Can you imagine the national outrage that would ensue if a Black Lives Matter student leader was viciously mocked in a satire piece that accused him of all sorts of malicious things – from killing hookers and clubbing baby seals to jokes about their penis size and references to masturbating to Margaret Thatcher nudes?
That’s exactly what happened to University of North Carolina College Republicans Chairman Frank Pray recently, and he’s showing the world what real class is in the face of such lampooning.
He’s not marching around campus demanding administrators cancel classes to hold discussions about “tolerance and inclusion,” or starting a Tumblr to bemoan his plight. On his personal Facebook page he simply noted “if you stand for conservatism on your campus this is what they will do to you. Be warned. Stand strong.”
But sometimes, it’s hard for students to stand strong.
Take UCLA student Caterina Kachadoorian, who is being tormented by peers for writing an op-ed in the campus newspaper that questioned the overreaction to a frat party in which students dressed like Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. The party was decried as racist and prompted a massive campus protest and demands for justice for “black Bruins.”
Kachadoorian, a freshman, claims one African Student Union protester spit on her – “the last straw” that convinced her to write an op-ed taking the group to task.
After her column ran, Kachadoorian began to receive “an immense amount of hate, claiming that I am anti-black, a white supremacist, a racist, dumb” and so on, Kachadoorian told The College Fix and other journalists in an email Monday.
Now she’s a pariah and “slightly afraid to go to school” Tuesday morning, for fear that “someone will recognize me and start instigating something,” she said in her email.
This young lady does not deserve to be bullied, intimidated and harassed for defending common sense. Where is her safe space?
In reality, only liberal, leftist voices are protected and championed, and campus leaders often turn a blind eye to the attacks against students with unpopular views.
