These Western Washington University students are disgraceful. I hope someone does the same to them someday.

I worked with Doug from 1999 to 2004 on the Cascade Foothills Corridor project. I admire him and enjoyed working with him. He’s my state senator, and I consider him a friend. I’d like to see him run for governor some day.

A degreed scientist, co-founder of Greenpeace, takes the position that global warming is not proved, is a hoax.

Be a “climate denier” and we will strip you of all your worldly possessions.

If that fails we will rape, pillage and burn.

Sounds like spoiled liberal brats.

Why aren’t the students identified by name?

said WWU President Bruce Shepard. “Senator Ericksen, a Western alumnus, has proven to be a friend to Western and a strong advocate … The strength of our democracy is that all citizens, including students and leaders like Senator Ericksen, have the freedom of expression to take positions with diverse viewpoints.”

The budding fascists will never give-up.

Kick the students out, and refuse to forward official transcripts because of their terrorist activities.

They will then receive the fate they want to inflict. I think that is fair.

These useful idiots are nothing more than modern day terrorists, so much for tolerance.

“Sen. Doug Ericksen is welcome to have whatever political views he wants, but by misinforming the public on the science of climate change, he is undermining the credibility of our own degrees and reflecting poorly on the caliber of education students receive here,” the students said in a statement to the Herald.

Actually students that were admitted and continued to be enrolled thinking you can erase history by removing a degree that was validly earned reflects complete cluelessness on your part and damages the credibility of the university.

I don’t know much of anything about Doug Ericksen, but judging by the fact that the people who apparently have declared themselves to be his sworn enemies are tantamount to modern-day, brown-shirted book burners, I’d guess that he is a fine and upstanding example of everything that is good about this country.

WWU President Bruce Shepard should grow a set and expel these students...

Trying to revoke an alumni masters degree is not "freedom of expression" or a "diverse viewpoint" ...

It's academic terrorism...

So when will WWU President Bruce Shepard be launching an investigation into why his facility is failing so poorly at educating their students that they think their viewpoint on fantasy trumps actual reality? And which professors will he be firing?

Mr. Students seems to work anonymously.

Guess they’re not too confident in their cause.

We criticize Republicans all the time around here, and rightly so. They’re passive, afraid to stand up for conservative principles that work, and far too often seek to cut deals with the other side. That said, they don’t engage in the politics of personal vilification and destruction the way the left does. Well, unless it’s one of us or any other conservative. Nonetheless, most Republicans don’t engage that other side in that manner, but liberals see it differently. They aren’t just hellbent on defeating us politically, but they will stoop to any level to destroy our professional reputations and our personal lives. These idiots up in Washington trying to revoke this state senator’s masters degree from Western Washington University shouldn’t come as a shock.

Their own actions show that attempts to educate these students and teach them how do make informed judgements has been an utter failure and a waste of time and money.

Ericksen’s critics could not be reached for comment and did not appear to have any formal name or structure. Their crusade was profiled in a local newspaper, the Bellingham Herald.

So we know they are actually students...how?

The students acknowledged they weren’t trying to change Ericksen’s mind on the issue.

“We’re framing it in a more radical way,” students said of the effort to revoke Ericksen’s degree. “We’re not just trying to have a conversation with him or hold him accountable. We’re trying to revoke his degree and get people to pay attention.”

So, no debate, no discussion, no exchange of thought or demonstration of academic process, just crude, naked force. These "students", if that's what they are, would be right at home in brown shirts.

Ya know, if his degree can be revoked, the same can be done to special widdle snowflakes’ degree, too. Yes, kiddies, wrap your little pea brains around the concept of slippery slopes.
