From The College Fix:
SANTA BARBARA – A department of feminist studies professor has been accused of going berserk after coming across a campus prolife demonstration that used extremely graphic displays, leading a small mob of students to chant “tear down the sign” before grabbing one of the signs, storming off with it, then allegedly engaging in an altercation with a 16-year-old prolife protestor who had followed the educator to retrieve it. Feminist Studies Professor Accused of Assaulting Teenage Prolife Demonstrator
According to the article, some UCSB students are upset that "groups [of protestors] are threatening the well-being of students, yet nothing is being done. We should not feel unsafe on our own campus. These acts of shaming and violence are beyond unacceptable, and in no case have these groups warned the student body before showing such images on campus.”
I am very much opposed to the display of graphic images--they're gratuitous, and those happening to walk past the photo/poster displays may find them shocking. Children definitely shouldn't be exposed to them. Perhaps some compromise can be reached, one through which the protestors don't put these horrific images on public display. But I don't believe for even a second that the complaining UCSB students feel unsafe on their own campus. What hanky-clutching crap.
As for the prof, she appears to be hoist by her own irrational behavior. :3oops:
