Student activists want college president gone because she won’t cave to demands

Finally, a college president is standing up to the crybullies on campus.

Northern Arizona University students need a safe space after being told by President Rita Cheng that she doesn’t support them. And because of that, they want her ousted from her leadership post. And why not, that’s what social justice warriors do.

At a recent Q&A session, Cheng was asked by a sophomore student:

“How can you promote safe spaces if you don’t take action in situations of injustice such as last week when we had the preacher on campus and he was promoting hate speech against marginalized students? As well as, not speaking out against racist incidents like blackface two months ago by student workers followed by no reform and no repercussions?”

Cheng lowered the gavel and declared college to be a place to debate opposing ideas, not shelter from them:

“As a university professor, I’m not sure I have any support at all for safe space. I think that you as a student have to develop the skills to be successful in this world and that we need to provide you with the opportunity for discourse and debate and dialogue and academic inquiry, and I’m not sure that that is correlated with the notion of safe space as I’ve seen that.”

The crybullies certainly didn’t like hearing that, and so, they marched out of the meeting and ran to the media to tattle on Cheng and say she is “unfit” as a president of a university.

While Cheng said she is happy to meet with any student who disagrees, she is staying put as NAU’s president.

There must be something in the water at NAU because this is the same school where a student was deducted points for not using “gender-neutral” language in an essay. Let’s hope Cheng has a little chat with that professor to remind her about the First Amendment. It’s time these fascists are put down.
