Dartmouth College recently canceled a live event featuring journalist Andy Ngo (we’ve got top to bottom coverage here). The College ditched it for a virtual version citing security concerns. We know that’s BS. We also know Dartmouth is at war with free speech, but I’m here to help.
Well, Colorado State University is here to help.
If you or someone you know has been raped, assaulted, robbed, doxxed, affected by a free speech event on campus,
…there are 17 departments and 25 programs available to help you with what I can only describe as PFSTSD. That’s Post Free-Speech Traumatic Stress Disorder.
My acronym not theirs (and it also works for Pre-Free Speech Traumatic Stress Disorder).
And I’m not entirely sure they do not already have this at Dartmouth. Maybe one of the College Republicans can fill in the missing pieces, but until then, why not?
In 2017, one-hundred Dartmouth professors backed visiting Prof. Mark Bray and his book, which justified Antifa’s use of force (violence) to silence speech the Left opposes or the threat of violence to prevent the speech from happening.
Sounds familiar? A lot like what happened to Andy Ngo and Gabriel Nadales.
At this point, it’s in the Ivy League School’s blood.
A 2018 survey of Dartmouth students showed how intolerant left-leaning students were to opinions outside their own.
And in 2020, Dartmouth ranked 52 out of 55 elite schools for speech tolerance.
If anyone needs services for PFSTSD it is the elite Dartmouth students and faculty. And with their 6 billion dollar endowment, they should be able to afford them without meddling with tuition.
So, they can afford to prevent live events with conservative or non-left speakers from happening and add a raft of resources to help faculty, staff, and students manage the stress of hearing about even the possibility that someone might come and say words they can’t bear to hear.
Again, assuming the wimps and wusses don’t already have that.
Elite doesn’t mean what they think it means.
