Quoting verbatim someone's public comments, and public graffiti, is now "slander"
"bullying" and "violence," apparently.
At least on campus.
Several faculty members at Pitzer College recently discussed launching an “investigation” of a student paper for accurately reporting a student’s public comments about “cultural appropriation.”
These comments here, about the chest-crushing oppression of seeing white people wearing big hooped earrings.
Professors and administrators at the Claremont Colleges took to public Facebook posts to vent their frustrations, proposing free speech limits on campus and an “investigation” to shut down the conservative student journal.
Because that’s what grown-ups do now. At least on campus.
“We have a serious problem with the Claremont Independent bullying young women of colour and illegally posting their emails, exposing them to violence,” Suyapa Portillo, an Assistant Professor of Chicano-Latino Studies at Pitzer College, recently posted to her public Facebook page.
Quoting verbatim someone’s public comments, directed at the entire campus via Student Talk listserv and sprayed onto a wall, is now “bullying” and “violence,” apparently. At least on campus.
“This is dangerous, irresponsible slander and [is] unacceptable. The minute one of our women of colour students feels unsafe on campus ALL of our students of colour and faculty of colour are unsafe. #STOPBullying #TitleIX #ShutItDown #StopHate.”
“Shut it down,” she hashtags, seated proudly on a pile of non sequitur. Because accurate and undisputed quoting is, via some unspecified mental contortion, now to be regarded as slanderous and hateful, and something to be stopped.
At least on campus.
