supports keeping marriage a state issue,” Kabel wrote. “It’s time that our Party’s platform and elected officials begin to reflect the views of most Republicans.”

Shirley, Obama has a place in his Cabinet for her.
She's an up and coming star! :thup:
Kids. This is why we send them to school. Liberalism can stand up to anything, it usually has to.

Liberalism stands upon the base of the rock of stupidity.

It has to, in order that the masses vote the Liberal, live the Liberal, and perpetuate the Liberal.

It is the ultimate roundabout clusterfuck.

Nuf said? Really?

In asked you to provide a definition of the differences and you give me a link to this idiots post and think that's enough said? She didn't say anything even remotely coherent that would support your position.

"history of science and studies of women, gender and sexuality concentrator in Eliot House". That's a profession? I'm thinking I used to do that job in night clubs when I was younger. It was called looking for dates back then. I never knew I was a history of science and studies of women, gender and sexuality concentrator. I thought I was simply watching girls and working on a way to make them like me.

You still haven't answered my question even with the pussy distraction.

She criticizes liberals for not making other view points shut up. She in no way refutes any of the ideologies or stances of the opposition other than they simply should shut up and stop fucking up her mojo.

I asked you a straight forward question. Are you going to get to that or not?

When one has such a distorted view of National Socialism, liberalism, and comunism there is no point arguing with you.
 
She admitted that liberalism cannot survive question or scrutiny. It ultimately must fail.
 
Yeah, Liberalism can't survive. It's only the reason that you have computers, cars, cellphones, medicine, science, space ships, voting rights, a Constitution, and everything else that is currently being taken for granted.

Conservatives are never in favor of progress. That's what makes them Conservative instead of Progressive.
 
Another excuse for Republicans to mock education. They are one group of people who want their kids to be just as successful as they aren't.
