This College Professor Is Under Siege for Challenging Transgender Orthodoxy
The Daily Signal ^ | October 13, 2017 | Jarrett Stepman

A Boise State University professor recently learned what happens when you challenge left-wing social narratives on college campuses.

Scott Yenor, a tenured professor, has been under siege on campus after publishing articles with The Heritage Foundation and The Daily Signal about feminism and the transgender movement.

In those articles, Yenor explained the similarity in philosophy between the early feminists and modern transgender movement and how they aim at undermining traditional family values.

He wrote in a Daily Signal article on Aug. 2:

If a state university in a state like Idaho cannot protect academic freedom, then the country is in far worse shape than anyone thought.

The left destroys good people. There is no free speech in this formerly, but no more, great country.

Academic freedom means that the professor is free to say anything that the Party approves.

And the Party reserves the right to shut down anything it doesn't.

Idaho? It might as well be in New York City or San Francisco. “University” is now a global(ist) institution, beholden to nobody except the politically correct elites. Too bad about all those state taxes, huh?

Well let’s see: 1-daily inundation of anti-American propaganda; 2-attacks through the courts to assist the destruction of Western Civilization; 3-total control of the educational system at all levels also pushing the destruction of Western Civilization(Also known as White Male Supremacy.)

Yeah, we indeed are in sheep dip.

Very appropriate photo. Today’s American Progressives are very similar, in both philosophy and tactics, to Mao’s Cultural Revolution proponents. If they could send us off to re-education camps, they would. Heck, there’s a video that shows Bill Ayers (Obama’s good buddy) saying that, as a leader in the Weather Underground, he was willing to kill 25 million US citizens in order to accomplish their goal. That would have been a much higher percentage of the population than the 10s of millions of Chinese that Mao killed.

Thirty years ago, Professor Allan Bloom wrote that almost all students said they believe the truth is relative. No matter their backgrounds, they were unified in their relativism and allegiance to equality. These replaced the traditional inalienable natural rights that used to be the American grounds for a free society. This isn’t the equality of our Framers before God and the Law.

Powerful image.

for moral or political outrage, which is the tool of the mediocre to bring about their revenge upon the gifted...”

“”the similarity in philosophy between the early feminists and modern transgender movement and how they aim at undermining traditional family values.””

That’s a bulls eye..No other explanation for the lunacy.

Just think - none of us will be around by the time those students (like the ones from the sixties) will be in Congress or the WH. The ones who will be around won’t have any idea what to call their congressional representatives. AND if they make a mistake with a proper (HA!) gender pronoun, off with their heads, I presume.

This state university is probably going to end up losing huge sums of State tax payer support and maybe even face legal consequences.

This is a mainstream view, one probably quite popular in Idaho. People should ask, is this university really just a propaganda institution abusing tax payer dollars and benefits to indoctrinate kids into being the weapons of their own civilization’s destruction.
