American college campuses are on the forefront of the new fascism. It’s vicious, ugly and frightening. Americans better get ready for what’s coming. They aren’t just coming for Robert Spencer, my colleagues and me, they are coming for you. This tactic of filling a room with thugs and goons and immediately staging a walkout is now standard operating procedure.
Stanford stands down as students disrupt conservative speech

Student protesters staged a walk-out during a speech Tuesday night at Stanford University featuring Robert Spencer, the director of Jihad Watch.
Although an overflow crowd was positioned outside the auditorium in hopes of gaining access, administrators did not allow them to take the seats vacated by the protesters despite repeated appeals from Spencer.Protesters staged a walk-out during Robert Spencer’s Tuesday night appearance at Stanford University, leaving most of the auditorium empty, even as overflow crowds were denied entry.
Spencer is the current director of Jihad Watch, an organization founded by David Horowitz, who was also recently protested during a lecture at the University of Houston. The two both take a critical approach to the Islamic religion, with recent talks discussing the supposed “terror network” on college campuses.
“The idea that ideas are to be rejected on the basis of whether they are acceptable to various elites—that’s just the opposite of what free discourse really is.”
According to a video of the event, dozens of students proceeded to stand up and leave shortly after Spencer’s speech started, taking several minutes to exit the venue, during which time one of the protesters kicked a microphone that had fallen to the floor during the disruption.

“The idea that ideas are to be rejected on the basis of whether they are acceptable to various elites—that’s just the opposite of what free discourse really is. And so these Stanford people who just left are actually behaving in a way that’s completely in opposition to what a university ought to be,” Spencer remarked as the protesters exited the auditorium, later asking administrators to allow the overflow crowd outside to occupy the vacated seats.
“I do hope that the Stanford administrators will let some of the people who wanted to come in get in now. Can we make that happen?” he asked, though his efforts ultimately proved futile as he rebuked the administration at the end of his lecture for failing to fulfill his request.
“They said this afternoon that they would not prevent people from disrupting this event, and they did not allow people to come in who wanted to come in afterward when we specifically requested that repeatedly,” he commented.
FULL VIDEO: Robert Spencer confronts student fascists at Stanford University
By Robert Spencer, November 15, 2017:
Here is video of the full event at Stanford on Tuesday night, including the walkout staged by Stanford’s fascist community, courtesy Very Fake News. Stanford officials prevented the Young America’s Foundation from streaming the event or even filming it at all. Clearly they knew what was in the offing and did not want the streaming to reveal the egregious behavior of Stanford students before the world.
This is not a righteous protest. This was a concerted effort on the part of Stanford officials and hard-Left student activists to prevent as many people as possible from hearing me: before the walkout, the Stanford Daily conducted a days-long defamation campaign, full of false accusations about me and my work — not only from students, but from Stanford faculty and administrators. After the walkout, Stanford officials refused repeated requests to open the doors to students who had wanted to attend but couldn’t get in.
If Stanford were actually a university where ideas were accepted or dismissed on their merits or lack thereof, Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne and Provost Persis Drell would resign in disgrace over this episode. Instead, they will probably get awards.
Stanford administrators and students made a huge mistake — one that they do not realize, but will become unmistakable to them before too long. Find out why all this happened, and how dangerous their path really is, in Confessions of an Islamophobe. Preorder your copy here now.

Does anybody need any further demonstration that a college education is way, way over-rated?

conservatives watched NFL , were partying while Left/Liberal pro-jihadis were taking over schools and colleges. where is the pushback ? How many Lawsuits have been filed for subverting 1st amendment rights ?
But we must thank this Airlines that decided to use the Law to shut this jihadi down http://tinyurl.com/y782l6r8
Left/Jihadis took over while infidels are clueless and disunited. Unite,fund, support, inform, Organise and resist . Or you’ll end up in a Islamic hellhole.

