No Tolerance for Politically Incorrect “WrongThink”
I was hoping that Christian colleges and universities were stronger in standing up to the mob and not worshiping at the alter of political correctness, but if Hardin-Simmons (Abilene, TX) is typical, they are no better that so-called Catholic schools.
“The views we express on social media should reflect the values and beliefs we uphold as followers of Christ. We must all use these platforms to build each other up and not tear each other down.”A female student at Hardin Simmons University in Texas, a Christian school, was subjected to disciplinary measures after making some TikTok videos about Black Lives Matter.
The school president recently explained in a video that she is no longer enrolled at the university.
We can’t share the student’s videos because they have been scrubbed from social media, but she basically questioned why an emphasis is placed on certain crimes based on the race of the people involved.
Sarah Taylor writes at The Blaze:
Christian college student questions BLM in viral video. Now college says she’s no longer enrolled — after a ‘disciplinary process.’
A young woman is no longer enrolled at a Christian college after she went viral for a video in which she criticized the Black Lives Matter movement.
After she reportedly endured a “disciplinary process,” the school says she no longer attends the university.
What are the details?
According to Campus Reform, Ashleigh Brock — a former student at Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas — created several TikTok videos in which she reportedly questioned the validity of the Black Lives Matter movement.
In one video, the outlet notes, Brock argued that there is way more outrage when a white person kills a black person than when a black person kills a white person — or even when a black person kills a fellow black person.
In another video, Brock reportedly insists that “all lives matter” — not just black lives.
“Do black lives matter?” she allegedly can be heard asking. “Yes, of course. Do white lives matter? Yes, of course. But I’m not gonna sit here and put each one in a group saying this race matters.”
McKenna Dallmeyer of Campus Reform documented a since-deleted tweet from a user targeting the student for her wrongthink, which read:
This is Ashleigh Brock, she goes to Hardin Simmons University in Abilene,Tx. There needs to be serious consequences for these actions (in actions I mean racism). Not only has she done it one time but she’s done it multiple times! #ashleighbrockisracist
In the video below, Hardin Simmons University President Eric Bruntmyer explains the school’s response to this.
Transcript via Campus Reform:
“As citizens, we have certain rights of freedom of speech in public forums, like many of the social media platforms. However, within the HSU community, that right is always linked with a responsibility as Christians, as well as an inherent responsibility in the consequences of our words and our actions,” Bruntmyer stated in reference to Brock’s posts.
“Social media can be a powerful tool. Used in the wrong way, it can have detrimental consequences, Bruntmyer continued. “The views we express on social media should reflect the values and beliefs we uphold as followers of Christ. We must all use these platforms to build each other up and not tear each other down.”
“As Christians, we are called to love one another as Christ first loved us. We must hold one another accountable to this standard. Hate speech or racist comments are completely unacceptable. We do not want to condone behavior that questions people’s worth, their value, their dignity, or their equality,” Bruntmyer said.
If I had children who were near entering college or already enrolled, I would strongly encourage them to avoid all social media platforms until they graduate.

Another positive for Ashleigh – she’ll never have to return to Abilene.

Remember when the Covington High kids were on that field trip to DC? And how they were accosted by a whacko activist who was ID’ed as Native American?
Remember how the school and the church stood up for the kids and insisted that the facts come out first before condemnation? No, I don’t recall them shielding the kids, either. The kids were thrown to the wolves.
How could you possibly match that up with Christian values?
What are these church leaders and corporate CEOs thinking?
And our political leaders like Paul “That’s Not Who We Are” Ryan plus the rest of the GOPe.

Flynn/Sullivan deadline coming up soon.
“Robert Barnes (yeah I’ve been listening to him on Viva Frei a lot) said that the US District Court’s order to Sullivan to dismiss the Flynn case only becomes a true order after fourteen days — 14 days are granted to appeal the ruling, or for the court itself to schedule an en banc rehearing. He said it’s completely normal for Sullivan to not do anything until those 14 days are up.
The Circuit Court ruling was made Wednesday, June 24th.
Those 14 days are up either tomorrow or Friday. (Do you count 14 days from the next full day or what? I dunno. I suspect you count from the next day.)
Anyway, corrupt incompetent Emmit Sullivan will be signing the order to dismiss the Flynn case either tomorrow or Friday, barring any 11th hour order from the court for an en banc rehearing.”

