California: Far-Left prof rips down 9/11 memorial posters at Saddleback College

Sep 10, 2016 8:57 am By Robert Spencer

“After ripping down the posters, video footage of the incident reveals that the professor came over to tell the students that they were not allowed to put up posters on that part of campus, because it was not a free speech zone.”

In reality, the entire United States of America is a free speech zone — at least for now, until people such as Margot Lovett get their way and forcibly silence those who putatively offend their Islamic supremacist and jihadist friends and allies.

“Gender studies prof rips down 9/11 memorial posters,” by Peter Van Voorhis, Campus Reform, September 9, 2016:

Members of the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at Saddleback College had their 9/11 memorial posters ripped down and shredded by the chair of the school’s History department.

According to The New Guard, the students were participating in the Young America’s Foundation “9/11: Never Forget” project, which involves planting 2,977 American flags to remember the lives lost 15 years ago on 9/11, when they were accosted by the professor, who proceeded to rip down their posters and direct them to confine their activities to one of the “free speech areas” on campus.

Lovett “blatantly infringed on our First Amendment rights by ripping down the posters.”

Prior to that altercation, The New Guard reported Wednesday that the school administration had cancelled the planned memorial service, prompting the YAF members to defy the prohibition by waking up before dawn to plant the flags and hang posters.The students told Campus Reform that the perpetrator was Margot Lovett, a gender studies and humanities professor who has a history of controversial actions on campus. Notably, OC Weekly reported in 2001 that she had promulgated a statement by the Black Radical Congress to her colleagues blaming “U.S. Imperialism” for the 9/11 attacks.

After ripping down the posters, video footage of the incident reveals that the professor came over to tell the students that they were not allowed to put up posters on that part of campus, because it was not a free speech zone.

“I was absolutely amazed that a professor believed that they had the authority to tear down posters put up by students in remembrance of the terrorist attacks,” Audra Leslie, the president of the Saddleback’s YAF chapter, told Campus Reform. “Instead of going to a higher level student office she took it upon herself to rid a student organization’s right to free speech on campus.”After the incident, the students talked with the campus police department, student government, and school administration. All of them were unsure of the legality of the professor’s actions and the way she approached the students….

    Yup – the hallmark of the regressive left. No wonder they get along nicely with muslim “extremists”, who also do away with proper procedure in favour of mob rule.

      Hello again Angemon — Please allow me to parachute down into your front yard’s rosebushes ( OUCH — THORNY ! ! ! ) for a bit of urging to our fellow readers on JW:

      If a little spare time appears today and ESPECIALLY TOMMORROW — 9/11, how about sending an email of support to YAF’s courageous Audra Leslie?

      The situation could have quickly turned into violent thuggery, because the only thing a left-leaner more than trashing free speech is provoking a riot and ensuing police response.

      Let’s also not forget to contact sedition loving professor Margot Lovett — but disguise the subject line of that email so she will actually open it.

      Make it something idiotically pretentious like “New research in vectored privilege among white male upper tier Republicans” (because her special area of concentration is what we charitably call “soft studies”).

      BE POLITE OF COURSE. Those of us here who want to devote a dollop of extra effort to shredding this fool can also include verses from the Qur’an, passages from the Hadith, and details about Muhammad’s sick life that cause Westernized Muslims to vomit when they actually learn how disgusting their main dude was.

      Yes, muslims and leftists do have a lot in common as both groups believe they are the best and that they have the right to silence anyone who would dare to disagree with their dogma. Leftism is a religion for most of these America-hating fanatics, just as fundamentalist Islam is the motivation for Jihad and misogyny. Both muslims and leftists do not believe in freedom of speech, religion, the press, and the equality of the sexes (muslims believe men are superior, leftists believe women are superior)!

          Except that those posters were attached to the school’s property. So it appears that the posters were abandoned—unless YAF had the permission of the student government, as Lovett claimed is required.

          It’s by the way that just this week I tore down some posters of criminals who are calling their gang the “Socialist Equality Party”.

    Whatever one thinks of the professor, she is (IMO) correct.

