When last we checked in on Cornell University, they were being sued for expelling a senior chemistry major whose female friend complained that she was too drunk to consent to their sleepover hookup. Punishing drunk college kids for doing what drunk college kids do may seem rather extreme, but nothing is too extreme for some elite university officials:
A video sting operation shows Cornell’s assistant dean for students, Joseph Scaffido, agreeing to everything suggested by an undercover muckraker posing as a Moroccan student.
Scaffido casually endorses inviting an ISIS “freedom fighter” to conduct a “training camp” for students at the upstate Ithaca campus — bizarrely likening the activity to a sports camp.
Is it OK to bring a humanitarian pro-“Islamic State Iraq and Syria” group on campus, the undercover for conservative activist James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas asks.
Sure, Scaffido says in the recorded March 16 meeting.
Scaffido doesn’t even blink an eye when the undercover asks about providing material support for terrorists — “care packages, whether it be food, water, electronics.”
How about supporting Hamas?
No problem at all, Scaffido said. . . .
Read the whole thing. It’s amazing how political correctness operates, so that a violent Islamic “freedom fighter” is welcome at Cornell University, but a chemistry major’s penis is not.
(Via Memeorandum.)
How can they recruit human shields without a college presence?
Our esteemed host got it right:
Not if it that penis attached to a homosexual
manmale: then it is acceptable. But on heterosexual men, it is a tool — pun very much intended — of the cisheteronormative patriarchy, and must be opposed.I could not think of a more misogynistic group than ISIS…other than perhaps scheduling Ted Cruz to come speak at Cornell (but we know that is never going to happen).
Why should anyone be shocked? Muslims get a pass on everything so it’s not really hard to believe that an ISIS group on campus would be welcome there.
Unless Cornell really wants to try the defense that the man was too stupid to know what was being asked of him.
OTOH, Bergdahl has been charged with desertion today.
He might be welcomed as a speaker at Cornell.
