Johns Hopkins’s And Planned Parenthood’s Troubling Extremism

By George F. Will April 5

We know Johns Hopkins University is devoted to diversity, because it says so. Its “Diversity and Inclusion Statement,” a classic of the genre, says the university is “committed to sharing values of diversity and inclusion by recruiting and retaining a diverse group of students.” Hopkins has an Office of Institutional Equity and a “Diversity Leadership Council” that defines “inclusion” as “active, thoughtful and ongoing engagement with each other.” Unless you are a member of Voice for Life (VFL), an antiabortion group.

Hopkins’s Student Government Association has denied VFL status as a recognized student group for two reasons: VFL’s Web site links to other organizations that display graphic images of aborted babies. And it plans to engage in peaceful, quiet “sidewalk counseling” outside a local abortion clinic, which the SGA considers “harassment.”

Hopkins’s student conduct code enjoins students “to protect the university as a forum for the free expression of ideas.” And although Hopkins has a stern policy against sexual harassment, it says the purpose of this policy is not “to inhibit free speech or the free communication of ideas by members of the academic community.” Presumably that also applies to other forms of “harassment.”

Suppose such SGA-recognized student groups as the Arab Students Organization, the Black Student Union, the Hopkins Feminists, or the Diverse Sexuality and Gender Alliance were to link their Web sites to provocative outside organizations or were to counsel persons not to patronize firms with policies those groups oppose.

Would the SGA want to deny them recognition as student groups? Of course not. Obviously, the SGA has acted to express animus against the content of VFL’s speech and to protect students from the discomfort of disagreement.

“Diversity’ is now code word for leftist murder and hate. Every radical “Progress” against human life and justice is done in the name of “diversity.” Sick.

I have no problem when tolerance is a two way street but how can you embrace a religion that is violently exclusionary of all others? Just asking.

Documentation File on the harmful impact of the Counterculture of Obamanation on America.

___________________

Barry Soetoro, aka B. Hussein Obama, 5 days before the end of GWB’s Presidential term, told ‘The Gullible’ the following: “We are five days away from FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!”

Going on 5 years now, the best friends that Obama could have had to help him achieve his above stated dastardly goal were the RINO leaderships in the US House and Senate, AND THEY ARE STILL IN POWER!

_____________________

IMHO, the Counterculture of Obamanation will continue to destroy America for as long as the US Congressional RINOs allow it to, and not one minute more!

Graewoulf, political correctness, aka social Marxism was totally planned and intended to break down and cleanse the American culture and society of freedom.

We could not have constitutional freedom with a self destructive, uneducated, unethical public. The KGB installed leftist cultural termites and now the fruit of all their labor, and all our weakness is ripe on the vine. They other major factor was open borders - invasion of foreigners who disrespect the fruits of the freedom they came to devour.

It is over. We will fall into slavery for a time. They are blood thirsty and will kill a lot of refusnik people in the name of Obamacare. It is going to be targeted cuts and denials of life saving medicine and care. They will target the generation who made it through life beyond the Marxist brain washing.

All I can say for myself, is that I did the best I could. Republicans screwed the country by playing stupid and evil and self serving with the Marxists. I organized parents and we beat them off in every public school where my sons attended and then they graduated...

I disagree.

We are simply giving away millions of American jobs.

Democrats and Republicans both. As fast as we can.

Nobody is looking out for Americans anymore.

Nobody.

Well, we agree that after I mention the invasion over our borders, I should have listed the screw the West’s economies aka, global trade agreements. It’s a race to the bottom of humanity for the West ! The middle class and the American opportunity, constitution and culture that made it possible, is dying if not already dead. All we need to do is bury it. Libs can then erase it from the memory of future generations. “What are you talking about, “middle class?”

We have been attacked on all fronts.
