That attitude is why they were able to take over, Normals just said, “Screw it!” and abandoned ship.
Yup. Academic politics are the dirtiest politics because the stakes are so low for the tenured profs who engage in radical campus political actions.
It's been getting worse since the 1980s rise of politically correct Identity Politics and social justice studies on campus. A huge part of this was the fall of the Soviet Union.
It is ironic that the fall of communism in Russia resulted in the rise of a radical strain of cultural Marxism on campus here in America which grew out of the heated campus opposition Ronald Reagan who was vilified almost as much as President Trump.
Back before the fall of the Soviet Union, the Marxist Left in on campus in America was a strange mix of generally well meaning but deluded people of good will and groups of not so good revolutionaries and anarchists who wished to overthrow the US government and American society by any means necessary, especially violent ones.
The people on the good will side were typlicified by the economists and sociologists of the the “I have seen the future and it works” who were naive idealists. They are long gone as the fall of the Soviet Union exposed the evil and corruption of Communism and left them disillusioned, demoralized and discredited.
What was left of the campus Marxists were mostly 1960s radicals and revolutionaries who were under no illusions about the evils of Marxism and in fact embraced them.
The rise of these Marxist cadres on campus and the spread of their ideology over the last 35 yeas has been relentless and they have taken over the institutions and levers of power on campus. It is their passion and they have built their lives around the acquisition of power to further their neo Marxist agenda of "Hey, ho, Western Civ has got to go".
The normals were turned off the whole thing and just got out of the system and and got jobs and ceded campus life and culture to the Leftist zealots. These zealots have won control and are close to success on their destruction of the Western Culture and Civilization that they despise so much and have spent 30+ years Trying to undermine and eventually destroy.
Unfortunately, we are finding that Western Civilization is the only game in town when it comes to civilization and the fall of Western civilization equates to the end of civilization and the end to the culture that modern society. Western civ is the foundation that the success of our society is build upon.
Too bad, because we had a good long run and hate to see it go. Hope the next generation enjoys the brave new world they are deconstructing for themselves.
Why aren’t these places being sued for wrongful termination? This won’t stop until they are held accountable.
The Courts are point for the left and communism. Intellectually corrupt institution.
Take this to court, the court will add “election denial” to the short list of “not free speech.” It’ll be a form of incitement to violence.
That is a scary thought.
I haven't heard him go public with any complaints.
Republicans need to learn one thing from Democrats: sue. If they do anything or try to pass anything take it to court every time. If they fire you make them pay do not walk away.
Cry for your communists.
“Chapman University President Daniele Struppa accused Eastman of “playing a role in the tragic events in Washington D.C., that jepodized our democracy.””
oh really? How so, specifically, pray tell ?
Sheer intolerant Leftist/Stalinist/Maoist idiocy on steroids.
I cry because the same action that put Hollywood Communist on blacklists is at work against the MAGA Movement. We are being painted with a broad brush with extremist paint--a fallacy in itself. They are using the logic fallacy of composition and the guilt by association fallacy. That there was Soviet espionage at work using Hollywood to promote Marxist ideology was a fact born out by the the Venona papers. This is were the similarity ends. I am criticizing the tactic, in a kind of turning the tables, being used by today's Communists. Today's patriots of the MAGA movement are not subversives and the facts prove quite the opposite. In fact, those trying to label them as extremists, are the subversives. And if I had time, I could prove it.
There is strong indication that the violence on January 6th was inspired by similar Anti-American subversives in the ranks of the BLM, Antifa and Neo Nazis. Today's Leftnicks (a Soviet-style term I've created) are real Communists and they are using their subversive, lawless, (well engineered) tactics to paint you and me with extremist colors.
The motive of these subversives is to create a false flag against the MAGA Movement so that the broad brush of condemnation could be used on all of them. Once the lies of logical fallacies are accepted by ignorant people, then these Leftnicks--Marxists--can use the same tactics of the McCarthy era blacklists against American patriots and the entire MAGA Movement. The Cancel Culture will emerge as the monstrosity that it is on steroids. Do you understand where this is going if it is not stopped?
The check Dr. Eastman got must have been really big.
Alan Dershowitz has worked to defend many clients who were unpopular. He once defended someone who was strongly anti-semitic and got much grief for doing so. His response was that everyone in this country should have access to good legal representation.
Of course, that doesn’t happen. We all should have honest judges and good lawyers but that’s all a fairy tale.
Cancel Culture = Inquisition 2021
Repent or get destroyed.

Chapman has been an exceptional Law School where students could hear all points of view. This is almost shocking, almost.
New reality by Demo'rat decree: Challenge Trump presidency - patriotic; challenge Biden presidency - treason.
As I have said, justice has been greatly simplified: Dems say 'guilty' -> GUILTY ... Dems say 'innocent' -> INNOCENT. So easy - so accept it or else!
