Definitely a free speech victory, and a lot of people need 'qualified immunity'

shoved up their ass.
His apparent good standing at the school changed dramatically when he participated in a discussion of the treatment of childhood gender dysphoria at an event in October 2017 sponsored by a conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation. He expressed his reservations with some treatments and his public comments were reported back to his colleagues.

Dr. Josephson argued that children are not mature enough to make such major, permanent decisions and that 80-95 percent of children claiming gender dysphoria eventually accept their biological sex over time without such treatment.

Those views are widely shared by others and have been cited as the basis for states adopting bans on conversion treatments for young children.

His commentary triggered a backlash at the school, which led to a decision not to renew his contract. When sued, the school invoked the Eleventh Amendment and claimed qualified immunity. The district court correctly rejected that claim and the Sixth Circuit just affirmed that denial.
It's bad enough when a cop commits some awful act and gets away with it because qualified immunity; now we've had city officials and school clowns claiming that gets them off the hook for whatever they do because- in this case- "We're a public university, so we're public officials!", which is bullshit.  So is "But that speech is not protected!"

Over in Britain,

"We can't do something to praise Britain for helping stop slavery, we want Britain considered Evil(because anything else will upset the BLM types)!"
Would make one hell of a movie, except Hollywood wouldn't touch it either.

"I say you're guilty of not using the pronoun I prefer so

you belong in jail!"
Well, asshat, you picked someone who already has good lawyers and the money to pay them, so I don't think this is going to work.

And, because the actual play doesn't matter,

they have a woman playing the King, and then she drops out because disability groups insist "You have to find an actor with that handicap to play him or we shall be troublesome!"

Ain't it just wonderful?

And the rapists are still shielding behind

"I'm trans!"
A male inmate who was reportedly instructed to identify as “transgender” by prison officials allegedly raped a female inmate at a New York City correctional facility on Rikers Island, according to a new lawsuit.

As Insty said, 'Anthropology used to be a science.'

A “Let’s Talk about Sex Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology” panel has been canceled by the American Anthropological Association and the Canadian Anthropology Society, which stated the topic would cause too much “harm.”

“This decision was based on extensive consultation and was reached in the spirit of respect for our values, the safety and dignity of our members, and the scientific integrity of the program,” states a Sept. 25 letter to the panelists from the two groups.
Translation of the second paragraph: "YOU SAID 'SEX' IS IMPORTANT AND BIOLOGICAL FACT!!  YOU TRIGGERED PEOPLE!!  AWAY WITH YOU!!"

Want proof?
The canceled scholars were set to focus on the fact that while “it has become increasingly common in anthropology and public life to substitute ‘sex’ with ‘gender,’ there are multiple domains of research in which biological sex remains irreplaceably relevant to anthropological analysis,” according to the panel’s description.

However in their letter scrubbing the presentation, the two groups stated the “reason the session deserved further scrutiny was that the ideas were advanced in such a way as to cause harm to members represented by the Trans and LGBTQI of the anthropological community as well as the community at large.”
"YOU HURT FEELINGS!  AWAY WITH YOU!!"

One more group of idiots I'm going to bitch about

In the broadest lens, the biggest problem with wanting to “cure” blindness is that it reinforces a moral superiority of sorts by those without disabilities over those who are disabled. Although not confronted nearly as often as racism and sexism, systemic ableism is pervasive through all parts of society.

The fact of the matter is that the majority of abled people view disability as a failure of the human condition; as such, people with disabilities should be mourned and pitied. More pointedly, as MrBeast stated in his video’s thumbnail, disabilities should be eradicated — cured.
...
If someone “cured” deafness, what would happen to the people? Deaf culture is real. The culture would fade away because there’d be no reason for sign language to exist and the experiences derived from it. …

Disabilities need no cure. What truly needs curing is society’s proclivity to view the disability community as little more than real-life characters from a Tod Browning film. Disabled people are not freaks. Disability isn’t a bad word. You can learn a lot from us.
We already know two things: blindness and deafness really are disabilities, and you're a fucking idiot who thinks that helping heal those problems is bad.

A few years back there was an article about a lesbian couple, both deaf, who wanted a child.  But they specifically wanted a deaf child, 'so it would grow up in and be fully a part of deaf culture.'  Found a deaf sperm donor to try with.  No, I don't know if it worked.  I hope it didn't, because it's a couple of idiots wanting to create a disabled child, and if they got a kid who wasn't deaf, what kind of like was it going to have with these two for parents?  "We love you, but we really wanted you to be deaf like us."

Wonder when the cops will get armbands with a suitable symbol on it, to say "We should have surrendered to the Nazis

and saved some time getting here."

AND they tried to extort money, to 'downgrade his crime'.

John Peel must be spinning in his grave so fast...

I think he's right, this is predatory

"You won't have sex with a lesbian who has a dick?  You transphobe, you don't belong in public!"  At the least you've got someone with a mental problem who doesn't/won't understand limits; at most it's "I can make women have sex with me!  And if they don't I can ruin them!"

And there's been a bunch of cases reported, mostly women pushed into having sex with a 'trans woman' with a penis because "Am I not being transphobic if I don't?"  Which is bullshit, but when you've got a lot of yourself tied up in your PC self-image, you can be manipulated that way.  There's also been the other way: "I'm a woman, why won't you date me?  Or have sex with me?"

"Because I don't date or sleep with people with a dick."
"You hater!  You transphobe!"  Etc.

Sooner or later someone's going to wind up dead over this crap(if it hasn't happened already).

Can you say 'Chickenshit administrators'? Throw in 'Cowardice' while you're at it.