    The school can, and does make rules about such things–and she did tell the YAF members that they couldn’t just place posters on the buildings (one can imagine how the building’s walls would look without those rules.

    She didn’t need to mangle the posters, though, and should have simply told the YAF members to take the posters down and to follow established procedures in order to post them.

    The entire United States is NOT a free speech zone–just come to my house and I will make that clear to you.

    • Kay says

      Sep 10, 2016 at 10:08 am

      Right, the intensity she had in taking them down and that she mangled them instead of just collecting them and giving them back indicates that she had more feelings and intentions than simply protecting the look of the building.
      And why do you think she took that enforcement task on herself? That certainly can’t be part of her job.

      • PRCS says

        Sep 10, 2016 at 10:23 am

        I don’t think she was concerned with protecting the buildings appearance–rather compliance with the rules for such postings.

        If she had an ulterior motive, it was not apparent from the video.

        That the YAF folks intentionally posted them early in the morning (per the articles) may have been a motive.

        Part of her job? Don’t know.

        Appropriate authorities are unsure if her method was appropriate.

        An alternative, for her, would have been to ask the campus police to enforce whatever the rules are.

        Many questions.

          Sep 10, 2016 at 11:23 am

          “I don’t think she was concerned with protecting the buildings appearance–rather compliance with the rules for such postings.”

          I can tell you her “concern” wasn’t with “compliance with the rules for such postings.” In fact, as her hair might suggest she ain’t a “rules” kinda gal…

          In all the years I was at univeristy, never did I see a professor personally and physically intervene with any such mundane infractions which are the purview of college bureaucracy. There is a link between her ideology and actions which is the crux of her impetus. In other words, her concern was not propriety but expession of an opinion she abhors.

        • PRCS says

          Sep 10, 2016 at 12:04 pm

          You can’t factually tell me that, as it’s merely your opinion.

          Having worked in campus security during my early college years, every time someone decided to place flyers on cars parked on campus grounds–without permission–we had to remove them and inform those posting the flyers where to request that permission.

          I didn’t note from the video any ulterior motive on her part, but I do note:

          ” the school administration had cancelled the planned memorial service, prompting the YAF members to defy the prohibition by waking up before dawn to plant the flags and hang posters”

          Yup–a real stickler for rules of order.

          Or perhaps she didn’t want to see any remembrance of the victims of 9/11. Why would I think this? Here is what she had to say just two days after the horror of 9/11:

          On September 13, 2001, just 2 days after the attacks, Lovett told her fellow faculty members a press release from a New York group called the Black Radical Congress contained “most cogent analysis” of the attacks she’d seen.

          In the release Lovett brought forth, the group blamed the United States for the attack. “One clearly sees the callousness and evil intent with which U.S. imperialism treats the lives and property of others, especially non-white peoples around the globe,” the release read.

          When Lovett received pushback for her support for the Black Radical Congress statement blaming the US, she defended it by blaming racism, saying, “If the heading had said this was from the Republican National Committee or some Quaker group, I wonder if people would have been more accepting of what the statement said.”

          GI,

          The issue, here, involves the flyers and stickers, those who posted them, and their removal.

          Like the Aug 22 Canadian plane crash story, there’s a lot of conclusion jumping going on here.

          ”the school administration had cancelled the planned memorial service, prompting the YAF members to defy the prohibition by waking up before dawn to plant the flags and hang posters”

          ——————–

          “Editor’s note: On Friday, after the article was published, Saddleback College officials released a statement on the matter:

          Saddleback College supports student clubs and their right to organize and exercise their freedom of speech. At the beginning of each academic year, in order to organize meetings and hold events, student clubs must go through an activation process that includes an orientation, the establishment of a club constitution and by-laws, and the appointment of a faculty adviser.

          Young Americans for Freedom contacted the college’s student development office before fall semester classes began to state their intention to plan an event commemorating 9/11. The director made clear that the students would have to complete the club activation process before the event could be approved. As of today the students have not completed the requirements to form a club.

