Santa Monica College Advises Students to Report Incidents of ‘Hate Speech’ to Police
“This will not be tolerated”
What are the police going to do? Arrest people? Write tickets? And who decides what qualifies as hate speech? It doesn’t sound like they thought this through very thoroughly.

College tells students to report ‘hate speech’ to police
The president of Santa Monica College is urging students who witness “hate speech” to file a report with campus police.
“Reaffirming SMC’s Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion” was emailed to all students and staff on May 3 after an unknown “outside visitor brought hate speech onto one of Santa Monica College’s campuses.”
“This will not be tolerated,” writes President Kathryn E. Jeffries. “If you are the target of hate speech or witness it, you should immediately contact the Santa Monica College Police Department at (310) 434-4300 or submit an anonymous report to campus police.”
The email also encouraged students “not to engage with the individual causing such an incident,” instead referring them to the school’s crime reporting form, which allows students to anonymously claim incidents such as theft and assault.
Notably, a drop-down list to select the “type of crime being reported” does not include a category for “hate speech,” asking students to briefly describe the incident if it does not fall under the categories of “theft,” “vandalism,” “assault,” or “drug offense.”
Reached by Campus Reform, SMC spokeswoman Grace Smith explained that reporting hate speech is important because incidents of bias are “considered a serious breach of community expectations, and need to be reported to allow for appropriate investigation.”

Those on whom the snowflakes sic the law should, after the cops laugh and leave, sue the snowflakes and playboy for keeps.
Play it…
“… and need to be reported to allow for appropriate investigation.”
This sounds like “code” for “no action will be taken.”
Very reasonable, actually.
oh… if only I was a student again. We would stuff this nonsense right back into their face with hundreds of anonymous complaints about liberal “hate speech” that goes on every day in classrooms and all other places. She would rue the day that she ever said such a silly thing.
Exactly, bury them in their own bullshit. “Hello? Campus Po-Po? My professor was just advocating to undermine my inalienable rights given to me by God, and I found it downright hateful!”
Did I understand correctly?
Is she telling students to report constitutionally protected speech as a crime? Where did thy find this idiot?
On a campus teeming with illegals and homeless, students should call the police on someone just TALKING?
