Feminist Studies Professor Accused of Assaulting Teenage Prolife Demonstrator
The College Fix ^ | 03/12/2014 | Jennifer Kabbany

SANTA BARBARA – A department of feminist studies professor has been accused of going berserk after coming across a campus prolife demonstration that used extremely graphic displays, leading a small mob of students to chant “tear down the sign” before grabbing one of the signs, storming off with it, then allegedly engaging in an altercation with a 16-year-old prolife protestor who had followed the educator to retrieve it.

Much of the scuffle was recorded on a smartphone by the 16-year-old, Thrin Short. The yet-to-be-released video is now in the custody of Santa Barbara law enforcement officials, who are investigating the March 4 incident.

The professor at the heart of the controversy is Mireille Miller-Young, an associate professor whose area of emphasis is black cultural studies, pornography and sex work, according to her faculty webpage. Joan Short, 21, also published her version of events.

“Although we were interrupted, we reached a lot of students,” she stated. “Many of them will not be able to think complacently about abortion ever again. … With babies dying every day, we know that we have to use even our spare time to do something to end abortion.”

Several UCSB students posted comments underneath Joan Short’s essay that they are sickened by the visits. An op-ed written by a UCSB student and published two days after the incident in the student newspaper The Daily Nexus stated that ”these groups are threatening the well-being of students, yet nothing is being done. We should not feel unsafe on our own campus. These acts of shaming and violence are beyond unacceptable, and in no case have these groups warned the student body before showing such images on campus.”

Garza said the campus is public property,...were in the free-speech zone, and by law they are allowed to demonstrate there.

So one student commented that looking at the violent and sickening images of abortion is making them feel "unsafe" on campus. Do these people ever listen to themselves?

Her focus appears to be whoring, smut, and community agitating.

...prolife demonstration that used extremely graphic displays

Probably one of those signs that showed the TRUTH that leftists don't want to be reminded of.

They hate every time we expose what they support. Every person who is on the fence and sees these images, falls on our side. KEEP UP THE PRESSURE ON THESE MURDERERS!

Feminazis are angry, self-hating and have something wrong in the head.

I read that sentence and had to go back to the top to see if I was being snookered by an onion or other satire site.

Nope. :-D

The “professor” was true to the cause - use violence against truth. Destroy the ability of the dissent to communicate. Scream victimhood while attacking.

You know how people point out that Islam is not a religion, it’s a system og totalitarian governance that is at war wit the world?

So is liberalism. Leftists are only talking to you to see if you obey them. Dissent is cause for elimination, not discussion.

I fear that Americans are waking up far too slowly.

“Free speech” — to the Left — has always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints.

Her PhD dissertation was a history of black women in American pornography, earned at NYU.

Hang on folks - she’s a “professor” with multiple degrees in silliness.

Somebody with all that on her CV who finds abortion pictures offensive should probably ask herself why.

“These acts of shaming”

Acts of shaming? What about the shameful acts that preceded the acts of shaming? Over 50,000,000 of them since Roe v Wade, I am informed.

Do people really get away with whining about “acts of shaming?” Now that’s shameful.

May I guess why? Maybe she’s killed a few babies herself, and she’s certainly condoned the killing of numerous babies, so perhaps the pictures threaten to remind her of the enormity of her crimes.

Just guessing.

You’re right about that. Show me a wife with two last names and I’ll show you a man who only thinks he is married.

I doubt she had a smile plastered on her face when she raged on the anti-abortion booth.
