Kansas State has condemned a student for making a crude joke, and is now reviewing their options, in another chilling development for free speech.

Here is the crude joke in question.

Crude jokes like this may be insensitive and in very poor taste, but in America, cracking down on crude jokes invalidates the spirit of the First Amendment, which enshrined our natural right to freedom of expression into law.

The crude joke does not appear to contain any threats of violence or threats of terrorism, unlike what we have been seeing from antifa and Black Lives Matter. It is a grave mistake for Kansas State to attempt a crackdown on jokes of this nature, and attempt to become the speech and thought police.

 

Some black Americans are standing by Jaden McNeil and repudiating the college’s claims of racism and bigotry.

Ironically, those students upset with McNeil’s joke are now sending him specific direct threats of violence, which is a form of speech that is actually illegal.

As this raging moral panic ensues over a crude joke, on the other side of the Atlantic, a Cambridge University professor is being promoted after tweeting “White Lives Don’t Matter” and “Abolish Whiteness.”

A Cambridge University lecturer was given her full professorship merely hours after sparking a social media firestorm over controversial anti-white comments, where she received a full internet-wide backlash over her remarks.

Priyamvada Gopal unleashed the fury of social media after doubling down on her anti-white comments–that were defended by Cambridge University as “freedom of expression,” despite sacking a center-right researcher, barely a year ago, for his problematic views.

The main tweet, causing the blowback, which read, “I’ll say it again. White Lives Don’t Matter. As white lives,” was reportedly deleted by Twitter.

Gopal went onto succinctly add, “abolish whiteness,” to the adjoining main tweet. She received thousands of engagements, harassing direct messages and emails following her inflammatory posts. [National File]
