Professor: College Republicans’ First Amendment Rights ‘Intensely Hurtful’ to Students

A professor at Chico State (CSU, Chico) referred to President Donald Trump and the Republican Party as “poison,” and suggested that she and other professors use the “immense privilege” they have as “tenured faculty” to protect students who are offended by their classmates exercising their First Amendment rights. The instructor told Breitbart News that the First Amendment allowing the school’s College Republicans to “voice their support for Trump and — the Republican Party” is “intensely hurtful” to many students on campus.

The instructor had been responding to Breitbart News’ request for comment regarding a recent tweet in which Briggs referred to President Trump and Republicans as “poison,” urging her colleagues to “protect” students who become offended after hearing conservative students vocalize their support for President Trump ahead of the 2020 Election due to the First Amendment.

Briggs, who is a tenured faculty member in the Department of Public Health & Health Services Administration at CSU, Chico, had been reacting to “the recent ruckus on campus,” which she says is only “going to get bigger with the looming election.”

The “ruckus” appears to be in reference to recent clashes between leftist students and the school’s College Republicans group, whose chapter president was seen on video being attacked by an outraged student protester who took his sign and struck him in the face with it.

Following the incident, Briggs declared that “it is possible to uphold 1st Amendment Speech rights AND condemn, scold, and disagree with messages that you don’t agree with,” in an apparent defense of censuring conservative students for their so-called poisonous views.

Amazing. People who are supposed to be teachers and authority figures are teaching these young people to be big crybabies.

THAT is the poison.

"The discord and meanness exemplified by their continued behavior is poison to the masses.”

“The remedy would be to stop being so toxic. Stop being hurtful and incendiary to wide swaths of the population,”

Someone please tweet this right back at stupid @ChicoSexProf.

Funny how these liberals complain about “white privilege” and accuse whites of using it to harm others. Yet, she claims that, as professors with tenure, they wield “immense privilege” and should use it to harm others and promote their agenda. That is EXACTLY the problem with Democrats. It’s fine for them to do whatever they want but anyone else who does it is a “hater” or “against them”.

Get rid of tenure. This needs to be eliminated just like term limits should be instituted in Congress. This would eliminate the indoctrination and make teachers / professors to teach facts.

No wonder the kids in college are acting like intellectually programmed zombies who are unable to think for themselves.