A woman who lived through kidnapping and sexual slavery at the hands of ISIS had an event cancelled by a Canadian school board due to fears of "Islamophobia."

Twenty-eight-year-old Nadia Murad was scheduled to visit with students from 600 different schools to speak about her upcoming book, "The Last Girl: My Story Of Captivity," which documents the horrific treatment she suffered from ISIS but was told by the Toronto School District that her event could not be held because it could "foster Islamophobia", according to the Telegraph.

"It doesn't matter if it's true, it might upset someone!"  Congratulations for bowing down to the islamists, Fisher.  I bet you'd be one of the people refusing to talk about a muslim rape gang because "I might be seen as racist!"

Fisher did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Of course not, that would require not being a coward.

Why yes, it does sound exactly like that

“All proposed names are either too generic, or too similar to previous well-known viruses, or contain an Arabic number. This makes it hard to remember or recognize, leading to a tendency among the general population and scientists alike to use a shorthand term such as ‘Wuhan coronavirus’ or ‘Wuhan pneumonia.’ This has, in fact, been the case since it was named 2019-nCoV. This practice would, however, stigmatize and insult the people in Wuhan, who are still suffering from the outbreak.”

Gee, doesn’t that sound like the talking points that came out of every single Democrat and their mouthpieces in the mainstream media around that time? Also, for a virologist to argue that a scientific name should be changed because “it’s too hard for the general population to remember all those numbers” is pretty unheard of.
But for a bunch of virtue-signaling Professional Journalists, not a surprise.  At all.

A: If the US was the racist hellhole these asshats keep insisting, they would not have to fake 'hate crimes'

A Black student was reportedly responsible for racist graffiti discovered at Albion College in Michigan. According to MLive, on April 2, slogans such as “KKK,” “White Power,” and “Die N****rs Please!” were discovered in Mitchell Towers, a residence hall.

As a result of the messages, hundreds of students boycotted class and marched on campus for three consecutive days.
But who cares if it's fake!
However, the college insisted that “there is a significant history of racial pain and trauma on campus and we are taking action to repair our community.”

So: it's a fake incident to stir things up, but "Even though this is fake, we're going to use it to browbeat people into being- or at least acting- more woke!"

"...these collectivist pukes are more race-obsessed than the Nazi Gauleiter of 1930's Lower Swabia"

That's a quote from the Dutchman that fits with far too many leftists.  Which the NYeffing Times is very much.  This is some of their latest bullshit:The term “people of color” is already ambiguous enough with white professors, grad students, and NAACP presidents claiming to be black. But the New York Times’ racial list, a thing reeking of Nuremberg and Goebbels, put the paper in charge of deciding who is a person of color by marking them with yellow. It’s a good thing no notorious racist ideology had the same idea.

(The Times had previously published a list of members of Congress who had voted against aiding Iran’s nuclear ambitions and terrorist regime by marking Jewish members in yellow.)

Like all racist Rohrsarch charts, the Times’ racial list says more about it than about America.

The Times claimed that only 112 of the 431 House of Representatives members are people of color. It lists Rep. Rashida Tlaib as a person of color, while listing Rep. Justin Amash as white.

Tlaib's parents and Amash's father came from Arab towns and neighborhoods in Israel. Amash's mother came from Syria. They both have traditional Arab names.

How is Tlaib a person of color while Amash is white?
...
As Twitter observers of the New York Times racial list noted, the paper of racial record appears to invariably list Arab Christians as white, while Muslims are described as people of color.

Crap like this is why A: People have decided the 'social distancing' and so forth

is largely bullshit, and B: lots of Experts are idiots

Well said

Daughter made a point of asking why I referred to the Wuhan Flu as, well, the Wuhan Flu - are you trying to make a point?

Yes, that it’s the Wuhan Flu, and that’s what everyone called it until there was a general agreement amongst our chattering betters that we should call it COVID-19, as if we’d always used technical scientific terms instead of colloquial names based on origin, right or wrong. I used the term because it horrified people who seem to think that the term will make dumb-bubbas go cruisin’ around lookin’ for Asian people to beat up. I use the term because China would prefer that I not to. Want more?

I remember hearing about some of this crap back in the 1980's,

it was the first time I heard of 'stigma' being more important that possibly killing people.
Now we've got idiots playing "Protect the PRC!  RACISM!!" over the Wuhan virus.

History does repeat, sometimes in the most stupid ways.

Some pigs are more equal than others

For instance, snitching on your neighbors or the church down the street is fine, but talk about a mosque violating the rules...

The Mayor of Vienna:

PC-brained chickenshit.
“On 11 July, President Jacek Majchrowski and I were invited to meet the new mayor Michael Ludwig. And there we were told that a new committee had said that the monument did not meet the artistic standards, was archaic and therefore Vienna withdrew its consent.”

In its letter to the organising committee, the authorities in Vienna, fearing that the monument may be perceived as anti-Turkish, stated that it was not an appropriate time to erect military monuments.

A proper response from the Poles:

To every woke, oversensitive, whiny bitch out there:

Get the hell over yourself.

You get out of school and into the real world, you're in for some BIG surprises.

This. Is. CNN.

CNN covered the January controversy surrounding Nick Sandmann and his fellow Covington Catholic School students 23 times, yet thus far hasn’t covered footage of children at a Philadelphia Islamic center reading poetry about chopping off heads. 

Video from last month of kids at the Philadelphia Muslim American Society (MAS) Islamic Center showed them reading about chopping off heads and subjecting the enemies of Allah to “eternal torture.”
What, anyone actually thinks CNN is a news bureau or something?