          On September 8th, the students posted stickers and flyers on several campus buildings, which is a violation of South Orange County Community College District policy. The students also did this without first seeking approval from college administration. However, flyers that were posted by the students in the free speech areas on campus have not been removed by college personnel.

          The director of student life has reached out to the students and invited them to meet and discuss the steps that can be taken to work collaboratively with the college in the future and in accordance with college and district policies and procedures.

          In addition: “despite Lovett tearing down their posters, they inserted all their flags in the ground to mark the anniversary, and the flags remained up all day”

          Whatever one thinks of the woman’s ideology…..

          With respect, PRCS, I believe it involves more than that.

          You said that “I don’t think she was concerned with protecting the buildings appearance–rather compliance with the rules for such postings.

          I gave ample evidence that she was indeed an apologist for the savagery of 9/11–I cannot believe that this is not salient here, and that we should just suppose that she is a nitpicker when it comes to observing college rules on putting up posters.

          “I believe it involves more than that”

          And isn’t that where it should remain until all the facts are known?

          She told the YAF folks why she was taking them down (although I think she should have had the campus police handle that), where the free speech area was, that everyone was welcome there, that they couldn’t just post those items on the wall, and where to seek permission to do so.

          I’m not going to assume that she was doing anything more than that.

          And, she didn’t even sound mean, to me; stating “sorry” to them.

          I don’t know what her responsibilities are, in such an instance, or what actions she’s supposed to take, stating “that’s why I have to take them down”.

          And, the YAF folks seem to have embellished their version of events.

    • BW022 says

      Sep 10, 2016 at 11:44 am

      Yes, colleges can have rules for posting materials. The main purposes of such rules are typically to prevent massive amounts of advertising around campus and/or to ensure that you know who is putting them up so that you can ensure they aren’t damaging property, failing to take them down after the event, that they aren’t too large, etc. It keeps someone from brining a crane and putting up a 100′ high banner, putting 1000 paper postings over all the buildings which turn into soggy wet messes, etc.

      However… it isn’t up to the professor to enforce such regulations. I seriously doubt she is rooming the halls looking for posters without stamps. She just found those ones ‘offensive’ and took it upon herself to remove them. You simply say… “Hey… you need to get a stamp in order to place signs up around campus. You can get one over there.” If she wants to report the signs… poor taste, but sure.

      Finally, needing stamps (while one can see the legitimate purpose) of course has the problem that you know that the administration is going to use this as a censorship tool. They’ll apply standards besides just “You must take them down. You must include a contact number. They can’t be larger than X.” They’ll apply all sorts of community, offensive, truth, etc. standards which will always be filtered through their sensibilities.

      I entirely agree. There is nothing here, and I think it is somewhat self defeating to create an issue where none exists, when there are so many real issues elsewhere. Every institution I have ever seen, from the local supermarket to the telephone poles on my street, enforces some policy on where you can post hand bills and where you cannot, and most have a policy of requiring approval of what can be posted. Without such a policy every building would be covered with posters about every cause and commercial interest under the sun.

          Apparently she didn’t listen to the guy who perpetrated the whole thing saying it was in response to the US presence in Saudi Arabia; which OBL said, pararphrasing, offended his Islamic sensibilities as we can’t have kuffar residing where Muhammed’s imaginary friend came down and told him to unhitch the space pony.

      I’m with you, PRCS. While I support free speech, I will not allow someone to stick posters on my house or signs in my yard without asking permission first. I would also not allow someone to set up a soap-box in my yard and start shouting through a bull-horn at 4 o’clock in the morning. There are certain rules that have to be established and followed in order to keep one person’s right to free speech from infringing on another person’s right to peace and quiet or the right to protect his property. I can’t walk into the public library and start making speeches while other people are there trying to read and study.

      These students should have found out first what the rules are for posting signs on campus. If they had obtained the proper permission and the professor still took the signs down, then there would have been a problem concerning freedom of speech. That’s how I see it.

        The YAF folks may actually have known what the rules/procedures were.

        And, IMO, this probably should have been handled by the campus police.

        Yes, I agree with those making the point about colleges regulating postings.