Each time I think the left has gone too far and think there will be a backlash, they take another step left without a backlash.
On the other hand, will this wake Hispanics the hell up about the Democrats?
[6]
“On the other hand, will this wake Hispanics the hell up about the Democrats?”
Expect some Asians to wake up.
I think it is ACA-5 which legalizes discrimination against white and Asian for college admission on behalf of black and Hispanic applicants. This is a hot button issue for upwardly mobile Asian parents.

The deadline for “RealID” on domestic flights has been extended for a year.
If you (like us in CA) live in a state that had slipped up on the RealID program, you would have had to use a passport to fly domestic. But now we can all relax for a while longer.

Several thoughts:
1. Today’s reality seems like a bad dream. They keep pushing the the envelope and anyone who dares to speak out is deemed a “bigot”
2. Didn’t Eric Bruntmyer and Hardin-Simmons “crucify” this young woman in the name of Jesus Christ?
3. If the Democrats capture the presidency and the senate, the US becomes Kalifornia

” Had Bruntmyer been living about 2,000 years ago, he may well have been part of a crowd shouting “Crucify Him!” ”
To be more accurate Bruntmyer would be Pontius Pilate. He is in fact the `governor` of his fiefdom is he not?
As to the advice of — “If I had children who were near entering college or already enrolled, I would strongly encourage them to avoid all social media platforms until they graduate.” — is the wrong advice. Exactly the opposite is required. —
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? … ” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I’ll be blunt there are only 4 disciplines in higher education worth a shit:
* IT
* Chemistry
* Engineering
* Accounting
All the rest that in ages past might have been worthwhile are not any longer. They have been taken over by the communists and are nothing but indoctrination centers. Notice I did not include math on the list. That is because it too has been subsumed by the communist manifesto.
Fact one of the few pigeon holes of occupations where having a PhD increases salary is in education. That alone should tell you something. In STEM having a PhD is an economic waste of time.

From a man much wiser than I. Penned in 2015, but it portrays the nut of our issues today —
[18]
the racist hypocrisy of the Left was always there for anyone who cared to look. But now they are SHOUTING their racist hypocrisy and demanding that everyone bow down before it.
Then again, consider that this pretzel “logic” is still considered GOLDEN TRUTH by the Left:
“In order to get beyond racism, we must first take account of race. There is no other way. And in order to treat some persons equally, we must treat them differently.”
– Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, 1978

