Hamilton Awards Speech: “The Only True ‘Safe Space’ is Liberty and Freedom”

“The only true ‘safe space’ is liberty and freedom”: Heather Mac Donald’s rousing Hamilton Awards speech.

“Can we have a reality check here? Every American college student today, no matter his race or gender, is among the most privileged individuals in human history. Millions of Chinese students are at this very moment studying their butts off in the hope of gaining access to the intellectual resources that American students take for granted.”

These Aren’t The Justice-Involved Individuals You’re Looking For | Stately McDaniel Manor

“The only reasonable conclusion is that Progressives, who essentially control most of our institutions of “higher learning,” and who are so worried about the “rape culture” that has turned their worker’s paradises into places no rational woman would think to set foot, want to solve the problem of the rape culture by importing as many known—actually, unknown to them–rapists and other kinds of criminals as possible. What are the rapes, even the lives, of 25% and more of college women compared to Progressive ideological purity?”

College Then and Now: Letter to a Bright Young Woman | Fred On Everything

“The purpose of college was the making of cultivated men and women who would understand the world to the extent that it has proved willing to be understood. This meant the liberal arts. “Liberal” didn’t mean “lefty” or “nice.” It implied a broad grounding in languages, literature, history, the sciences, mathematics, economics, philosophy, and art and music.”

our nightmare | Fredrik deBoer

This guy is an idiot. Consider:

It’s not difficult, after all, to look at the Fortune 500 companies and note the great paucity of women and people of color in the executive ranks. This lack of diversity is clear on its face. This is an embarrassment to these institutions, and helps to demonstrate that the great American story of equal opportunity and the self-made man is a myth.

Note that he doesn’t explain (and indeed no one ever has) why diversity in and of itself is a ‘good’ to strive for. Nor does that lack of diversity demonstrate anything of the sort. Equal opportunity does not guarantee equal results. If it did, blacks would still be a minority in the NBA and NFL. For some reason idiot Leftists (sorry, I know that’s redundant) never seem to understand that.

Traditionally, both equality and diversity have been important to liberalism.

That’s just bovine feces. Traditionally, liberalism, the classical kind, was concerned about freedom. Then he proves my point:

Liberal publications devote far less ink, virtual or physical, to core issues of redistribution and worker power than they once did.

This isn’t liberalism, this is Karl Marx. This is communism/socialism. No liberalism about it.

Be scared. This guy is part of the problem in our schools. From his ‘about me’ statement:

I’m a teacher, linguist, and writer whose scholarly work concerns writing assessment, corpus linguistics, writing program administration, and higher education policy.

This is what passes for ‘scholarly work’ today. No wonder our crybully SJWs can’t handle reality.

Hall went on to ask about the source of such critiques, and the interviewer replied that much of it comes from academia.

“Well, then they should go back to school,” Hall shot back. “Academia? Now, there’s a hotbed of idiocy.”