        They ought to do so, but I wonder what the prof would have done if they were black lives matter posters or some LGBTetc posters or some Islamic Student Assoc. Rules and laws need to be consistently enforced, and they are not.

        I wish the YAF students would have asked for the posters back that she confiscated, so they could have put them up in the proper area. She probably had no right to “keep” them, if they had asked.

        In any case, bravo for these young patriots !

      Actually, it is. If I took you up on your invitation, and went to your house, I would be perfectly entitled to speak my mind about anything I wanted to speak about while there. And if you didn’t like what I had to say, you would be entirely within your rights to require me to leave – at which point I would leave. But if you told me not to speak about this or that while there, I would be entirely within my rights to ignore you.

      Thanks for that post Jay Boo. It is sad to imagine that these kind of “lessons” on Islam go on all over the nation. Here is what they spoke about…

      “Today is just a gathering to teach or explain what is Islam and the legacies of Muslims that were left and women’s roles,” said Yassine.”

      We can easily guess what bs they were told, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so proud of the event. It will have been total falsehoods and lies. Instead, they should have shown a series of David Wood videos and had a discussion centred around them. That would have been valuable.

      Their objective?

      “We want crosstalk amongst the religions so we can have a multicultural community. All three of the monotheistic religions are based on the same thing; Islam is just a reboot, just a continuation of the old ones. It’s not a new religion,” said Yassine.”

      That phrase is so very wrong. It is a total lie! Imagine Islam being a “reboot” of Christianity or Judaism, just a continuation of these. Rather, it is a perversion of these great religions! It is written “The Devil can quote the scriptures for his own purpose” and that is exactly what happened here when Islam came along and plagiarized and distorted pieces of these other religions and incorporated them in Muhammad’s made up religion.

    It sounds like the campus rules about whether posters are allowed on buildings (or not) were anything but clear. What is clear is that this professor was offended by the message, and she was determined to act as self-appointed censor.

    There are certain points of view that are considered not acceptable to be worthy of discussion on today’s college campuses. For example, any suggestion that the 9/11 highjackers were motivated by Islamic ideology is considered way beyond the pale.

    First, shame on that left wing collage professor for her terrible actions . In Islamic countries she would be a second class citizen because she a female. So is very absurd that she would feel so fondly towards Islamic countries. How totally illogical she is. What a fool she must be. Second,don’t let them fool you, the many apologists for Islam is will endeavor to set up a smokescreen to hide the reality of the truth about the violence and deadly essence of Islam by making the bogus claim that the al Qaeda operatives mass murderer on 9/11 were not real Muslims and that they were breaking the laws of the Qu ‘ran by their violence and deadly actions.” The apologists for Islam will further make the totally false claim that “Those terrorists on 9/11 were only criminals who hijacked the peaceful religion of Islam for Politics.” Those outrageously false claims are weak attempt of damage control for the image of Islam to the West. For the “holy book” of Islam the Qu ‘ran. For the Qu ‘ran instruct in Sura 9:111. Muslims who are engaging the jihad that “The believer’s fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain ,they kill and are killed “ That’s just what happened on September 11, 2001 the jihadists of al Qaeda “killed and were killed” in those 9/11 jihad attacks against both humankind and America. The Quran also teaches in Sura 9:123 to that jihad –minded Muslims behavior towards non-Muslims “let them find harshness in you…” Those Islamic attacks on 9/11 were indeed very “harsh.” As Sura 2:191 instructs “kill the disbeliever wherever you find them.” That’s a very strange kind of “peaceful religion” if there ever was one. Just to site one more out on many from the Qu ‘ran about the instruction of deadly violence is Sura 47:4. Which instructs “Whenever you encounter unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them …” Let’s face it, using jet planes a missiles as those jihadist/ Muslims did of September 11, sure made a greater “slaughter among them” then sword can. Wake up West to the actual nature of Islam before it’s too late.

