Penn State University recently made a surprising statement about intellectual diversity, only to retract it after outrage from left-wing students.
“Dear conservative students. Your viewpoints are important,” the announcement read, referencing the isolation and self-censorship many conservative students experience on left-wing campuses. According to the schools Director of Strategic Communications, it was part of a statement aimed at creating a supporting and inclusive environment for students.

The message of inclusivity was swiftly met with fire by left-wing students who, according to the school newspaper, “found the Tweet harmful towards students of color and ignorant of the systemic issues that oppress people of color in the United States today.” A number of the offended students statements were then published in the Collegian, where the message was called “disgusting” and a “humiliation for communities of color.”
Some of the left-wing students attacked the statement as they didn’t consider free speech for conservatives a serious issue on campus. The others, ironically, attacked the statement for welcoming conservative viewpoints at all. “(Conservative students) are the students that call us the N-word and show us first-hand what white-supremacy is,” one of the published students claimed.
The University quickly crumpled, and retracted the statement. They did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.

Penn state an indoctrination center and anti-first amendment center.
Then no federal funding plain simple.
The left lies. It is not about inclusiveness or diversity. It is about control and power. Never forget that.
Allowing conservative opposing viewpoints and facts in academia is permission for hate speech. No one wants hate speech on a campus, right? /S
It was quickly replaced with a warning, informing Conservative students that saying “All Lives Matter” to anyone on campus or elsewhere can result in your being murdered, and no one will care or even take notice.
This warning is also in force if you write “All Lives Matter,” or enter that character string on any digital device that is connected to the internet.
Unbelievable the absolute p*ssies out there who call themselves men, utterly disgusting and pathetic. All the vets who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today, and these pukes can’t even stand up to bunch of millennial scum rats.
[[“found the Tweet harmful towards students of color]]
Um- some black folks are conservatives!
found the Tweet ... ignorant of the systemic issues that oppress people of color in the United States today.”
Says the completely free, privileged college student-
oppression and suppression by a very small minority is very dangerous
It is really hard to believe this level of cowardice exists in a setting like this.
Description and purpose of a University is explained here.
“The purpose of a university is to be the guardian of reason, inquiry and philosophical openness, preserving pure inquiry from dominant public opinions.”
Is this Penn State or State Pen?

It must be great fun being a Leftist today. You could fill in the blank below with literally anything, and people will fall over each other rushing to apologize to you.
You could put in any word you felt like in that blank. You could say trains, gasoline, hairdryers, trees. It wouldn’t matter. People will apologize to you. How sad and pathetic is that?

Whoopsie Doodle Penn- Ya’ll failed
“It’s okay to hate democrats.”
De-fund Marxist brainwashing mills masquerading as universities. Bankrupt them and send their communist professors to deliver pizzas or shovel out the manure of horse stables where they belong.

These days the odds are some graduates will go from one to the other
