Video from investigative journalism outfit Project Veritas (PV) released Thursday morning shows a Cornell administrator shredding a copy of the U.S. Constitution after a PV journalist posing as a student told the administrator the document is triggering.
Elizabeth McGrath, Cornell’s Lead Title IX Investigator, is seen in the video feeding pages from a pocket-size Constitution through a paper shredder after the undercover journalist says it would be therapy for her. McGrath asks the journalist if she would like to participate, an offer she declines.
I have my own personal reasons why the Constitution is very triggering for me, the PV journalist tells McGrath. In response, McGrath calls the Constitution a flawed document and calls those wrote wrote the Constitution flawed individuals. The video cuts to her saying the Supreme Court Justices who voted against same sex marriage were, you know, really out of their minds…
When McGrath suggests the document be left with her, the PV journalists asks if they could shred the document as therapy for her, to which McGrath responds, Absolutely. Right before the shredding, McGrath says, Free speech means freedom to destroy whatever you want to as well. Vice President of University Relations Joel Malina released a statement on the video, reading in part, Whatever personal views [McGrath] may have shared in order to connect with a ‘student’ who appeared to be in crisis, as an employee of Cornell University she was appropriately focused on addressing the apparently urgent need of the person before her and not on any larger political context. At the time of publishing, a request for comment delivered to McGrath had not been immediately responded to.

People who think like this are traitors and mental defective who should be exiled for life,
Yes. My formerly conservative cousin has lived there since the ‘70s. At our family reunion last year he was spouting things clearly liberal, including gun control So he’s gone to the dark side. My grandfather is turning in his grave, I’m sure.
That is a crime under US law.
EXCERPTED from main part of the Federal Law:
18 USC at 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government "Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States.. ...Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof..." http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/1...
“People who think like this are traitors and mental defective who should be exiled for life,”
I mostly agree but would change the preposition “for” to FROM.
Exiled, they would continue to foment trouble.
Right before the shredding, McGrath says, Free speech means freedom to destroy whatever you want to as well. shoulda destroyed the stooopid cow's office before leaving and say you told me it'a alright!!!
“Right before the shredding, McGrath says, Free speech means freedom to destroy whatever you want to as well.”
So someone driving a bulldozer toward her house would be OK?
That ‘professor’ should spend a couple years living in some African sh*t hole; she’d come home and kiss the document and build a shrine to it in her home.
Instead of being places of learning schools have become places where the mentally ill are coddled, their every neurosis fed by witless administrators.
Unfortunately, my son goes there.
He thinks O’Keefe is an ass.
You just can’t make this stuff up fast enough. Since 1969,
Cornell never fails to disappoint.
Ouch.
I presume that’s why they stopped teaching Civics:
” —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Yes, I get your point. Boobs, such as these, wish to spout off as they do, they should do so w/out the taxpayer teet to suckle upon.
The existence of Cornell University in its present cult-like state is triggering for me.
ORLY???
Try doing that with a koran. You will be investigated by the IRS and harassed by the State Department.
STRUGGLING TAX-PAYING AMERICANS NEED TO GO THIS ROUTE to nail govt officials like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Loretta Lynch labeling Americans terrorists, Lois Lerner, John Koskinen, targeting conservatives, criminal members of Congress, and other govt-paid factotums, using public monies to rewrite laws arbitrarily for their own self-serving political agendas and other criminal purposes.
BACKSTORY The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about “the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements on the public payrollâ€. The GA Assembly then adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.
(RICO is routinely used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in at its inception, RICO was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members).
In recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to crooked government officials: (1) those accused of using their public offices for personal gain, and, (2) officials of govt agencies using public monies to flout the law.
To bring a case under Georgias RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies — such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among other felonies).
RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the blanket indictment, and to charge that govt employees, publicy-funded and publicly-sanctioned entities were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
EXAMPLE A govt official commits two felonies by (1) accepting, and, (2) filing falsified documents.
NOTE GA's RICO law recently put 26 corrupt teachers in jail for taking bribes (bonuses) to falsify official documents. And if proof is established that RICO'ed criminal public officials impaired the commercial and economic viability of the region, that could also be prosecutable under the Hobbs Act.
Beheadings are more appropriate for these vermin.
And yet let someone there try shredding a Koran. Diversity my read end.
That smell IS Cornell!