    “U.S. Imperialism” is an excuse still popular among libertarians, too. Like the leftists, they won’t test their silly prejudice with obvious questions. For example, if hostility to “U.S. Imperialism” was the leading or exclusive motive, then why were all 19 hijackers Muslims? Couldn’t they find any leftist radicals who shared their alleged aversion? Are no leftist radicals willing to die to stop “U.S. Imperialism”?

    Leftists have no aversion to thievery, homicide, and mass destruction. So why weren’t a few trusted leftists invited to help with the planning of the attacks? Were the planners and hijackers not interested in contaminating their mission with common leftist motives?

          I can’t believe it’s been 15 years since 9/11. I remember being riveted to cable news, desperately hoping it was a situation like the “Miracle on the Hudson” with a plane having lost control.

          When the second plane hit I knew it was not just some terrible accident.

          When the first tower fell I literally could not breath–I knew I had just witnessed the death of hundreds of people.

          I immediately suspected it was Islamic terrorism. I was “politically correct” enough to feel rather guilty about my suspicion. No more.

        • Georg says

          Sep 10, 2016 at 11:06 pm

          It is hard to imagine it’s been 15 years. It was a traumatizing day of enormous confusion. I didn’t see any of the planes hit live, nor did I see the towers fall until later in the day. It was all so jolting. It was hard to do any work in the evenings for over a week. I remember a guy I had grown up with staring at a tv saying he was going to enlist.

          I later met a guy who was in a carpenter’s union who was close by on the day and initially went to try and help without realizing the magnitude of it all. He now has substantial psychiatric problems relating to the events of the day and is for all practical purposes impaired from living a normal life.

          Another man who went there regularly in the immediate aftermath to try and help however he could has substantial health problems relating to the toxins which were in the air. Among other things, he has serious vertigo and has to take time off of work during bad spells and likely will have to retire early. His condition may even lead to an early death.

          Your feelings of being “politcally correct” are things I experienced to some degree as well. The aftermath was a period of reckoning for many, and probably always will be.

    Notice that the professor who removed the posters damaged them unnecessarily.

    If there are times when some rules would make sense on campus, then how about applying them evenly. But no, it’s always conservative and other targeted groups that are held to the strictest letter of the law. Leftist groups are allowed to act out in the most despicable and violent manner, always sheltered by the radical faculty and administrators who are eager to protect *their* speech and delicate emotional states.

    My first reaction to the video was ‘well, the students should have followed the rules’. Shows you how easily we get conditioned to the left’s little rules/obstructions. In reality, a college campus should be plastered with *all* kinds of radical, conservative, thoughtful, stupid, uncomfortable, impolite and confrontational speech.

    If a car is left illegally parked, it may be removed, but the law does not allow it to be deliberately damaged.
    If a LL removes property from an apartment due to non-payment of rent, he is not allowed to damage it or even dispose of it (for a period of time).

    She may have had a legal standing in removing the posters, but they did not belong to her. She tore them illegally. For this, she should be charged with destruction of private property. A charge for each poster she ruined.

    And the way she walked while ripping them down, and then arrogantly across the lot…looked a lot like the moslims in burkas look.

      Champ, c’mon.

      Caught on tape siding with the enemy: islam & company?

      I don’t want to be mean, but she was taking down posters that weren’t supposed to be there.

      Whether her action was appropriate is in question.

      • Champ says

        Sep 10, 2016 at 11:58 pm

        PRCS,

        From the headline it states this about her:

        “The students told Campus Reform that the perpetrator was Margot Lovett, a gender studies and humanities professor who has a history of controversial actions on campus. Notably, OC Weekly reported in 2001 that she had promulgated a statement by the Black Radical Congress to her colleagues blaming ‘U.S. Imperialism” for the 9/11 attacks.'”

        So, with this in mind, I stand by my comment that …”she was caught on tape siding with the enemy: islam & company.”

        She was making a statement, and not *just* …”taking down posters that weren’t supposed to be there.”

          Preposterous …

          Margot Lovett blames “U.S. Imperialism for the 9/11 attacks”, and she’s giving islam & company a pass on 9/11–so she’s siding with the enemy.