on a lighter note:
++++++++++++++++
The Washington Foreskins.
I think all sports fans and most everybody else will get a kick out of this letter written to the Chicago Tribune. No matter which side you are on in the matter of renaming the Washington Redskins, this guy is hilarious…
This is an e-mail sent to Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune after an article he published concerning a name change for the Washington Redskins.
Dear Mr. Page: I agree with our Native American population. I am highly jilted by the racially charged name of the Washington Redskins. One might argue that to name a professional football team after Native Americans would exalt them as fine warriors, but nay, nay. We must be careful not to offend, and in the spirit of political correctness and courtesy, we must move forward.
Let’s ditch the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Indians. If your shorts are in a wad because of the reference the name Redskins makes to skin color, then we need to get rid of the Cleveland Browns.
The Carolina Panthers obviously were named to keep the memory of militant Blacks from the 60’s alive. Gone. It’s offensive to us white folk.
The New York Yankees offend the Southern population. Do you see a team named for the Confederacy? No! There is no room for any reference to that tragic war that cost this country so many young men’s lives. I am also offended by the blatant references to the Catholic religion among our sports team names. Totally inappropriate to have the New Orleans Saints, the Los Angeles Angels or the San Diego Padres.
Then there are the team names that glorify criminals who raped and pillaged. We are talking about the horrible Oakland Raiders, the Minnesota Vikings, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Pittsburgh Pirates!
Now, let us address those teams that clearly send the wrong message to our children. The San Diego Chargers promote irresponsible fighting or even spending habits. Wrong message to our children.
The New York Giants and the San Francisco Giants promote obesity, a growing childhood epidemic. Wrong message to our children. The Cincinnati Reds promote downers/barbiturates. Wrong message to our children.
The Milwaukee Brewers. Well that goes without saying. Wrong message to our children.
So, there you go. We need to support any legislation that comes out to rectify this travesty, because the government will likely become involved with this issue, as they should. Just the kind of thing the do-nothing Congress loves.
As a die-hard Oregon State fan, my wife and I, with all of this in mind, suggest it might also make some sense to change the name of the Oregon State women’s athletic teams to something other than “the Beavers (especially when they play Southern California. Do we really want the Trojans sticking it to the Beavers???
I always love your articles and I generally agree with them. As for the Redskins name I would suggest they change the name to the “Foreskins” to better represent their community, paying tribute to the dick heads in Washington DC.
[21]
20,
Cleanup on Keyboard! Aisle 6! Foreskins indeed.
[22]
As I have written before, Central Michigan has the Chippewas nickname and Eastern Michigan used to be the Hurons. About 30 years ago the NCAA decided these were racissst and told the schools to pick new names. Neither tribe wanted the school to drop the nickname, but leftist minds persisted at Eastern so they became the Eagles, the most common nickname among colleges. The pointy-headed liberals basically said, “what do a bunch of dumb Indians know about what offends them.
The Chippewa tribe has enjoyed a long, successful relationship with CMU. Together the school leaders and the tribe elders convinced the NCAA to let the school keep the name.
[23]
17, Truth bomb!
20, hilarious
[24]
#17 was indeed a huge truth bomb…and one that cannot be discussed in public any more, even though the issues within are EXACTLY what the country should be talking about.
The working people of America, regardless of race, are being told they must pay more and more for those who won’t work.
And entire race (Caucasions) is being told they must debase themselves for the sins of somebody else’s ancestors.
Another race (Asians) is being told they just work too hard and/or are too smart…so fewer of them will be permitted to attend college.
A once proud people (Americans) are being told they must sit (or kneel) quietly while their 1st, 2nd and 4th Amendment Rights are stripped from.
And so on.
So what do all the people being told that THEIR lives don’t matter, do? They talk and plan amongst themselves, as resentment grows…but it grows beneath the surface.
My motto has always been: “I don’t care who you are, or what you do, as long as it doesn’t negatively affect me, my family, my community or my country.” The Leftists and their useful idiots are forcing me, and millions like me, to care…and they won’t like result.

Ghost,
They already have the papers, they are just going thru the motions of making it look legal so they don’t end up in jail themselves…. NY State has access to Trumps State return already. A good forensic acct can back into a fair approximation of his federal from that alone.
[29]
I guess that was kinda my point…. they already have them, just need the “cover” to reveal what they tell. My guess is a very wealthy guy that has done what every other tax paying ( not in bed with the Ukraine or China ) has done. Blurred a few numbers here and there.
[30]
From what I have seen of the ruling, Trump can still delay the release of the info until after the election, which is what he wanted anyway.

The more I think about it ( assuming the rule of law is even somewhat followed….) IF there is something askew in the returns it’ll be hard for any congress critter to sit on that knowledge and not divulge it.

Anyone owning tulsa area oil stock, had better sell out ASAP.

45 – It means feds have LEO authority there and State of OK does not as technical LEO matter.
As for ownership\land rights…. it could get murky but reading the treaty they ceded plenty of things to US government, including rights to occupy the land, transit the land, and take such lands as congress and potus deemed necessary so long as it didn’t interfere with their tribes or other shit at the time and they paid for it, and they also bought a whole shit ton of land in the treaty itself. So idk the whole history but possible us gov later bought up large chunks and transferred it to the state or the state bought it up etc. idk what happens but you know lawyers are rushing to OK tonight to test all kinds of theories to profit off it. I think were scotus came down is it’s very clear in the treaty about only federal law applying to the lands outlined it, however it’s unclear to me what actually remains of the original lands not sold off by them over the last 100+ years. The case at hand, the rape of the 4 year old, apparently did take place on currently head lands though so there is little question about that.
But if scotus is really saying this applies to the whole original area (off their rockers) then there are going to be a lot of people saying then this also means state has no authority to be property taxing anyone in same areas, or requiring state drivers licenses, building codes, etc,etc,etc.
idk if this is accurate but used this as my general guide to text of treaty.