The pro-jihadis you speak of are just a group of Soros street-puppets, who are being paid to disrupt free speech at the university level. They are using an Islamic threat as a scare tool to steer people into useful political positions, which have nothing to do with Islam, about which, many of them have no knowledge, whatsoever. Other extreme leftist groups are using other scare tactic tools, in other areas, to promote the same ends. Fabianism started using the principles of gradualist takeover, one-hundred years ago, when there was no NFL and continue today, as Progressives, promoting one-world government socialism…

Bottom line conservatives are not organised as well as Left/liberal pro-jihadis are . That is what matters. when you do not fightback , they take more territory.

My grandfather, Joe Y. Field went to Stanford and was the roommate and football teammate of Herbert Hoover. They would both be spinning in their graves if they could see the depths of progressive insanity to which their old Alma-Mater has descended. My grandfather is the last guy standing on the left. This pic was taken at a reunion of the football team after Hoover became president.

Stanford U Developing Islamic Courses for Secondary Schools
Stanford University is being used to proselytize for Islam through the Sohaib and Sara Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies.
The director of the Abbasi Program at Stanford, Robert Crews[one of the professors who denounced Robert Spencer in writting], said several years ago:
“African-Americans are subjected to legal state violence and massive incarceration.” Later, he described American foreign policy as “The fetishistic abuse of brown and black, Arab and African bodies” and referred to “Latinos” being “targeted in . . . operations.” After stating his intention to “focus first on the American context and its relationship to global militancy,” Crews detailed an extensive list of grievances against the U.S., including “widespread torture,” “Abu Ghraib,” “Guantanamo,” “solitary confinement,” “black sites,” “war crimes,” “the military justice system,” and “films like American Sniper, Lone Survivor, Zero Dark Thirty.”
Turning briefly to the subject at hand, Crews expressed his displeasure not with the perpetrators of the Paris attacks, but with the Western response, which he ascribed to anti-Muslim bigotry and media manipulation:
The media presents [sic] all the values of Western civilization under vicious assault by the forces of barbarism, savagery, and unreason. Citizens everywhere identified with the slogan “Je Suis Charlie Hebdo.” Civilization against the humorless and thin-skinned Muslims who fail to accept the conventions of modern times, citizenship among them. What was the incidence which demanded the presence of global elites? It was perfect for the global media stage.
Of the attack’s victims or the savagery of mass murder, he said nothing.

Quite obvious, that a lot of so-called students had a full frontal
lobotomy. Maybe that is the preferred operation, rather than a
clitorectomy, as it can be performed on males and females alike or whatever passes as male and female in this lot.

Many of the people doing these protests are not students and anything but spontaneous. They are paid street-puppets, in an organised uprising.

This leftward tilt of universities has been going on since the early ’60s during the many protests over the Vietnam War and engineered by the Students for a Democratic Society, or SDS. Search for their manifesto called the “Port Huron Statement” for a better understanding. In it their stated goal is assuming control of universities and the Democrat party which they term “the loci of power”.

It started much earlier than the sixties’. The forerunners of today’s Progressive power movement originated, over one-hundred years ago as the Fabian Socialist movement, in England. One of their chief goals, back then, was to take over the education system and the United States was one of their primary targets…

How could the ‘elite be so STUPID???
They will be the first to go by the very people they are clamoring nonsense for. But I understand their HATRED of this country is what is really driving them. They would love to see America in a HEAP of ash.
And they don’t care if they go with it as long as they know you’ll be gone too. So you can see they have MENTAL ILLNESS and they should be NO WHERE near the controls.
Or you’ll end up like that German co-pilot who locked the Captain out and drove the plane into the ground taking 400+ people with him.

Well here we are in the 21st century, and fascism is back in style, just like in 1930’s Germany. These coward professors were the same protesters from the 60’s and they won’t stop until they get some of their student pawns killed, just like they did at Kent State. Until we end tenure at College’s and Universities in America, we will continue to have them twisting the minds of our youth. This is what happened in Russia and in Germany.
