Quote from: kaysixteen on May 09, 2024, 08:55:57 PMI confess I too would be most interested to learn what kind of school has three dozen chaplains, and what, ahem, is the scope of religious affiliation held by this assemblage?A big, historically secular school. So there is room for a lot of things to happen on campus.

Chemerinksy also says "Please leave our house." Fisk then tries to pull Afaneh's microphone out of her hands. Afaneh says UC is funding weapons manufacturers and Fisk, relinquishing the mic, says "I have nothing to do with what the UC does."
So you can invade my house but I'm the one being dragged up to see what transgressions I have committed?
In a state with stand your ground laws, the response could well have involved a load of buckshot with the invader on the receiving end. But in Berkley?????? It seems not.
Truly we are living in cloud cuckoo land.
The charges of "Islamophobia" are simply hysterical.
The professor should have simply called the police, but I guess anger took over.
QuoteChemerinksy, a free speech scholar, has written that the presidents of the third-year law school class had asked him and Fisk to have graduating law students over for dinner last month.

Quote from: Hegemony on May 08, 2024, 09:29:51 PMQuote from: fishbrains on May 08, 2024, 02:33:46 PMIf I were Lord-God-King of the universe, all schools at any level receiving any federal funding would be required to have the same summer break, fall break, winter break, and spring break, so family members can take vacations at the same time.
This is what happens in English primary and secondary schools. It means that everyone knows when families can go on vacation, and prices are raised accordingly. Which means that families take their kids out of school during term-time, so they can actually afford to go to the Lake District or on that quick jaunt to Paris. So ... not a good strategy after all.
