History Repeats Itself: College Leftists Create Jew-Free Zones on Berkeley Campus – the Home of Free Speech

@MistyCee Thats true to a point,but when you have private agencies like Twitter et.al censoring information and news stories essentially ON BEHALF of the government,than youre running into a problem.

@DavidT8899 And it's, imo, truly a different problem.

Or at least worthy of a different post.

Maybe even a bigger post, or a new category, because I think national "politics" are increasingly becoming subsidiary to economic multinational politics.

@MistyCee


But there it was, right there on USTA property.

State property.

@4meAndyou @Budwick

Likewise. 🤗 🤗 🤗

@Thinkerbell @4meAndyou This is turning out to be a really great day!

@Budwick you nailed it Bud. A couple of smart cookies

"@MistyCee I understand. Administrative bureaucracy. In the end, it comes down to "No (insert group you dislike here) allowed". Doesn't seem very American to me. Lawsuits should follow.

@carpediem Mebbe, but I don't think lawsuits are such a great thing here, especially with student organizations where the "real" litigants are likely to graduate and move on before they're resolved.

The reality is, even in law schools, we're basically practicing stuff for our young uns, and the process is more important than the specifics.

@Heartlander You’re saying that Yahoo News doesn’t allow comments on the articles? And you assume that liberals are in charge at Yahoo News?

@Theyitis I have no idea who has control over the "comments" switch, whether Yahoo or HuffPost. But the frequency of HuffPost articles thee is a pretty clear give-a-way that someone at Yahoo News tilts left.

@Roadsterrider Why don’t you ask the neo-Nazis in America which party they support?

@Theyitis Because in this country, they are insignificant, they will never be a power to contend with. Do you disagree with my assessment of the Nazi's or Bud's topic and anything that might support it? I think it is historically accurate that Hitler blamed the Jew for of Germany's woes to the point of genocide. Do I find it alarming that an institute of higher learning would bar those of Jewish descent from certain areas, yes I do. Does it matter what political party they are affiliated with? Not to me it doesn't.

@Budwick As much as I'm tempted to continue with this, I'm really not sure its worth it.

Without doubt, some students and some student organizations at Berkely law school are expressing their freedom to speek by trying to limit other individuals' right to speak.

You didn't give me a frigging cite, and when I googled the terms you mentioned, the first thing I came up with was the Administration saying they didn't necessarily agree with the student organisation's votes on the issue.

The students, frankly, really can't, IMO, "defy the Constitution" because they're not state actors, and, in f-ing fact, the First Amendment says that the State can't deny their right to try speak, including speech about others right to speak.

I don't honestly know what UC's reaction to this is, other than reading a frigging Jewish adminstrator's statement that he's not comfortable with it, but my hope is that, as a public institution, it will allow this debate to go on between the various student organizations, and react, ultimately, in accord with its onw REAL First Amendment obligations as a state entity.

@MistyCee Yeah, it seems like a dead horse to me too.
I think if you had opened with your final paragraph, we could have closed the book on thise much earlier.

@Budwick Mebbe, but check out this link I just got below.

In practice, how the University allocates resources, meeting rooms and funds, to various organizations, remains sort of an open issue.

@DDaverde They're law students. Calling their profs Commie Ahole rats probably isn't the best approach.

I mean, I guess, most of them have probably been "indoctrinated" already, with stuff like the ABCs, but still, you might offer them more than pre-hominid sentiments to sway them.

@sunsporter1649 nope it’s not ok.

That’s why democrats don’t have a leader yelling that it’s ok.

Unlike your FUHRER

@Ryderbike So you approve, since you are defending it by not doing anything to condemn it

@sunsporter1649 already have condemned all violence as has president Biden

FUHRER still lying about the election dividing America

@Persephonee
No Phonee - it's not OK.

@Budwick I think that was my point...

@Vin53 Yup, Thats right.

@Budwick I would have to know more about the process and policies of having speakers at the university and who pays for the people to come and talk.

It's not a violation of freedom of speech if people decide they don't want to pay you to hear your ideas.

If the place they were wanting to speak at is open as a "public square" type of forum and they wish to speak freely without compensation just like anyone else can, then it would be a violation to bar them from speaking. Though these are probably paid speaking invitations which don't count.

@ViciDraco
I've been telling you that for a long time.

@ViciDraco "Possibly because Israel has a pretty poor behavioral record lately."

Yeah, we all recall the Israelis' rocketing their own cities

@Budwick @carpediem ..lol...Keep looking the other way, goyim.... its what (((they))) are counting on

@strongbow wow... what are you running around pinning stars on people's chest yet?

@strongbow this is turning me on
