Stanford Students Brought to Tears by Campus Flyers Supporting ICE
“students felt unsafe and hurt”
Stanford students are doing all they can to reinforce the stereotype of campus snowflakes. Can you imagine crying over this? The flyers weren’t even serious.
The College Fix reported:
Stanford students feel ‘unsafe and hurt,’ brought to tears over flyers defending ICE agents
Some Stanford University students felt “unsafe and hurt” and were apparently brought to tears over satirical flyers defending ICE agents hung in the Kimball Hall dorm.
That according to the student who hung them, Isaac Kipust, who writes he was subsequently summoned before Associate Dean of Students Alejandro Martinez and his aggrieved peers to answer for his actions.
“[S]ince three students felt unsafe and hurt, they and the Kimball RAs had removed my flyers,” Kipust wrote in a column for the Stanford Review.
“According to them, my flyers were ‘hate speech’ and hence inappropriate for the Kimball community. Because they apparently mocked a flyer protecting an identity group, they constituted an act of intolerance. Most egregiously, because of their effect on the three crying students at the table, I was not permitted to repost my flyers,” he wrote about what he was told during the meeting.
He added he was surprised to be told that “feelings trumped my right to express speech others might find objectionable,” a finding he felt was in direction opposition to Stanford’s policies on free speech.

Newspeak is *working*.
Apparently Stanford simply will not tolerate intolerance.
It’s a good thing those ICE agents were simply hung in Kimball Hall instead of hanged there. There’d be some ‘splainin’ to do…
Sounds like it’s time to call FIRE and sue the crap out of these idiots.
It looks like Stanford has since come around to the right conclusion:

Thought Leader: “Let’s create an environment that turns our successors into pussies and radicalizes our opposition into mortal enemies”
An obvious violation of CA’s Leonard Law, which requires any higher ed in the state that takes public money to protect freedom of speech. The Stanford Review successfully sued under this law in the 1990s to overturn Stanford’s speech code at the time, called the Gray Standard, but leftist thugs always keep trying to break the law.
These people clearly will not make it in the real world. We must help them. Give everyone tenure at the University of their choice. Then reality will never rear it’s ugly head and require true life skills. No worries, somebody else will pay for it.
He was surprised that feelings trump speech rights? Is he a very late enrollment for his Freshman year, or simply dense as a rock?
It’s like the overwrought tears of North Koreans after Dear Leader died.
