Would be hilarious if not so sad. And y'all wonder why the right shakes their heads about what our leftist universities are churning out.




If there’s anything that nullifies the argument for a college education, it would be the fact that Anthea Butler, despite having fewer brain cells than most lab monkeys and no ability to detect when she is contradicting herself in the same sentence, is a college professor at UPenn.
My initial tweet about Bacile, the person said to be responsible for the film mocking the prophet Mohammed, was not because I am against the First Amendment.​
Clearly not. Suggesting that people go to jail for their speech is what supporters of the First Amendment usually do.
If there is anyone who values free speech, it is a tenured professor!​
Tenured professors value their speech, not the free speech of people who disagree with them, which is what her entire response proves.
So why did I tweet that Bacile should be in jail? The “free speech” in Bacile’s film is not about expressing a personal opinion about Islam. It denigrates the religion by depicting the faith’s founder in several ludicrous and historically inaccurate scenes to incite and inflame viewers.​
So which part of that isn’t a personal opinion?
Is Anthea Butler saying that personal opinions become illegal when in the opinion of an Associate Prof at UPenn they are “historically inaccurate”. Or is she saying that inflammatory personal opinions can be illegal?

Now that is a good question. If you're a person in a position of power and you week in week out make the case that someone should be killed, and one of your readers/listeners/followers takes you up on it, where exactly does your personal responsibility lay in the resulting murder?

One might recall the case of Bill O'Reilly's calls for an abortion doctor to be executed, and after months of him saying this Dr should be killed, guess what...

One can support free speech and at the same time expect that people be held accountable for the results of that speech. There is no contradiction in these two views.
 
that is a horribly written article.

really? THAT is all this guy needs to hate education?? Wow, sad, just sad. Obviously he has no education and knows no one With an education. I do. And having an education is way better than not having one. Better for one quality of life, better for dealing with the ups and downs of survival, better for one's enjoyment.....etc.

plus, who bases their entire thesis on a stupid tweet ?
ALL tweets are moronic. :rolleyes:


the only purpose of this lame article is to slam one person and NOT to discus the very important purpose of the First Amendment.

Free Speech does not protect incitement and that is a fairly long standing and accepted legal principle. It's like the old "You can't yell fire in a crowded theatre" thing. If it's likely to cause trouble then you have a responsibility not to do it. If you actually use your speech to make trouble then you are definitely running afoul of the law and here is where I think the professor is wrong - this "movie" was created to incite a violent reaction.

Of course, there is a very simple reason Bacile should go to jail. He's a crook and a serial offender - but he turned informant for the FBI. Who knows, he may still be working for them - trying to flush out "extremists" and provoke violence.

Perhaps you should show some respect to your readers and come up with her original speech, and THEN you point out where you disagree with her?
