Penn State Prof Implies Young America’s Foundation Somehow Responsible for Capitol Riots
“I question if your national organization has some responsibility for recent actions.”
Young America’s Foundation is an organization that promotes conservative ideas on college campuses. They had absolutely nothing to do with what happened at the Capitol.
From the YAF blog:
Penn State Prof: YAF Bears ‘Responsibility’ For Capitol Riot, ‘Under No Condition’ Would I Support YAF Chapter
A “distinguished” professor at Penn State University rebuffed a conservative student’s request to advise a Young Americans for Freedom chapter, falsely claiming Young America’s Foundation bears responsibility for the Capitol riot and noting that “under no condition” would he support a YAF chapter on campus.
Pete Hatemi, a political science professor, noted that he does not “take part in any campus political movements…in order to be an unbiased instructor,” but noted that he would never support the conservative organization, according to an email obtained exclusively by YAF.
“But in your case, under no condition, would I support any group that has an implied or explicit support for Trump, racism, sexism, or indifference to democratic values, including peace, liberty, freedom, and justice for all peoples,” Hatemi wrote. He also absurdly accused YAF of bearing the blame for the recent riot at the Capitol, noting “I question if your national organization has some responsibility for recent actions.”
Hatemi went on to say that the chapter’s timing “could be seen as offensive to many.”
Penn State did not respond to multiple requests for comment from YAF in time for publication.
“College is supposed to be a place where I am free to listen and learn,” PSU YAF chairman John Stafford told YAF. “Yet my experience has been filled with roadblocks and professors limiting me to the realms of their own ideologies. I am proud to be a member of YAF––I will not speak quietly or amend my beliefs.”
Stafford clapped back in a reply to the professor’s email, calling his claims “unsubstantiated” and “dishonorable.”

Someone, anyone: what is “political science”? What is taught in this course of study? How about back in the days before the SJWs took over? What is studied?
