Universities, the Unconstitutional Department of Education, the Justice Department, and the Obama Administration. Or, Alice in Wonderland Invades The Leftist Mind and Finds It Vacant?

“Obama Unleashes the Left
How the government created a federal hunting license for the far left.
By Daniel Henninger
May 7, 2014
In the U.S., the politics of the left versus the right rolls on with the predictability of traffic jams at the George Washington Bridge. It’s a lot of honking. Until now. All of a sudden, the left has hit ramming speed across a broad swath of American life—in the universities, in politics and in government. People fingered as out of line with the far left’s increasingly bizarre claims are being hit and hit hard.
Commencement-speaker bans are obligatory. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice withdrew as Rutgers’s speaker (Racism and Sexism combined! Texas Tech has issued a standing invitation for her to speak! Where’s Rutgers?—my addition) after two months of protests over Iraq, the left’s long-sought replacement for the Vietnam War. Brandeis terminated its invitation to Somali writer Hirsi Ali, whose criticisms of radical Islam violated the school’s ‘core values (Radical Islam does not? Death to homosexuals is OK? Women as property is OK? Terrorism is OK?—my addition).’
Azusa Pacific University ‘postponed’ an April speech by political scientist Charles Murray to avoid ‘hurting our faculty and students of color (How would a political scientist speaking do that?—my addition).’ Come again? It will ‘hurt’ them? Oh yes. In a recent New Republic essay, Jennie Jarvie described the rise of ‘trigger warnings’ that professors are expected to post with their courses to avoid ‘traumatizing (What would traumatize students? I would like to know! Have we become a nation of IDIOTS? Oops! Did I just traumatize some students?—my addition)’ students.
Oberlin College (An extreme Leftist College!—my addition) earlier this year proposed that its teachers ‘be aware of racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, cissexism (What is this? I looked it up! Don’t bother! It is Leftist nonsense! These people have nothing better to do!—my addition), ableism, and other issues of privilege and oppression.’ The co-chair of Oberlin’s Sexual Offense Policy Task Force (Sexual Offense Policy Task Force? Seriously! This is what they get paid for?—my addition) said last month that this part of the guide is now under revision.
I think it’s fair to say something has snapped (YES!—my addition).
Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich was driven out as CEO for donating money to support California’s Prop. 8. An online protest tried to kill Condi Rice’s appointment to the Dropbox board of directors over Internet surveillance. Incredibly, Dropbox CEO Drew Houston didn’t cave (And that is what it takes! Do not cave! Challenge them!—my addition).
Earlier this year, faculty and students held a meeting at Vassar College to discuss a particularly bitter internal battle over the school’s boycott-Israel movement. Before the meeting, an English professor announced the dialogue ‘would not be guided by cardboard notions of civility (What?—my addition).’
In the Harvard Crimson, recently, an undergraduate columnist wrote: ‘Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice (Who determines “justice?” Her?—my addition) .’ How would that work? ‘When an academic community observes research promoting or justifying oppression, it should ensure that this research does not continue.’ She explicitly cited for suppression the work of conservative Harvard government professor Harvey Mansfield (An example to work from!—my addition).
It’s obvious that the far left has decided there are no longer constraints on what it can do to anyone who disagrees with it. How did this happen? Who let the dogs out (Who else? The LIAR in chief!—my addition)?
The answer is not university presidents. The answer is that the Obama administration let the dogs out.
The trigger event was an agreement signed last May between the federal government and the University of Montana to resolve a Title IX dispute over a sexual-assault case (The federal government has no Constitutional authority to be involved in education! NONE!—my addition).
Every college administrator in the U.S. knows about this agreement. Indeed, there are three separate, detailed ‘Montana’ documents that were signed jointly—and this is unusual—by the civil-rights divisions of the Justice and Education Departments. Remarked DoJ’s Joceyln Samuels, ‘The government is stronger when we speak with one voice (And MORE tyrannical!—my addition).’
That’s real muscle. But read the agreement. It is Orwellian (It is from the Obama Administration! Why wouldn’t it be?—my addition).
The agreement orders the school to retain an ‘Equity Consultant’ (yes, there is such a thing [No way!—my addition]) to advise it indefinitely on compliance. The school must, with the equity consultant, conduct ‘annual climate surveys (For global warming?—my addition).’ It will submit the results ‘to the United States (Get the federal government out of education!—my addition).’
The agreement describes compliance in mind-numbing detail, but in fact the actual definitional world it creates is vague. It says: ‘The term ‘sexual harassment’ means unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature (Who defines unwelcome? Who determines unwelcome? Is this from adult lawyers?—my addition).’ But there are also definitions for sexual assault and gender-based harassment. All of this detailed writ is called ‘guidance.’ As in missile.
No constitutional lawyer could read this agreement and not see in it the mind of the Queen of Hearts: ‘Sentence first, verdict afterwards!’ Indeed, the U.S. Education Department felt obliged to assert that the agreement is ‘entirely consistent with the First Amendment (Which means it is not!—my addition).’
First Amendment? It's more like a fatwa. The Obama administration has issued a federal hunting license to deputize fanatics at any university in America. They will define who gets accused, and on what basis (That is the Obama way!—my addition).
The White House enabled these forces again last week, releasing an Education Department list of 55 colleges that are ‘under investigation’ for possible Title IX violations. Not formally cited but ‘under investigation.’ The list includes such notorious Animal Houses as Catholic University, Swarthmore, Knox College, Carnegie Mellon and Harvard Law School. In truth, every school in America is effectively on the list.
Make no mistake, universities under constant pressure from the Obama administration and the most driven members of their ‘communities’ will comply and define due process downward. If the liability choice falls between the lawyer brigades at the Holder Justice Department or some 19-year-old student or an assistant professor who didn’t post the course’s ‘trigger warning,’ guess who will get tossed to the Marcusian mobs at Harvard and Vassar (The [In]Justice Department?—my addition)?
If it’s possible for the left to have its John Birch moment, we’re in it. Wave goodbye to cardboard civility.”
Why is this nation letting this lawless nonsense continue! This is a federal system not the United Socialist Kingdom of Obama!

This is my two part suggestion to Tea Party groups, social conservatives, Constitutionalists, and anyone else who wants to save our Republic from the approaching destruction.
1) Run as many conservative candidates in as many Republican primaries as possible.
2) Then, run as many independent and/or third party candidates as possible in as many races as possible where we did not win the primary.

Competition is good for the economy and competition is good for the Republican Party!!! Competition keeps Congressmen committed to we the people!!! Primary Republicans who do not support the Constitution as written.