          PRCS, you’re purposefully ignoring the facts. You may choose to ignore them, but I won’t. Nor should anyone else.

          Sep 11, 2016 at 12:13 pm

          Yes! From the video, the professor could have easily given those posters back to the students and asked them to remove the rest, until the posters had been ok’d to be put up. This woman righteously RIPPED these down carelessly and with deliberate disgust. If her reason was simply to remove them until approval she would not have been so disrespectful of what the posters represented or disrespectful of the students who put them up. Her voice tone and body language said it all.

        • PRCS says

          Sep 11, 2016 at 9:31 am

          I’m not going to hazard such a guess, as doing so would be as speculative as trying to attribute the reason she took those flyers down this past week with something she did 15 years ago.

          I don’t do palm reading, either.

          As I see it, the relevant facts, in this case, are:

          ”the school administration had cancelled the planned memorial service, prompting the YAF members to defy the prohibition by waking up before dawn to plant the flags and hang posters”

          “On Friday, after the article was published, Saddleback College officials released a statement on the matter:

          Saddleback College supports student clubs and their right to organize and exercise their freedom of speech. At the beginning of each academic year, in order to organize meetings and hold events, student clubs must go through an activation process that includes an orientation, the establishment of a club constitution and by-laws, and the appointment of a faculty adviser.
          Young Americans for Freedom contacted the college’s student development office before fall semester classes began to state their intention to plan an event commemorating 9/11. The director made clear that the students would have to complete the club activation process before the event could be approved. As of today the students have not completed the requirements to form a club.
          On September 8th, the students posted stickers and flyers on several campus buildings, which is a violation of South Orange County Community College District policy. The students also did this without first seeking approval from college administration. However, flyers that were posted by the students in the free speech areas on campus have not been removed by college personnel.
          The director of student life has reached out to the students and invited them to meet and discuss the steps that can be taken to work collaboratively with the college in the future and in accordance with college and district policies and procedures.”

          She took the posters down.

          Various statements and assertions in the three articles I read about this issue are at odds with what the video shows, college policies, or both.

          Just saw your last response, God you are stubborn(and repetitive). If everyone were to follow your logic, no person could ever be convicted of first degree murder, save in those rare instances where the perpetrator confesses, because the jury can never KNOW that the defendant acted with the subjective intent to kill. Talk about “beyond idiocy.” We can never KNOW exactly what was going through this woman’s mind (you idiot!) I was going to quote you and say that I will let your uninformed opinion of me pass, but I won’t. I will instead observe that you reserve only unto yourself the right to form an opinion even though you don’t KNOW all the facts. THAT’S “beyond idiocy.”

        Is it her job, in her capacity as a professor of “Gender Studies” to police “South Orange County Community College District policy” as to where posters can and cannot be hung? I seriously doubt it.

        Would she have reacted as she did (or at all) if, for example, she was walking past posters extolling the virtues of transgender bathrooms?

          Sep 11, 2016 at 11:28 am

          The point should be to look at *all* the evidence, plus commonsense *likelihood*.

          We already know this creature is a ‘Gender Studies (whatever nonsense that might be) Professor. So she’s clearly a leftard moron. We also know some of her students accuse her of marking essays according to whether or not they mirror *her* opinions. So she obviously doesn’t believe in freedom of expression or opinion., or speech.

          We also know she said at the time that America deserved 9/11 because of it’s foreign policy. In other words, this evil bitch thought almost 3,000 of her fellow citizens deserved to be murdered in the most horrifically painful ways. Do you really think she has changed her opinion ?

          I agree with others who have said tearing down posters put up against college regulations forms no part of a ‘Professor’s’ purview. It is, however, part of the ‘purview’ of snotty, arrogant little leftard polizei.

          Finally, she didn’t just take the posters down, she *crumpled* them, and as far as we know didn’t return the student’s property to them.

          Add all that together, and it is obvious to me that bitch took down the posters because she didn’t like the message, or agree with it.

          I fail to see why you are so anxious to defend her.

          Sep 11, 2016 at 3:52 pm

          @PRCS

          When will I present facts? Oh please.

