“students will be suspended if found to have twice engaged in violence or other disorderly conduct — neither of which have been clearly defined — that disrupts the free speech of other people. Students will be expelled if found to have done so three times . . . reinforces institutionalized white supremacy — and other oppressive forms of systemic power — by criminalizing the self-advocacy undertaken by the most vulnerable populations . . .”
“obscured the right to free speech by calling for it to be expanded to include “right-leaning” speakers . . . hate speech plays not only in inciting violence but as a form of violence itself . . . colleges and universities have not only historically benefited from institutional forms of power (e.g., use of African slave labor and transacting black bodies for financial gain) but also still contribute to the social reproduction and exacerbation of issues such as class stratification, sexism and rape culture, and, yes, the proliferation of white supremacist worldviews . . .”
The entire article is nonsense that would stand out in most works, but I quoted most of the worst offenders. Polysyllabic writing seems to have replaced scholarship. For an essay representing itself as reasoned, this is among the least rational attempts to justify terrorism that I have ever read.
