New in PJ Media:
“A time is coming,” said St. Anthony the Great way back in the fourth century, “when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, ‘You are mad; you are not like us.’” And here we are. Fox News reported Friday that “students at the University of Southern Maine (USM) are demanding that their professor be replaced for saying that only two sexes exist.”
The students, drunk on the Left’s fantasies and propaganda about there being a multiplicity of genders, actually got up and walked out of professor Christy Hammer’s graduate education class en masse, because she dared to state the simple and obvious truth that cuts against the way they wish the world to be: There are only two biological sexes, male and female.
In response, instead of telling the students that they should stop denying the obvious and try to reconcile themselves to reality, university officials acceded to their demand to hold what the Bangor Daily News called a “facilitated restorative justice meeting.” Adamantine in their delusions, the students demanded that Hammer be fired. USM professors who believe that water is wet and that human beings cannot get along without breathing air are trembling; they could be next.
Oddly enough, in today’s carnival academic environment, USM declined to bring the hammer down on Hammer. However, it did bow to the slavering crazies enough to make an “alternative, identical class” available to the students who remain defiant in their insanity. USM spokesperson Gina Marie Guadagnino explained, “We have developed an alternative plan for this class and will be opening a new section of this course for those students who would like to move.” Sane students, however, will still be able to take Hammer’s class: “The original section taught by professor Hammer will continue for any student who wishes to remain in that class.” It will be interesting to see how many students choose each option.
The fantasists, however, are predictably fascist and are not placated just by being given a playpen in which they can play pretend at will. They still want Hammer’s head on a platter — figuratively, right? Right? USM student Elizabeth Leibiger, who was behind the walkout, declared, “I think that the next step USM needs to take is being clear what accountability will look like for Christy Hammer.”
Yeah. By golly, Hammer needs to be held accountable for her egregious deeds. If USM had an ounce of integrity, it would hold her accountable, all right: It would give her an award and a nice raise, announced publicly by the president of the university, for standing up for the truth in a viciously hostile environment. It would provide her with round-the-clock police protection in light of the Left’s ever-increasing propensity for violence.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Back when Mao Tse-tung was the Chairman, the Chinese Red Guards used to call these “struggle sessions”.

There are two sexes: male and female. There three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter. There are are an infinite number of mental problems and every person ever born has had at least one – and there are people who know how to take advantage of that.

An article about this appeared in the Maine Bangor Daily News but, surprisingly, not in the Leftist Portland Press Herald.
What was most disappointing was the fact that the students just “walked out” and tried to “cancel” the professor rather than have a “productive discussion”.
Except for some extremely rare genetic abnormalities, there are two sexes male XY and female XX.
We are living in a world of absurdity which needs to be fixed – and soon.

The quote from the Christian, St, Anthony unfortunately sums up the twilight zone we now find ourselves living in.
The other interesting and more than a little disturbing side to this story is the “students” demanding that the university change to meet their twisted demands.
What part of the concept where a teacher talks and a student shuts their mouth and learns is it they won’t understand.

So much for “following the science”.

Before I reached the end, I was thinking…”yes, she needs to be held accountable…and given praise and a raise…and then Mr. Spencer’s words were almost exactly what I thought. she should be told they appreciate her being Truthful and teaching what is correct and they should make as much of this in public as they can.
The “students’ aren’t there to learn; they are enrolled to bully and make the professors conform to their way of believing…it isn’t really *thinking*…it is more a way of feeling than using the actual thought processes of reasoning and logic and testing of ideas and theories.
The U should not have given in. They “students” should have been told: You are here to learn. If you don’t already know that there are two sexes…how did they get old enough to attend a university without learning that simple fact?…then listen as Ms. Hammer explains it to you and you’ll have learned something. And if you don’t want to sit in class and learn, then you shouldn’t be here.

What do you want to wager that if this female teacher was wearing a Hijab and stated that there are ONLY two sexes,Male and Female, would she be treated this way?.
Does anybody think these silly wee blue haired nose ringed tattooed morons would want her canceled or fired… The Far Left madness of today’s spoiled rotten entitled shallow empty headed youth seems to know no bounds.
I blame their parents as much as the students unless their parents are just so proud of the wastes of space they produced today.