          There’s this thing called reasonable inference from known facts. I can reasonably infer from the fact this woman is a professor of “gender studies” that her views are skewed leftwards. If there’s any doubt about that,another poster pointed to the FACT that she promulgated a statement attributing 9/11 to “US imperialism.” I can therefore infer that this woman was not pleased with the content of these posters, and that’s why she took them down.

          We also have student reviews of her treatment of students, to the effect that her grades reflect whether the student’s opinions agree with hers.

          Yes, it is my opinion that she is a fascist and that her actions were content-based suppression of speech that she didn’t like. Contrary the implications of your response, I said it was my opinion, formed after my review of the facts, including the video of this professor, As I said, I seriously doubt this professor’s job duties include policing of posters posted on exterior building walls(a reasonable inference based on my knowledge of what college professors do) and that that she didn’t like the content of these posters (another reasonable inference based on her endorsement of the view that “US imperialism” caused 9/11.

          That’s my opinion. If you have any contrary facts that you wish to bring to my attention, I will consider them. Otherwise I’m perplexed as to why you would defend this woman.

        I don’t have to “know” with 100% certainty whether this woman’s professorial job duties involved policing the placement of posters on the outside walls of campus buildings to form an opinion of her and what she did. Let’s say I’m 90% sure this is completely outside her job function. I am 100% certain that had she simply kept walking, the school would not have been the least bit critical of her failure to rip the posters off the wall. You seem to think you have a monopoly on the facts; prove me wrong.

        This was her attempt to suppress speech with which she personally disagreed. She is a narrow minded fascist. Her conduct was completely inappropriate. I harbor no illusions about her being disciplined in any way this, but this is symptomatic of the complete lack of tolerance for opposing views from the hard left on our college faculties.

          Not sure exactly what your point is (she’s not a fascist, those who disagree with you are)?

          My point is that this woman is not going to come out and say: “I’m intolerant of these students’ views, and I disagree with these students’ views, so I’m taking these posters down.” Among other things, she doubtless does not see herself this way.

          But the idea that she doesn’t still adhere to the repulsive views she endorsed after 9/11 just strains credulity (Graven’s words). And I find it difficult to believe that her removal of these posters (remember 9/11) was not a reflection of her personal views. It’s not as though repression of opposing views by college faculties on US campuses isn’t widespread and ongoing.

          You want to give her the benefit of the doubt, good for you. You are far more charitable than I. As far as I’m concerned she revealed herself for what she is many years ago:

          The notion that removing those posters, flyers, etc., –this past week–was driven by actions/statents of 15 years ago–unless there are FACTS to back it up– goes well beyond idiotic

    This college is within a community and they have seen fit to hire a threat to that surrounding community. The people who live work and raise their families in that community do not deserve to have a 9-11 terrorist sympathizer earning a living off of them within their midst. This employee is sympathetic to the perpetrators of the mass murder of nearly 3000 people who were just going about their daily lives. She is just one decision away from going over to the dark side as an accomplice and or perpetrator. Put up picture posters of her all around town.

    I just looked up Dr.Lovett in “Ratemyprofessor”. Most student reviews are positive. This does not surprise me because anyone who takes a gender studies class probably shares the same mindset. There are a few dissenting negative reviews, probably from students who had her for something other than gender studies (after all, she is a “history” teacher). Nearly all of them complain that she uses the class to push her agenda. Here is one of them:

    “Margot is a nice person, but when it comes to having the students “discuss” a topic, it’s the equivalent of verbal worksheets. She attempts to make you come up with thoughtful responses, but you’ll quickly find that she already knows the answer and ends up treating you like a child. Essays are graded by the proximity of your answer to her opinions.”

      I wasn’t a professor, but I taught A Level History. Any pupil of mine who was able to substantiate their opinion with evidence received a good mark from me, whether their opinion chimed with mine, or not. How *dare* she call herself a teacher.

        All *very* true, Western Canadian.

    She is not a administrator; she was not authorized to take down these posters. The school administration may have been authorized; but not her. And she damaged the posters, too.
