The shame of Brown University (UPDATED)

UPDATE: Brown Shirts at Brown U? by Mona Charen;  "These outrages get noticed in the conservative press and largely ignored by others. It goes without saying that such tolerance for intolerance would not prevail if conservative students behaved this way toward, say, an advocate of same-sex marriage.

"Members of the press indulge left-wing students, imagining that their hearts are in the right place even if their heads are a little hot."....

Self-styled “activists” such as those at Brown (along with Al Sharpton, would-be mayor Bill de Blasio, and the federal judge who ruled “stop and frisk” unconstitutional) claim to speak for the poor and minorities. But who speaks for the majority of law-abiding blacks and Hispanics bullied and harmed by criminals in their housing projects and neighborhoods? As Heather Mac Donald of City Journal points out, “the per-capita rate of shooting in Brownsville, Brooklyn, is 81 times higher than in Bay Ridge, which explains why the stop rate in Brownsville is 15 times higher.”

[NYPD commissioner] Ray Kelly Was Booed off the Stage at Brown University    "...Kelly, who is not very well-loved in some circles for his support and implementation of "stop-and-frisk" law enforcement tactics, was supposed to give a lecture on "Proactive Policing in America's Biggest City" for the school's Taubman Center for Public Policy and American Institutions." ...

 

Welcome to your modern American college campus  "Where the biggest mouths — almost always left-wing — shout down and shut down voices they don’t like."

Brown Prof recalls when a real fascist came to campus, calls Ray Kelly shout down “a shameful day”    "The completely politicized hyperbole by those at Brown — including many faculty members — who supported shutting Kelly down says a lot about the difference between campuses then and now.

And how campuses have become that which they purport to oppose."

 

But another Brown Prof apologizes for inviting Ray Kelly  Shameful and cowardly. “ 'especially to my black students and Latino brothers and sisters.” Also, asked for list of who not to invite in future, but says was “tongue in cheek” request."

Brown University Does Damage Control Following Disgraceful Protest  "Sad day when Brown stifles free speech — no matter who is exercising it; no matter what their point of view may be."
