Welcome back to class, students! I am Mike Adams your
criminology professor here at UNC-Wilmington. Before we get started with
the course I need to address an issue that is causing problems here at
UNCW and in higher education all across the country. I am talking about
the growing minority of students who believe they have a right to be
free from being offended. If we don’t reverse this dangerous trend in
our society there will soon be a majority of young people who will need
to walk around in plastic bubble suits to protect them in the event that
they come into contact with a dissenting viewpoint. That mentality is
unworthy of an American. It’s hardly worthy of a Frenchman.
Let’s
get something straight right now. You have no right to be unoffended.
You have a right to be offended with regularity. It is the price you pay
for living in a free society. If you don’t understand that you are
confused and dangerously so. In part, I blame your high school teachers
for failing to teach you basic civics before you got your diploma. Most
of you went to the public high schools, which are a disaster. Don’t tell
me that offended you. I went to a public high school.
Of course,
your high school might not be the problem. It is entirely possible that
the main reason why so many of you are confused about free speech is
that piece of paper hanging on the wall right over there. Please turn
your attention to that ridiculous document that is framed and hanging by
the door. In fact, take a few minutes to read it before you leave class
today. It is our campus speech code. It specifically says that there is
a requirement that everyone must only engage in discourse that is
“respectful.” That assertion is as ludicrous as it is illegal. I plan to
have that thing ripped down from every classroom on campus before I
retire.
One of my grandfathers served in World War I. My
step-grandfather served in World War II. My sixth great grandfather
enlisted in the American Revolution when he was only thirteen. These
great men did not fight so we could simply relinquish our rights to the
enemy within our borders. That enemy is the Marxists who run our public
universities. If you are a Marxist and I just offended you, well, that’s
tough. I guess they don’t make communists like they used to.
Of
course, this ban on “disrespectful” speech is really only illusory. The
university that created these speech restrictions then turns around and
sponsors plays like The Vagina Monologues, which is loaded with
profanity including the c-word – the most offensive and disrespectful
word a person could ever possibly apply to a woman. It is pure,
unadulterated hypocrisy.
So, the university position can be
roughly summarized as follows: Public university administrators have a
First Amendment right to use disrespectful profanity but public
university students do not. This turns the First Amendment on its head.
The university has its free speech analysis completely backwards. And
that’s why they need to be sued.
Before we go, let us take a few
minutes to look at the last page of your syllabus where I explain the
importance of coming to class on time, turning off your cell phone, and
refraining from talking during lectures. In that section, I explain that
each of you has God-given talents and that your Creator endowed you
with a purpose in life that is thwarted when you develop these bad
habits.
Unbelievably, a student once complained to the Department
chairwoman that my mention of God and a Creator was a violation of
Separation of Church and State. Let me be as clear as I possibly can: If
any of you actually think that my decision to paraphrase the
Declaration of Independence in the course syllabus is unconstitutional
then you suffer from severe intellectual hernia.
Indeed, it
takes hard work to become stupid enough to think the Declaration of
Independence is unconstitutional. If you agree with the student who made
that complaint then you are probably just an anti-religious zealot.
Therefore, I am going to ask you to do exactly three things and do them
in the exact order that I specify.
First, get out of my class.
You can fill out the drop slip over at James Hall. Just tell them you
don’t believe in true diversity and you want to be surrounded by people
who agree with your twisted interpretation of the Constitution simply
because they are the kind of people who will protect you from having
your beliefs challenged or your feelings hurt.
Second, withdraw
from the university. If you find that you are actually relieved because
you will no longer be in a class where your beliefs might be challenged
then you aren’t ready for college. Go get a job building houses so you
can work with some illegal aliens who will help you gain a better
appreciation of what this country has to offer.
Finally, if this
doesn’t work then I would simply ask you to get the hell out of the
country. The ever-growing thinned-skinned minority you have joined is
simply ruining life in this once-great nation. Please move to some place
like Cuba where you can enjoy the company of communists and get
excellent health care. Just hop on a leaky boat and start paddling your
way towards utopia. You will not be missed.
Professor Mike Adams is no stranger to controversy. This tenured conservative professor ruffled the feathers progressives by having the temerity to assert that marriage consists of one man and one woman.
Considering the ferocity of condemnation from his colleagues, it is a reminder that the Theory of Gender is all about intellectual totalitarianism transferred to the polity. It seems such elitists intellectuals are leaders of the idiot tribe, influencing the otherwise apathetic hoi polloi.
