DISPATCHES FROM THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE: Fordham U. sued by Chinese immigrant student it punished for posting pro-freedom message.

The lawsuit states Tong’s decision to attend Fordham was largely due to the “university’s promise of freedom of expression and stated commitment to open exploration of challenging ideas.”

The university did not respond to multiple requests from The College Fix seeking comment.

“I will never apologize nor comply for doing nothing wrong, even if this comes at a massive personal cost,” Tong said. “I am also fighting for everyone who came to me to tell me their story of being silenced. We as a people will not back down to tyrants, and we will use this case as a precedent for those who attempt to silence us.”

The lawsuit stated that Fordham’s actions have had several consequences, arguing Tong has been “marginalized from academic life,” “treated like a criminal,” “branded as a dangerous and hateful individual” and “stigmatized by the imposition of wrongful punishment for the mere exercise of his constitutional rights which he rightfully trusted would be guaranteed by Fordham’s own policies and rules.”

As a legendary community organizer once advised his constituents, get in their faces, and punch back twice as hard.

FROM LAURA MONTGOMERY:  Under the Earthline.

 

He’s a pawn between a politician’s vengeance and his family’s safety. In a space settlement on the verge of turmoil, he’ll play to win… or die trying.

With only a slender hold on their alien world, human settlers from a marooned starship inhabit a single terraformed valley. As technology frays, as the second generation of settlers cannibalizes its past, and as the governor cancels elections again, tension grows between the city and the western farms.

One Dawe son dead, one in exile, and Thaddeus Dawe now slated to serve as a hostage for his younger brother’s crimes, Thaddeus has a task. He must locate the colony’s last terraseeder for the secret enclave another brother works to carve from the northern wilderness. But with the governor’s men harboring no love for Dawes, and First Landing’s bureaucracy and its preeminent practitioner having other plans, Thaddeus is not the only one whose life is at risk.

NOPETY NOPE. IF YOU’RE PROPERLY TRAINED IN MARXISM, YOU KNOW THERE’S ONLY EVER ONE CAUSE. AND DON’T YOU DARE SUGGEST A DIFFERENT ONE, BECAUSE THEY’LL REE AND TELL YOU TO EDUCATE YOURSELF:  It’s a Multi-Multi-Causal World.

IT’S LIKE WOKE BOOKS…   F-IW.

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW!  The Plan Ahead.

OH, COME ON. THEY’D STOPPED TEACHING IT ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO WHEN MY KIDS ATTENDED HIGH SCHOOL. INSTEAD THEY WERE TEACHING COMMUNIST CATECHISM:   Stop Teaching History In Schools – Illinois Rep.

I know. I read the books. And if you aren’t reading your kids’ books, you have no idea how bad it is.

JUST A REMINDER: I get paid based on ad revenue now, so if you wouldn’t mind whitelisting InstaPundit if you run an ad blocker that would be great. Or some people hit the PayPal donation button, which is also great.
