Contending that "so-called free speech is delusional," DePaul University sociology professor Dr. Shu-Ju Cheng has resigned her post in protest.
The event that spurred Dr. Cheng's protest was the aborted speech of Milo Yiannopolis on the University's campus last week. Despite paying the University for security, student thugs were permitted to seize the stage and disrupt the speech. Cheng was outraged, not that thugs were allowed to drown out views with which they disagreed, but that Yiannopolis was invited "to air his anti-progressive message."
"The whole concept of freedom of speech is an antiquated idea derived from dead white men," Cheng contended. "The University has a social obligation to protect students from exposure to such intellectual pollution. No one has the right to speak out against progressive ideas. No one has the right to oppose social justice. The University's negligence in enforcing correct ideology forced the champions of progressive thought to violently suppress an odious advocate of racist oppression."
Cheng rejected University officials' arguments that "the disruption of Yiannopolis' speech and the confiscation of his $1,000 security deposit" could be an acceptable middle ground. "There can be no compromise with the advocates of 'white freedoms.' Merely making them suffer a little bit falls far short of what should be our goal. Only when the enemies of social justice are crushed beneath a righteous wave of revolutionary action can we afford to relax our efforts."
In related news, MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews praised violent anti-Trump protesters for "rising to the occasion. The prospect of a Trump presidency has got to be terrifying for these outcasts of white society. Just because they lack the skill to articulate their grievances in a civilized fashion doesn't lessen the importance or legitimacy of their cause. In a way, cracking heads can be a very forceful way to change people's minds."
