Cornell University Kicks Jesse Watters Off Campus for Asking About Liberal Bias
Fox News ^ | October 26, 2015

Posted on 10/27/2015 3:38:25 PM PDT by NYer

Jesse Watters crashed Cornell University to test students on their liberal “indoctrination” after a report claimed that 96 percent of Cornell professors' donations went to Democrats. However, in the middle of the regular “Watters’ World” questioning, Jesse was kicked off the campus because Cornell media relations had not granted him permission to interview students.

“We ask that you don’t interview students on campus,” Melissa Osgood, Cornell’s deputy director of media relations said.

“Cornell doesn’t have a problem with Fox News, does it?” Watters asked.

“Absolutely not,” Osgood said.

After Watters asked repeatedly, even the senior director of Cornell media relations would not budge, saying that Fox News could not interview students “on campus” and that he would send Watters a statement.

Still, before Watters' ejection, he did get some questions in to some students.

 

Jesse: What’s the vibe on campus?

“A very diverse campus – a bunch of different people from a bunch of different backgrounds.”

Jesse: It’s not that diverse, because according to this report, 96 percent of the donations from faculty here went to Democrats.

“What’s wrong with that?”

 

Jesse: Do you ever feel the professors are pushing a political agenda here?

“I’ve got friends who are liberal arts majors –  they write a paper and they bring up a conservative viewpoint, they won’t get a good grade.”

“If I want an A, I tailor my paper to how the professor leans.”

 

Jesse: 95 percent is kinda high.

“It’s really high.”

 

Jesse: Your brain is a sponge right now, and I’m worried that these teachers are starting to have a chilling effect.

“Uh…”

 

Jesse: I’m going to give you a test to see if you’ve been indoctrinated and how bad it is. Do you think we should build a wall on the Southern border to protect against the illegal alien invasion?

[laughter]

“The invasion…”

“Make it out of ice.”

Jesse: That’s not very smart from a Cornell student.

If you are on Facebook, Cornell is getting beat up rather badly.

Why would he waste time at a small no name progressive community college like Cornell anyway?

There is more diversity of opinion at Moscow University than at our Ivy League schools...and less dogmatic Leftism. The Leftist instructors at our universities shut down freedom of thought. Students are required to profess faith in the tenets of the secular humanist faith, which supplants faith in Jesus as Savior of a fallen humanity and condemns adherents to Hell if it is not rejected later in life. This is a matter of eternal life and death for our children and grandchildren, as well as our nation.

Cornell is now claiming they kicked him off because he didn’t have permission to film there in advance.

You just know that someone like James Okeefe will be showing up there with a fake MSNBC crew to film without a permit and see if they get kicked off

He shouldn’t have any trouble finding students to interview just off campus.
