Citing information from local law enforcement, Dartmouth administrators required organizers to move the event to an exclusively online platform for reasons of security and safety. In January of 2022, administrators at Dartmouth College decided to unilaterally cancel the live event appearance of independent journalist, Andy Ngo and libertarian activist, Gabriel Nadales, focused on discussing the topic of left-wing violence in the United States, after repeated threats of violence from the far-Left communist group Antifa. In 2019, at a Young America Foundation talk at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, conservative political commentator Michael Knowles, was assaulted by a group of ‘trans’ students who threw a bottle of mystery liquid at his face and eyes during his highly controversial speech titled, “Men Are Not Women.” In 2017, in an effort to phase out the “oppressive” gender binary, the University of Nebraska-Omaha provided students with a handy guide to “queer and trans community language.” The glossary includes a "Gender Unicorn" worksheet that students can use to determine exactly where they fit on the gender-identity spectrum. In, October of 2021, outraged students at Oberlin College took to social media to complain about feeling existentially threatened by the ‘cis-hetero-normative’ white male HVAC workers who entered their dormitories to fix their heaters. In March of 2017, at Middlebury College, professor Allison Stanger was hospitalized for whiplash after an angry student protestor yanked on the back of her hair as she and controversial speaker, Charles Murray, author of The Bell Curve, fled to her car after being rushed by a violent group of student protestors. For his unorthodox teaching methods and use of his bike-lock-of-tolerance to ‘open minds,’ Clanton garnered a mere 3-year probation sentence after 4 separate felony assault charges for that single day. ![]() In April of 2018, Eric Clanton, professor of ethics at Diablo State Community College in California, was recorded on camera clad in an all-black uniform and black ski-mask, assaulting 7 different people with a U-shaped bike-lock, leaving one of his victims with a major laceration in his head requiring 5 staples. Ī year prior, in 2016, at the University of Cape Town, a group of activist protestors known as the ‘UCT Trans Collective,’ stormed and disrupted a UCT art exhibit dedicated to the anti-colonialist ‘Rhodes Must Fall’ initiative, posing naked and smearing red paint all over both themselves and the anti-colonial artwork on account of the exhibit’s excessively ‘cis-white-hetero-normative’ nature and its failure to explicitly include supposedly marginalized ‘trans’ voices. Brett and Heather never returned to campus that day and would later win a $500,000 settlement against Evergreen. ![]() ![]() Later that same day, after having temporarily left the campus for reasons unrelated, campus police cautioned Brett that gangs of students were now roving the campus brandishing baseball bats looking for both Brett and his wife, fellow professor, Heather Heyring. Failing to go along with this new overtly racist initiative and openly speaking out against it, Weinstein inadvertently garnered the attention and ire of the student mob hellbent on establishing this new campus precedent. This year, however, the minority students had decided that it would now be all of the white students and faculty exclusively who would be ‘strongly encouraged’ to leave campus for the entire day instead. In Spring of 2017, professor of evolutionary biology, Brett Weinstein, a Jewish-American and life-long liberal, found himself pinned against a hallway wall at Evergreen State College, cornered by a crazed mob of shouting students calling him a racist for failing to leave campus during Evergreen’s annual ‘Day of Absence.’ In years past, the ‘Day of Absence’ had been a day in which ethnic minority students at Evergreen would voluntarily leave for the day in order to demonstrate the social impact of their felt absence on campus.
