UNFAIR - Med Student Slammed With 1 Year Suspension for Contesting Aspects of Microaggression-ism
Big League Politics ^ | Jan 4th, 2018 | me

Posted on 01/04/2019 1:05:53 PM PST by gaijin

Kieran Ravi Bhattacharya had a pediatrician mother who pushed him, and when his friends were out playing baseball and lighting things on fire, he had to stay indoors and play his violin.

Kieran is 22 years old now, but let's take a look at him:

But he stuck to it, eventually winning acceptance to the medical school of the University of Virginia, where the acceptance rate is just 6%.

In mid November Kieran had a class called Social Issues in Medicine. One of the lecturers for this class was Dr. Beverly Adams, pictured below:


No, I'm serious. That's really her.

They say she, "has a PhD in Microaggressions". Hey, what in hell is that..?

I looked her up in NCBI and she seems to get really hot over microaggressions shown by doctors in their care for Native Americans on revervations (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4386281/).

But I digress...

Dr. Adams' lecture to Kieran's class carried the title, "Microaggressions: Why They Are So Sensitive". Apparently one of the early life experiences of Dr. Adams that attuned her to the problem of Microaggressions was being from West Virginia. People would ask her the haunting question, "You're from West Virginia, so why are you wearing SHOES..?"

Shattering, eh?

Another bit of her personal holocaust was the unforgettable zinger, "You're from West Virgina, but where is your accent..?"

Wow, that would really leave a mark, I'd just sink to my knees in tears.

You can confirm my claims via the audio file link I'm going to give you below, thought you have to advance the bar to 28:45, where after Dr. Adams' lecture Kieran asks for clarification about Microaggressions pretty politely, nothing at all like how AntiFa might "question" you:

Fast Forward to 28:45, their exchange continues to 34:00 or so

In their exchange, anarchist Kieran did bad stuff like ask, "Hey, if I punch someone in the face, SURE I'd be guilty, but if I punch THE AIR and someone takes offense, well....can I merit blame for that..?"

Because of Bhattacharya's questions about Dr. Adams' lecture, he was summoned to a conference with UVAMS's "ASAC", the Academic Standards and Achievement Committee.

You can see the committe in the photo below:


They don't look like they are playin', huh?

Knowing how crazy the politics can get on campus these days, Keiran practiced a little Defensive Doctoring by taking that committee photo personally on that day, something I'll bet they didn't like.

ASAC told Bhattacharya that he had been, "repeatedly disruptive and threatening". When Kieran asked the committee to cite some examples of his threatening behavior they cited for him the fact that he was audio recording the ongoing meeting with them.

Nice, huh? They handed Kieran a one year suspension.

Med School is not like college, where student body is highly fluid; you are bonded to a group of 100 or so people very tightly. Study circles form, informal mentor/mentee arrangements are made, each helping others. Usually you graduate as that same group --this needless suspension is intended to induce Kieran to QUIT medical school completely, let leave the school blameless.

Meanwhile Kieran would still be on the hook for all the tuition debt.

UVA also arranged for their Police Chief to drop Kieran a line:

There were other scary police documents, too, they basicaly say if he steps on campus he gets the cuffs.

So here is this upstanding, studious guy who delays gratification, and works his butt off. But juuuust because of a few polite questions to a SJW from hell after a lecture --POOF..!!

It's alllll gone...

His twitter handle is kieranravib .

They’ve lived in such a comfortable bubble that they’re at the high end of the Maslow hierarchy of needs ... and think that it is their absolute right and moral right to remain there.

That for them to be inconvenienced or told they’re wrong, hurting their feelings or not doing whatever they demand, is a sin and violation of their civil rights ... and on part with civil rights like equal access to public services and fear of being assaulted based on skin color.

Too bad Dr. Adams, from a rural state could not have studied math, engineering or the physical sciences and had not gone into a grievance studies department.

The people in these departments are seriously unhinged. They are regurgitating crap.

There are no medical school required courses on “microaggressions” in India, China, Russia or any other sane society.

Who does the future belong to?

The replier cites the fact that the lecture was OPTIONAL as a mitigating factor:

I don’t get that. He voluntarily CHOSE to attend that lecture, ergo he was honor bound to ask no questions..? He SHOULD have agreed with everything, since he didn’t have to be there..?

I don’t follow that logic at all.

And there’s more:

“He acted ERRATICALLY at the library..?” So...he asked —AXED, sorry!— where the card catalogue was, maybe..?

At this school, any type of whacko reasoning seems possible.

Hey how many times do cops say, “Hey if you’re not doing anything WRONG, you shouldn’t mind if we FILM, right?” And they will cite that same reasoning if they audio recording you.

Yet when Keiran snaps their photo or records them, they get all ticked off.

Doesn’t that same reasoning mean the COMMITTEE was doing something wrong..?

It sounds like UVA’s problem with “erratic, weird” Kieran is that he takes his education seriously, that he takes IDEAS seriously, that he values reason and disagreeing agreeably.

KIERAN is the professor here, not UVA.

UVA needs to learn at Kieran’s knee. They owe him serious CA$H.

STAY “WEIRD”, KIERAN..!!!

He neeeds to contact Dinesh D’Souza and get HIM to ask UVA a question or two, maybe make a little FILM out of it.

UVA Med wanted their little secret Kangaroo Court.

Kieran knew how nutty campuses are, how Khymer Rougian their justice is, and he did the right thing:

HE DOCUMENTED IT.

And that pissed the Little Hilters off.

And now he’s going to take them to the cleaners.

This is Duke LaCrosse 2.

Life after life destroyed by insane degenerates. Who’s going to do anything about it? No one, that’s who.

They're going after Gavin McInnes on Twitter right now.

His NPC Nazi neighbors have put out yard signs that say "Hate has no home here", and all the blue-check Twitter Lefties are mocking him over getting mad about it.

McInnes today - random Trump supporters tomorrow.

The war is almost here.

If a kid asks me for advice on a future career field, I would advise them to go into a hands on trade like being a machinist, welder or electrician. There is such a high demand for skilled labor these days. No six figure college debt to pay and no idiotic college professors to put up with.
